Why is Italy, as a developed country, full of "small bungalows"?

People usually use high buildings to evaluate the degree of development of a city, so as a developed city, why Italy as a country in many places are bungalows.

European countries have always paid attention to the appearance of ancient cities, so there are many cultural heritage in many European cities, such as some not too high building, the government is not willing to remove it. Although Rome, Italy is a big city, but you should find that whether in the center of the city or some small towns, still retains the ancient architecture.

And the Italian law also explicitly states that in many parts of the city, buildings cannot be modified at will, and must be maintained in the historical style, which is a reflection of the local people's special attention to culture. Of course, Italy is not without high-rise buildings, but they are not as dense as in our country. The emergence of high-rise buildings has also brought a lot of trouble to Italians, such as the environment has become closed, the traffic has become chaotic. And living in high buildings makes people feel depressed, plus the place is relatively vast while the people are sparse.

So for Italians, a home with a bungalow as well as a lawn is what they want to live in. There are many small cities in Italy with small populations that are perfect for either work or living, and such cities are actually less suitable for tall buildings. It's for all these reasons that when you walk through the streets of Italy, you don't feel like you're in a modern city, but rather like you're traveling back to the Renaissance.

Personally, I think it's great to have such a cultural tradition, and while the country is building up, it's important to preserve some of that tradition.
