Study links skyscrapers to financial crashes

emergentfutures:

Interesting correlation! I immediately think of the magnificient head office buildings successful companies tend to build preceeding their downturns. I doubt skyscrapers can be used as tools for predicting financial crashes but they might signs of a situation and a way of looking at prioritizations that might be worth looking into if we want to understand financial crashes.
