    You forgot to mention the dreaded Airports Authority of India. They impose strict height restrictions across many cities like in Mumbai and Gandhinagar. Mumbai had many skyscrapers above 300m underconstruction (around 15-20) but the AAI stalled these projects and the skyscrapers ended up being only around 220-280m like the World One Tower which was initially meant to be 410m. Conversely, Hyderabad is a city with currently no FSI restrictions and so many skyscrapers (around 200m) are currently underconstruction. Delhi and Bengaluru still have extremely strict FSI though. Dont be under the impression that no skyscrapers are being built in India though. Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad and to a lesser extent Kolkata, are all having skyscraper construction booms

    something you forgot to mention was that Mumbai's Municipal Corporation gives concessions to builders on the FSI limit if the builder does something for them in return say for example the builder provides public parking in the complex the Municipality would allow the builder to build higher.
    Another thing is that Mumbai's airport is smack in the middle of the city even if builders wanted to build higher they cant because the Airport Authority interferes and lowers the heights of buildings. for eg. they stopped the contruction of a 320m building called palais royale and made them reduce floors similarly they did not give clearance to another builder who wanted to build a 400m residential tower (the same tower now stands at 290m)

    About Mumbai, you're right - but only partially. FSI in Mumbai is very closely tied to FSI premiums and TDR (transferable development rights), which are just different ways to buy additional FSI. Through premiums, builders can simply buy extra FSI from the gov, and through TDR, builders can undertake social development, like give up some reserved land for a public service or build cheap housing for slum dwellers, to get more FSI that they can use in another project. So tldr, base FSI is not final FSI. This does, however, increase the cost of high FSI which leads to more expensive/large housing built in tall buildings, defeating the goal of more/affordable housing.

      She misses out one part. The state of Maharashtra actually does not want growth in Mumbai. Reason being the higher you earn, you find Mumbai too shitty and just take your wealth and leave. This results in potential businesses moving to other states, especially neighboring Gujarat. In fact, there have been several methods to deindustrialize Mumbai. One has been to penalize industries which try to setup offices inside Mumbai. This has sort of led offices to move to Navi/New Mumbai. However, this has not been enough and Maharashtra has been promoting industries in Pune etc to decouple the dependency on Mumbai.

    Brazil has somewhat similar restrictions. We don't face infrastructure shortages like India, but we do have restrictions on height and FSI. For instance, Greater Rio de Janeiro has around 13 million people, but very few buildings with more than 30 stories. Even on plots of land around suburban trains, subway lines or major highways, we have restricted building codes. This forces people outwards and to the slums.

      It also goes off in the summer on several Saturdays when they have scheduled maintenance of wires.
      It also goes off in the monsoon when there are heavy rains, and sometimes it takes 8-10 hrs for them to fix it when there are heavy thunderstorms. The biggest problem in India is that we don't have underground cables, so any fluctuation in the weather causes power shut down!!

    Instead Indian cities invest huge number of money on building metrorail and suburban rail because that's the most demanded infrastructure in Indian cities and not showpiece skyscrapers.
    For example cities like Jakarta or
    Ho chi min have far more skyscrapers than Delhi. But delhi has a far far far bigger metro rail system than those cities.(close to 400 kms). Indian authorities are currently mostly focusing on rapid transit networks in our cities and their focus on skyscrapers is almost nil.

    Btw, in Jakarta the FSI for residential zone averaged at only 1.2 before this year lol, with 89% of its land zoned for FSI of 0-2. In fact, I'd argue that Jakarta metro area is more sprawling than any Indian city metro area. The only reason why Jakarta built several relatively tall highrises is because big developers are able to pay the FSI compensation (there's no limit as long as you have the money!) to maximize their parcels. Spaced apart skyscrapers with huge parking lots alongside single family homes are common sights in Jakarta. Not really a great use of land, I'd say. I prefer the European way of building mostly midrises but evenly spreading it across the city instead of clustering high rises only in downtown.
    That said, a recent regulation change has raised the average designated FSI for residential zone throughout the city to 3.6, with areas near transit stops drastically raised to the FSI of 7 (within ~1 mile radius) and 11 (within a half mile radius). This allows smaller developers to build mid to high rises without having to pay lots of money for FSI compensation.

      @Zaydan Naufal All great points, especially about the archaic land law and public housing. Honestly major land law reform should have been done years ago lol.
      Now that I think about it, Yogyakarta is similar to Bali in that the heights of urban buildings there are roughly the same throughout the metro area but it's mostly low density. IMO Sumatran cities are the closest you could have to Europan cities in terms of building forms (not necessarily the function tho). I feel like Medan with its shophouses-lined downtown and grid street pattern has the potential to be more walkable than say, Surabaya where the skyscrapers are clustered in random areas and are built next to low density landed houses. Even smaller cities like Selatpanjang has a pretty dense downtown lined with shophouses. Definitely more walkable than a suburb development with the same population in Jabodetabek.
      Re: parking lots, it's definitely not in the level of North America but Jakarta CBD still has more than I'd expected for a downtown tbh (even when compared to more walkable American downtowns). I lived in Portland, OR and Boston, MA for several years and there are essentially no surface parking in their downtowns except curb parking along narrow streets. It's definitely not the case in Jakarta CBD, where surface parking lot (illegal or not) still exist. Parking scarcity is a good thing, because it will deter people from actually driving into the downtown and causing traffic jam. Of course, this will only work if there are viable alternatives to driving or more affordable housing in or near the downtown.

