In some cities the usable land is very scare, build higher could maximize the land use rate- First, Dubai seemingly has massive land to build the buildings, but actually usable land is rare, the inland desert is too hot for living, they have to build the building in waterfront spaces and building taller to maximize the space. For this they also build many canals. This is also the reason that Palm islands and the World islands are being developed. They do this for increasing the usable land. Additionally tall buildings should be built before the low-rise buildings, by this way can avoiding the troubles and obstructions come from the NIMBYs in the future.
Earth quake actually don't affect the security of skyscrapers- The earthquakes in Japan and some other regions actually don’t affect the security of tall buildings, high-rise buildings have been proved to be safer than the low-rise buildings, those buildings collapsed in earthquakes are all low-rise buildings, we never heard a hundreds meters tall building collapsed because of earthquake, with current technology, an 1-kilometer tall hyper-tall tower can resist an earthquake of 9 on Richter scale, in technique earthquakes don’t restrict the height of a building at all.

Maybe this is why today many star architect is designing skyscrapers more than the traditional buildings.
