Those buildings are at least approximately to scale as those 828 meters fit in the top 4611 meters roughly 5 times. If you made them half as tall it would be all wrong.

But you’re only seeing half the mountain.

So? That's still obviously accounted for in the scale of the buildings. The buildings are roughly 1/10 of the whole mountain but since only half of the mountain is in frame they are 1/5 of what is in view. It's correct.

Except the bottom half of the mountain isn’t in the picture.
