A comment on Prague from the TV Tower - 18 Gigapixel Panoramic Photo.

The buildings are of remarkably uniform height. My guess is either limitation of building material at the time of greatest construction, or zoning ("cannot be higher than the church").

Even the modern buildings are mostly low.

At the same time each building is different in style, something that many US cities lack.

Yes, I was rather startled by the housing-development-writ-large look of much of the view, as I'd only seen pictures of older Prague architecture before.
