Several key technologies facilitated the construction of skyscrapers, including the development of steel frame construction, which allowed buildings to rise higher without compromising stability. The invention of the elevator made it practical to access upper floors, significantly increasing a building's usable space. Additionally, advances in reinforced concrete and glass production provided architects with the materials needed for both strength and aesthetic appeal. Together, these innovations transformed urban landscapes and enabled the iconic skyline we see today.
