In my TL I have a intense USA-UK rivalry (not quite Cold War level) and some hostility from the 1900's to maybe the 40s and 50s. After thinking of ways for them to 'challenge' each other and compete I thought of maybe building tall buildings. Both are rich industrious nations with lots of urban space. At the time tall buildings were a sign of economic prosperity and industrial might. But after doing some research...
Britain has very few tall buildings and nearly no skyscrapers! At no point in the 1900s did Britain have any buildings anywhere near the top three. Why was this? Is it ASB to have Britain get caught into a 'tall race' with the Americans? Do British people have something against tall buildings?
