A good example of where geographers and architects might combine?

Normally this kind of density is reserved for bad hotel developments here in Ireland. Which american firms of architects designed and had fine tuned down to the very last quarter of an inch. A quarter of an inch over size = less profit in other words.

But why do cities like paris, berlin, barcelona, amsterdam, london, helsinki etc manage these densities and we never can?
