Skyscrapers only make economic sense when land costs are high. The rise of the automobile in the post war years reduced the value of being in the urban core by making transportation easier. Between the depression and the war, the number of automobiles in this country was pretty much static between 1929 and 1945, with a little over 23 million in 1929 and a little under 26 million in 1945. By 1955 there were over 52 million on the road and by 1965 there were over 75 million.
Call it sprawl if you will, but the ease of transportation made skyscrapers less attractive.
