Feel free to let Singapore, New York, San Fran and Toronto know they're doing it wrong.
I don't see those cities doing entire block long buildings with a consistent glass glass façade. Street canyons can be fine if there's enough visual interest, this doesn't have that at all. If you have examples of this form of development in those cities I would like to see it. For reference this is ~130m of consistent glass facade treatment with no architectural details or articulation aside from a few fins and a slight bump near the base above the existing buildings. At the pedestrian experiential level, as well as those viewing from afar, it's a 130m glass wall.