    Skyscrapers are NOT symbol of development look at European countries.
    FSI restrictions limits the illegal conversion of farmland into residential land . If the piece of land has FSI restrictions then it is approved by authorities and safe to buy .
    Skyscrapers are only for rich while low rise building accommodates all classes.
    Even with the low FSI mumbai still has 200,000 + unsold inventory of apartment units. Middle classes simply cannot afford them .
    Also majority of wealth of indians is in the form of independent land and house so limited FSI restrictions can benefit them as it increases the land prices.
    I live in small city of population below 100,000 and here you can build upto 3 times of Land and I think that's more than enough.

    Bangalore has my favorite Indian skyline. It doesn't have many skyscrapers. Most of it's buildings are in the range of 100 to 130 metres in height. But unlike Mumbai, most aren't residential. Most are commercial, leading to glass buildings, giving a better image. Overall, a small but pretty skyline.

In India like country where middle class and lower population are the majority ones, there building skyscrapers are unaffordable ones. Only if skyscrapers can be made affordable for Indian general population then only it makes sense to build those.

    If Mumbai is concerned about the increase of population density they could restrict the number of dwellings in a plot, rather than floor area. Restricting floor area just means cramming as many houses as possible in a small space. But restricting dwellings means you get bigger dwellings that are more expensive to buy. Not saying ethically that's the ideal, but it would allow development without adding strain to the infrastructure network.

      the high rise is coslty to maintain, it is bad for children who have no ability to go out and play, mothers can not look out for their kids from windows, the anonymous neighbours do not help, there is no community sense, crimes will not be reported, not even a police will be called etc.

    Building higher will not necessarily solve the housing crisis. Look at New York, for example; home to hundreds of skyscrapers and still the average working class can only dream of renting a home in Manhattan. In India, building higher will only strain the existing resources and infrastructure. The high wind speeds on the higher floors mean that the windows cannot be kept open. So to beat the heat an air conditioner is required. Then where a smaller building will probably have 20-25 houses, a taller one will have 75-100 houses on the same plot of land. So, more peak-hour traffic, more water and electricity drawn, and more sewage discharged per unit area. This would require massive infrastructural upgrades. Though most big buildings have a sewage treatment plant and a dedicated transformer for electricity, they go for their own ground water supply for residents and the massive useless lawns and ornamental plants. Due to this groundwater levels have greatly receded and there are many big apartment complexes, especially in Bangalore, that rely on external water supply through tankers, year-round. Skyscrapers are not a symbol of development but an environmental disaster.

Also in case of New York, imagine the extent of the housing crisis if there were less overall floor space or if the number of skycrapers were in double digits. My point is building higher would not necessarily "solve" the housing crisis but it would definitely make a positive impact. However I do agree with your other points related to overall congestion in the city.

      ​@@cheshirsterEurope's population density only exists because how of how old their cities are. When people designed Paris, it wasn't with two lane roads for cars in mind. So the city is chock full of narrow one ways, hence the ratio of built up area to road area is very high. But when people do urban planning now, nobody's gonna create a city made purely of narrow one ways. And if you take the Paris model and lay it over a city with post-car road design, the density will decrease substantially.

      You seem to be from the other side of the political spectrum. If pretend to be asleep I cannot help it. Infrastructure jitna 8 years mein bana utna tumhara Kongress 80 years mein nahin bana sakta. Even basic infra, like toilets and drinking water. Just open your eyes and see the kind of drinking water projects that are going on, roads, etc. Do not trash it. It was a good move. That tallest statue has built a whole tourist ecosystem around it. Just go to Gujarat and see how many people are directly or indirectly employed by it and will continue do so for many many decades. But from a narrow mindset you wont be able to see that.

    While the bureaucratic restrictions should be called out, reviewed and challenged, there is enough compelling evidence to suggest that skyscrapers don’t nearly offer the value as they are purported to do. Where they offer more density, they take away community, change access to sunlight, require significantly more material to construct, and entirely alter the spaces in between them. So if pure density from a housing standpoint is the outcome, yes they’re great. But what low-rise cities offer in community onground outweighs densely packed towers.

      We can take urban planning lessons from cities like Barcelona and Paris. Their recent shifts in thinking about cities, roads and how a community should function are moving more towards cleaner, greener cities with less cars while maintaining a limit on the height of buildings.

And at current pace, it will dethrone Dubai and New York to get the third highest number of skyscrapers in the world within next 5-6 years. Open the fcuking Wikipedia instead of watching these nonsense videos from liars.

    They do actually.
    I visited Chennai this year and saw the first skyscraper in India, it was built in the 50s. IBM or Siemens something like that from memory, it was about 20 floors or so.
    Lot of the hotels are sky scrapers or multi-level, but yes, there are not heaps of skyscrapers. It's mostly sprawling urban/concrete. It means that on a good day, from the top floor of those buildings, you get a pretty damn good view as far as atmosphere allows.

    As living in Bangalore from a decade, skyscrapers will only make people for uncomfortable and put huge pressure on infrastructure.
    It has already been developing outskirts with job opportunities. More people can afford beautiful, lot spacious and secure homes this way. I personally never felt like going to main Bangalore city, as there is no need. If there were skyscrapers with offices, it would be very bad for city and its people.
    Government should instead spread these job opportunities to other second tier cities instead, reduce number of floors further if have to.
