Skyscrapers are hard to build and cost a lot when building it. People think it's not worthy to build super-high skyscrapers because of both economic and physical problems. But in my own opinion, building skyscrapers is the best solution for the fast growing population in the whole world.
The fast growing population is one of the most serious problems in the world now. Will there be enough space for mankind to live in the future? Architects find a good way to solve the mass growing population problem by building super-high skyscrapers. Building these tall buildings can let more people live and work in it. Try to think of a 6 storeys building and a 150 storeys one. Which one is better? The 150 storeys building can hold a lot more people than the 6 storeys one. For example in New York City downtowm, factors like lands are expensive, the growth of business. In order to earn more money and develop the economy, tall buildings have to be build for earning back the profits.
With the fast developing technique. Engineers are using high-techs to build these skyscrapers. Special kinds of shapes are designed in order to withstand the great turbulence of earthquake and strong wind. New materials are used. However, because building a skyscraper is an enormously complex project, the materials used in building a skyscraper has to be supported by all over the world. The usage of materials will cause a disruption to global supply. But the result is optimistic. Using one of the sentences Louis Sullivan wrote in 1896, "The building is one of the most stupendous, one of the most magnificent opportunities that the Lord of Nature in his beneficence has ever offered to the proud spirit of men." Skyscrapers are the pride of man-made structures.
Building super-high skyscrapers might be the best solution for our future life. Although more need to be done, building more skyscrapers seem to be the tendency in the whole world. Our achievements are only limited by our own imagination. The things impossible today, will be reality tomorrow.

I really think it is the best solution to solve the fast growing population problems by building some skyscrapers .However, there are still some problems cannot be solved well in that kind of building ,so i think we should not build too much skyscraers,just some it is OK.
