There is a practical limit to the height of skyscrapers; how quickly and efficiently can you move people from the ground floor to their destination? The higher the building, the more elevator shafts you need at the core, and at some point you have more space taken up on each floor with elevator shafts than usable area.

I sure hope the test tower being built in Germany for 2016 will be open to the public!
