Why everyone loves skyscraper?

Old Testament Book of Genesis, "Chapter 11, said the construction of human beings who want to combine the tower to heaven; to stop the human plan, God wants human beings speak different languages, so that humans can not communicate with each other, scheme therefore fails, since the bulk of human things. This tower is called Babel.
The 21st century, people seem to still dreams of "Babel": 508 meters high, Taipei 101, the first advantage of the world's just been a breakthrough in Dubai, Saudi Arabia plans to build about 1,000 meters tall Kingdom Tower will be completed in 2020 "Burj Dubai" and from the completion of the first location to be threatened.
Even if the economic downturn has not affected the construction of skyscrapers. Empire State Building completed in 1931, the United States has been struggling in the Great Depression; Kuala Lumpur, "Twin Towers" When completed in 1998, Malaysia is still in the shadow of the Asian financial crisis. Dubai people, "tower" seems to have more confidence, although Dubai's debt crisis has many people worried.
