I think that Europeans building codes usually don't allow to build a dense cluster.

Even where a wide area close to city centre or where there's an high market demand is completely renewed, it is not permitted to construct dense as Lower Manhattan or Hong Kong.

There are 2 things which don't make Rotterdam's skyline better than Warsaw's one :

First, Rotterdam needs 2 or 3 bigger skyscrapers than 150meters (and maybe it will be the case soon)

Second, Rotterdam has elegant, boxy skyscrapers, but no one is symbolic or has a big charisma. (But we need in Warsaw also skyscrapers like yours, very simple and elegant)

In Warsaw, you have a historical Skyscraper which is more than 50 years old, inspired by the New-York architecture, that no one European city will never have (don't tell me about skyscrapers from the 30's which are 70m tall).
And you have the Daniel Liebeskind project, Zlota 44(192 m), which is an unique shape building, very symbolical and controversial.

It is not really inspired by New York's architecture, but by the "Seven Sisters" of Moscow. And you would call that architecture style "Stalinist".
That being said, Mocow is another city in Europe, that features such architecture and even seven examples of that type of skyscrapers.

Yeah but I don't talk about Moscow, which has a better skyline than Warsaw, I talk about Rotterdam.

and search more about the "Stalinist" architecture and you will understand that it's inspired a lot by the New-york architecture. Just compare the Empire state with Seven Sisters.

In my opinion best skylines in Europe (excluding Russia and Turkey) are:

1. London: very diverese, tall buildings, several clusters, pretty futuristic
2. Paris: good height, very dense, interesting designs as well but height and designs could improve.
3. Frankfurt: very dense, tall buildings but kinda lacks diversity and new projects.
4. Rotterdam: very diverse, good location, not very high, good designs and quality
5. Milan: improved a lot, in few years probably top 3, great design, good height, skyline is booming
6. Warsaw: skyline is booming as well but needs more diversity and good quality projects, height is good
7. Madrid: what they have is very good, if they continue developing it will become top 3 for sure.
