New inventions such as the steel frame, elevators, and improved construction techniques revolutionized building design and capabilities. The steel frame allowed structures to support greater heights without compromising stability, while elevators made it practical to navigate tall buildings efficiently. Additionally, advancements in materials like reinforced concrete further enhanced the structural integrity of skyscrapers. Together, these innovations enabled architects to push the limits of vertical construction, leading to the iconic skyline features we see today.

A skyscraper is a tall, continuously habitable building of many stories, usually designed for office and commercial use (usually having a steel framework from which curtain walls are suspended, rather than load-bearing walls of conventional construction). Thus, yes "skyscrapers" would normally be the tallest constructions in a city.However, in a city where there is no high rise, modern construction, the tallest building would not be called a skyscraper.
There are several good websites on skyscrapers and proposed skyscrapers. I don't know the names off hand but if you type "proposed skyscrapers or future skyscrapers" and or just "skyscrapers" in google or yahoo's search engine, you should be able to find what you're looking for. I've seen plenty of info on some of the bigger skyscraper websites with info on buildings not yet built or even under construction. If that doesn't work try " future or proposed NYC skyscrapers".
The tallest building is skyscrapers in the U.S.
