Big cities, big dreams. Some of the top cities in the world are recognized by their skyline of skyscrapers. Sources claim that a building has to reach at least 490 feet (150 meters) to be considered a skyscraper. If the sky’s the limit, these are the cities hoping to reach it.
China
As the hub of most businesses in Asia, it makes sense that China would be filled with high-rise buildings. At last count, there were a whopping 3,090 skyscrapers in the country (many of which are in Hong Kong), placing China in first position.
United States
You just have to look at New York City to get a sense of how many skyscrapers can be found in the United States. The Manhattan skyline is probably best known, but there are actually 880 of these spread throughout the county.
United Arab Emirates
The United Arab Emirates is home to the tallest building in the world. But while the Burj Khalifa stands high at 2,727 feet, it is not the only skyscraper in Dubai, let alone the UAE. 325 buildings of its kind can be found in the Middle Eastern country which is making a name for itself as a business hub.
