I've always been fascinated with Tall Buildings

Growing up in Tasmania, surrounded by nature but with few tall structures, sparked a curiosity that led me to awe at cityscapes whenever I traveled. These days, I make it a point to visit the tallest building in any city I travel to.

Curious as to where the tallest buildings are in the World, I created this short analysis. I was very suprised to see that 5 out of the top 10 tallest buildings were in China and only 1 was in the United States.

Please hover or click the bars to see the city and year built.





The Top 10 Tallest Buildings are Outliers

The top 10 tallest buildings (shown in black below) stand out when compared to the next 85 tallest buildings (data from Wikipedia). Found Here.





On a Personal note...

Sadly, I've only been to 1 of the top 10 Buildings in the World which is number 9 on the list: Guangzhou CTF.

Although, after this analysis, it appears that if I want to get a lot of 'bang for my buck' I should visit China again to see some of the tallest buildings in the World!
