A skyscraper is generally defined as any building that is more than 150 metres (492 ft) tall and has more than 40 storeys. [1] [2] The following is a list of countries with the most skyscrapers. Other structures like observation towers or lattice towers are excluded on this list.
One review of tall buildings suggests that residential towers may have 3.1 m (10 ft 2 in) floor height for apartments, while a commercial building may have floor height of 3.9 m (12 ft 9.5 in) for the storeys leased to tenants. In such tall buildings (60 or more storeys), there may be utility floors of greater height. [7]
In contrast, the Chrysler Building employed a very large 38.1 m (125 ft) spire secretly assembled inside the building to claim the title of world's tallest building with a total height of 318.9 m (1,046 ft), although it had a lower top occupied floor and a shorter height when both buildings' spires were excluded.
The list of cities with most skyscrapers ranks cities around the world by their number of skyscrapers. A skyscraper is defined as a continuously habitable high-rise building that has over 40 floors [1] and is taller than approximately 150 m (492 ft). [2] Historically, the term first referred to buildings with 10 to 20 floors in the 1880s.
The 1,450-foot-tall (440 m) building would contain 109 stories as measured from Wacker Drive and 110 stories as measured from Franklin Street. [16] [26] This would make Sears's new tower the tallest in the world, as measured by roof height, although New York City's under-construction World Trade Center Twin Towers would have a taller antenna.

This is a list of buildings and other structures that have been envisioned. The X-Seed 4000 is one of the tallest structures ever conceived. Shown in this image is the Burj Khalifa (828 m (2,717 ft)), tallest structure in the world at the time of completion in 2010 to this year (2025), and the X-Seed 4000 project (4,000 m (13,000 ft)).
Seven countries, an ocean and over a thousand miles stand between them and their dreams for a future.
