European cities devoid of skyscrappers

Why do European cities tend to be devoid of skyscrapers while Asian cities are dense with them? I expected Paris and Berlin to look like NYC or HongKong since they are the biggest cities in Europe but once I actually went there, I found they couldn't be more different from what I'd expected.. Why is that?

Paris and Berlin are old cities, NYC and HK are young cities

They have skyscrapers but they keep them away form the rest of the city to preserve the aesthetic of them

Regulations

Because unlike soulless mutts and overpopulated chinks, other people care about aesthetics, traditions and free space

London has gone from no skyline to american city tier in a decade

First skyscraper in Europe

the building served as location for the German Imperial Secret Service during world war I. The building of the British secret service MI6 at the Maasboulevard is bombed unfortunately.

Looks nice.

Is that a massive phallus on the background? Who the hell designed this?

It used to look taller

Europeans are lazy criminals that only know how to steal from poorer countries like Sudan and Korea.

I just don't get why they build the "German secret police" in your country.

What are those 2 tall towers?

In Paris you can't build skscrappers in the centre not to ruin the architecture. It's the same in most euro cities.

Also don't be fooled, Paris is actually twice as dense as Tokyo, roughly as dense as Shanghai and Seoul. That's why it's such a shithole.

shorter one is a fire watch-tower
taller one is mystery

the Netherlands was neutral during WWI, unlike Belgium, UK, France and Germany, so secret services of all those countries had offices in Rotterdam to spy each other (due its strategic location)

I did not know that.
