Many New Skyscrapers Planned

"If all goes to plan, "Parkhaven" in Rotterdam should be Europe's tallest building when it opens in about four years time. It is unlikely to remain so for long. "It will only be (the tallest) for a few months," said Kevin Flanagan, senior associate partner at Kohn Pedersen Fox, the building's architects, surveying other skyscraper plans on the continent... "The current economic crisis in the world is probably doing more to prevent (skyscrapers) than the aftermath of September 11," said Helmut Jahn, a German-born architect based in Chicago whose current projects include a 160 metre (525 feet) high headquarters for Deutsche Post in Bonn that should be finished in September."
