wow..these abandoned skyscrapers are heartbreaking in so many ways..
I'm doing writing now- sci-fi stuff on living skyscrapers. Imagine the personalities of these towers? Abandonment is viewed as a worse fate then demolition, with its neglect and slow decay. Perhaps many of these abandoned towers might grow to hate and resent the humans who built them, then abandoned them, a sad inversion of the normally proud and benevolent skyscraper personality. Their hearts would be broken by what they view as a betrayal by their creators, and to some extent, their psyches would follow.

I sense some juicy story material here...
