because we have old town centers and skyscrapers wouldnt fit in and look stupid. We have skyscrapers in Europe but they have a bad reputation because they were built as commie blocks in eastern Europe, they are grey and look brutal.
But skyscrapers can look pretty cool with the right paintjob and setting. Like in Brazil Curitiba those skyscrapers look nice, with palms in front and the sun is shining. But in most parts of Europe skyscrapers simply dont fit into the landscape , it would look stupid and abnormal

It's like Gazprom built its own skyscraper in some village near the borders of Saint-Petersburg.

1) Regulations and preservation of the old cities
2) High density urban housing still exists but they just aren't as tall
3) they mainly look like shit
4) they are often partly empty and unused

My general impression is that people really don't like skyscrapers here. Personally I find them cool. We almost got one but it is 5 meters short of what is generally accepted as a skyscraper. You can see it in the very beginning of this video:
