The fact that paris isn't building residential towers everywhere like London, it isn't because paris can't or rich people don't want to live in paris, it's because of the height limit and nimbys in paris. People want to live in the city centre, with good views and by a river, with great transport connections, that's where a lot of the London skyscrapers are being built, if paris allowed it, lots of residential towers would start being built in central paris too, in beautifull and central areas, and by the seine, and paris would have more clusters and would be back in the game. The future for skylines is residential skyscrapers, but wealthy residents just want to live in the city centre, not out on the edges of the city, they want to live in a good quality, good design tower, In prime areas by rivers and with a good view, so the only way paris can grow its skyline and compete, is by allowing towers to be built in the centre of paris, if they don't, paris will keep falling behind, all the other eu countries allow and are building towers in the city centre now, if paris allowed it they would get lots of nice new towers
