Residential buildings in my country are very short but are too many and make up an entire village. Why not save precious space, foundation materials and costs by building a much taller residential skyscraper?

Building taller involved tradeoffs and various considerations. In many places elevators aren’t required if you have few floors so taller building would require an elevator. What about parking? You have to provide more but you have less space so maybe an underground garage which adds difficulty. Water drainage if you are building underground is an issue. So is pumping water to the upper floors. There are many things to consider.
