Its not common place world wide purely due to economics and tastes. Modernism is whats in fashion today and aside from that most real estate projects are about spending the least money while making the most return. Once classical buildings come back in fashion they will be built in mass again. There are some architects today who specialize in building classical buildings, but its still not back “in” yet. Here is a great example robert stern who does most classical style buildings in the us and actually designed the building of this thread.These seem like exceptions to the rule — hardly commonplace. Is it not true that methods used in the past to build are no longer feasible and possibly even allowed?

In europe where it was important to rebuild a lot of what was lost after ww2 there are thousands and thousands and like I said entire cities that were rebuilt after ww2. Go look at budapest on google earth, most of the classical buildings you see were rebuilt after being destroyed in ww2. Historic downtown dresden was recently rebuilt and is still under construction, historic potsdam is being rebuilt, old warsaw was rebuilt, in my new build classical buildings thread downtown bath england that was gutted by brutalism has been rebuilt in a classical style, gdansk was rebuilt post ww2, notre dame was gutted by fire and is being restored right now, in spain the la sagrada famalia church has been under construction since the 1800s and is still under construction…. And on and on and on. Theres so much if you know where to look or what youre looking at.
Here are some resources for you. Here is the european reconstruction thread on skyscrapercity where you can find all of the different reconstructions going on now.

And heres the thread for non historical reconstructions where its just new classical style buildings being built around the world. Even though this style is not as common its still 834 pages long.
