Crumbling façades, asbestos, and outdated elevators are often cited as reasons to tear down tall buildings and create new skyscrapers. However, renovating a tall building is often a better option than demolition and reconstruction. This paper examines the reasons for the demolition of tall buildings in the United States, Canada, and Europe and makes recommendations for alternative approaches.
