They should partner with core urban for the podiums - otherwise its just gonna be as you said, garbage.
these developers don't seem to understand people live here, and prefer to see something nice at street level - no-one IN the city cares what the glassy towers look like from far away if there is literally nothing but endless glass to look at at street level.
I mean what's the point in the end - 90% of those windows then have blinds put in or are frosted so you can't see into them anyways.
You can tell the people who only care what the city looks like from far away vs those actually FROM here who actually WALK through the city and interact with it. Core urbans midrises speak with the street level - these are just cold monoliths.
