Thank you for the correction. IMO, in fact, very tall buildings (like 80 storeys up) aren't necessarily the defining factor in how a major city makes its most pertinent, dramatic statement.
Harmony among building design on blocks and streets, pedestrian realm, and overall elegance and interest win out. I think Vancouver is starting to present a rather sleek, chic CBD cityscape.
Without 80 storey buildings.
