Its not about the hight of the building its about the shape of the building. The building should be a triangle shape with a wide base and a narrow point; to help with stand a earthquake there is normally a tank of water at the top because if the building starts shaking the water would go in the oposite direction of where the building goes. Also at the bottom there should be large springs to allow the building to sway a little because if it is firm and still presure will build up and the building will collapse

What engineering techniques have been used to ensure that buildings and other large structures remain stable in the event of an earthquake?
Prediction-trying to forecast when an earthquake is going to happen Protection-constructing buildings so that they are safe , to an appropriate standard did using designs to withstand movements
What are the problems faced by people in trying to reduce earthquakes?
There is no way to reduce an earthquake, however you can reduce the damage an earhquake causes by constructing buildings to withstand earthquakes.
What can people who live in earthquake zones do to protect themselves?
Buildings in earthquake zones are typically constructed to withstand earthquakes. Keeping an emergency supply of food, flashlight, radios, and medical supplies is also another safety practice.

Can you design a city to better withstand an earthquake?
no, it can't happen because brick can't withstand a 1.0-8.0+ earthquake
