Why is the Mile High Stadium in Colorado when most of the world's tallest buildings are in New York City?
First of all, most of the world's tallest buildings are not in New York. The Empire State Building held the record for World's Tallest Building from the time of its completion in 1931, until it was surpassed by World Trade Center 1 (the North Tower) in 1972.The World Trade Center lost the title for World's Tallest Building in 1973, when it was surpassed by Sears Tower (aka Willis Tower) in Chicago. New York has not been home to the World's Tallest Building since. And ever since the World Trade Towers were knocked down, none of the buildings in New York City are anywhere near record-breaking.Secondly, even if New York City were still home to the world's tallest buildings, it would not preclude other very tall buildings from being built elsewhere. You seem to be suggesting that every very tall building should be built in New York, just because there are already a lot of very tall buildings in New York. There is no logic to that suggestion whatsoever. It's completely arbitrary. You might as well say that ice cream should not be sold in the Southern U.S. states because it doesn't get cold in the winter in those states. The two things are completely unrelated.AnswerNew York is at sea level, or relatively close to it. Denver is at a much higher elevation. (Colorado's got the Rocky Mountains. New York City doesn't.) The "Mile High" refers to elevation, not height.

What cities have skyscapers?
There is no universally-agreed definition of 'skyscraper', leading to an immeasurable number of cities claiming to have buildings that scrape the sky. The tallest skyscraper is in Dubai, some of the most famous are/were in New York City, and the city with the most skyscrapers is Hong Kong. Wikipedia's article on cities with the most skyscrapers ranks hundreds of cities by number of buildings over 100 m. While Hong Kong, New York and Tokyo have over 500, the lowest-ranked (2 buildings) range from the likes of Italy's great capital Rome, to the less-well-known Kochi, West India, and Tilburg, Central Netherlands. So, in conclusion, a lot of cities have skyscrapers.
