This month’s opening of Dubai’s new superstructure, the Burj Khalifa building, has simply continued a trend that has been happening for almost 100 years. The United States was at the forefront of the race for the skies, but the rest of the world has started to catch up, and surpass, the U.S. when it comes to making bigger and better buildings.
The U.S. may have some of the most famous skyscrapers, but places like Dubai, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Kuala Lumpur have the biggest. However, of the 200 tallest buildings in the world, 52 of them stand tall across the U.S., most in New York City. In the U.S., China or Hong Kong, you can find more than 50 percent of these massive skyscrapers.
The U.S. came out of the gate early, erecting one of the world’s oldest skyscrapers, the Woolworth Building, in 1913, and the world hasn’t looked back. Below, you’ll find a recap of 45 of the world’s tallest structures.
