But I also think a city can be very modern and progressive with high quality lowrise development. Cities like Amsterdam, Stockholm, and Berlin are very lowrise but not generally thought of as museum pieces. Berlin's tallest building is actually about as tall as QC's tallest building yet Berlin is the larger than Montreal.
I agree that tall buildings shouldn't be universally seen as the enemy, but they shouldn't be regarded as essential either.
