Wrap Up
The trend of tall buildings in India is fairly recent, as compared with the US and China. In these two countries, skyscrapers were constructed mainly in the business districts.
This was because property prices in New York, Shanghai and Shenzhen are very high while land for construction is scarce.
Hence, skyscrapers provide an excellent solution- they require smaller plots but can have long heights. India’s tallest buildings are however purely residential.
