> you can't replace every construction with a high rise building without destroying the city. Think of Paris or London.

There's a living example of that: Stockholm. They destroyed the center of the city in the 50s-60s and replaced it with high-rise buildings and a highway [1] [2]

They botched it so badly that you can't even properly see the city hall the way its architect intended.
