Throughout the history of architecture, there has been a continual quest for height. Thousands of workers toiled on the pyramids of ancient Egypt, the cathedrals of Europe and countless other towers, all striving to create something awe-inspiring. People build skyscrapers primarily because they are convenient -- you can create a lot of real estate out of a relatively small ground area.
The driving force behind skyscrapers is building materials, primarily concrete and steel. This and the engineering of these structures, which had to develop with their conception, is what made them possible.

Which came first elevators or skyscrapers?
The answer must include that before skyscrapers, men built what at the time were considered "very tall" buildings between 4 and 10 floors high. They put elevators into these smaller "very tall" buildings. When skyscrapers came later, the concept of elevators simply went along with the concept of extremely tall buildings that tried to reach the sky. So, technically, elevators came before skyscrapers, in numerous small and large towns with what was then "very tall" buildings that were only a fraction of the size of skyscrapers.
