This issue comes up a lot in the DC area. People say the character would be the same if the buildings were 20-30 stories rather than 10-12. People also say there is too much historic preservation of crappy buildings that could at least be turned into 10-12 story buildings. However, there are a lot of issues that come with increasing density... pollution, noise, street parking. It's a huge undertaking. It seems like the better thing is to just build more large nearby cities that compete with the inner city. This is essentially what is happening in NOVA where there are lots of mini-cities within 40 minutes of DC.
