Shameful? An exaggeration?
In any case, I don't. We've never had the World's Tallest Skyscraper title, yet we're still considered amongst
THE 3 Skyscraper cities (most would argue we're #1). Since the 90's though we've always had buildigns in the top 10 - momentarily we're out of the top 5, but with the completion of the ICC should be back up there.
So why start now? The only reason we'd have to do so is if we have an inferiority complex going over Dubai, which I just can't see happening.
Leave such miniscule details to Dubai, and we'll continue having the world's best skyline regardless of whether or not we have the "WTB" title.
Besides, it's done Taipei and Kuala Lumpur a fat load of good hasn't it ... ?
