Even the ancient Egyptians, using the pyramids as an example, showed the world that the impressive height of the building demonstrates the strength and power of the country, the level of its development. A lot of time has passed since then, but still the countries in which the highest skyscrapers on the planet are built attract attention. So the USA is famous the largest number skyscrapers built in the country, and the United Arab Emirates is known as the state in which the largest skyscraper in the world was built.

Burj Khalifa - the tallest skyscraper in the world

The bold project of the tallest building in the world belongs to the American architect Adrian Smith. In his plans, the skyscraper was a real city located inside the city, which will not only have premises, but also beautiful gardens, parks with magnificent flower beds.

The project, developed by Adrian Smith, was approved, and in 2004 the construction of a skyscraper started. Throughout the construction of the tower, its intended height was kept a closely guarded secret. The investors wanted the building to be the tallest on the planet. At their request, the project had to be amended if a skyscraper competing in height was built somewhere.


The construction of the Burj Khalifa lasted more than 5 years. To make the design safe, the engineers had to solve unusually difficult tasks. The skyscraper had to easily endure the strong gusts of wind and high temperatures of this region. But thanks to the talent of engineers and architects, these problems were solved, and in 2010, after the completion of construction, the grand opening of the tower took place.

The Burj Khalifa skyscraper impresses with its features:

  • its height is 828 m;
  • the tower has 163 floors, not counting the basement levels and technical areas located in the spire;
  • the skyscraper is supported by 200 piles, the diameter of which is 1.5 m and the length is 45 m;
  • the weight of the building is about 500,000 tons.

In the skyscraper, communication between floors is provided by 57 high-speed elevators. To get from the first floor to the last, you will have to make transfers, or you can use the service elevator, the speed of which is much lower.

A tower rises above the Chinese city of Shanghai, the height of which is 632 m. This is the second tallest skyscraper on the planet. The construction of the giant began in 2008, and in 2013 the last work was completed. The skyscraper has 130 floors that house offices.


Among the skyscrapers leading in height are the towers of Abraj al-Beit. The main one - the Royal Tower - rises above the surface at 601 m. This skyscraper has set several records: the construction has the most big weight and it has the largest clock in the world. The dials of the clocks, located on each side of the rectangular tower, are visible from any corner of the city of Mecca (Saudi Arabia). On 120 floors of the skyscraper there are residential premises, a hotel, trade and catering establishments.


Built in New York, the World Trade Center is also one of the tallest skyscrapers in the world. It rises 543.1 meters above lower Manhattan. It was erected on the site of the twin towers destroyed in 2001. The construction of the skyscraper began in 2004, and its official opening took place in 2012. All 120 floors of the complex are occupied by offices.


The Taipei 101 skyscraper was opened in the capital of Taiwan in 2003, which is the fifth tallest such building. This 101-story building rises 509 meters above the surface. The construction of the skyscraper began in 1999 and lasted more than 4 years. Immediately after the construction, the building was tested for strength by an earthquake that happened here. But after inspection of Taipei by experts, no deformations in the structure of the building or destruction were found. The skyscraper is occupied by trade centers and offices.


In 2008, the construction of a skyscraper was completed in Shanghai, which, due to its unusual shape, acquired the name “opener”. The project of such a unique structure was drawn up by American architect David Mallot. Construction began in 1997, but due to financial problems, the construction was delayed for more than 10 years. In addition, over the course of the work, changes were made to the project, which complicated the construction process. Today, a 101-storey skyscraper, 492 m high, is occupied by shopping centers, a hotel, offices, and a museum.


The eighth place among the highest skyscrapers of the planet is occupied by the Petronas Towers. These are 2 high-rise buildings connected by the world's largest air bridge. Skyscrapers have become the property of Malaysia. They are built in the capital of the country - Kuala Lumper. The height of these giant twins is 451.9 m. The area of ​​the towers is used with maximum benefit. In order not to take up too much space for arranging the connection between 88 floors, two-story elevators were installed in the skyscraper. The building is occupied by offices and halls for exhibitions and conferences.


In 2009, Nanjing, one of China's largest megacities, opened the ninth tallest skyscraper in the world - the financial center of Nanjing Greenland. The Zifeng Tower is the business center of Nanjing. Its 89 floors are occupied by offices, trade halls, and entertainment venues. The tower, whose height is 450 m, also has an observatory available to everyone.


The tenth tallest skyscraper in the world is the Willis Tower. The building is located in the American metropolis of Chicago. Its height is 443.1 m. Construction, which started in 1970, was carried out at a record pace, and less than three years later the skyscraper was officially opened. Willis Tower was considered the tallest skyscraper for about 25 years and lost ground in 1998 to the Petronas Towers.


The history of buildings such as the tallest skyscrapers began with the invention of automatic lifts. Back in the late 19th century, the American Henry Otis designed this invention to help create high-rise buildings without height restrictions. AT modern world construction is practiced in any metropolis, and the highest skyscraper located in the city becomes a kind of calling card. In the modern world, when space in the business part of the city is in short supply, the construction of high-rise buildings has become the only possible solution to the problem.

The tallest skyscrapers in the world have long been known and identified. Topping the list is the iconic Khalifa Tower in Dubai, completed in 2010. Height architectural masterpiece is 828 meters, and there are 162 floors in the building.

Second place is rightfully given to the Taipei skyscraper in Taiwan with its 508 meters and 101 floors. in the style of postmodernism, for 6 years it was considered the highest high-rise building, until the Khalifa tower had to be given the palm, but it is still one of the most beautiful office centers, combining the features of Western civilization with traditional Chinese motifs in its architecture.

China's tallest skyscraper, the Shanghai International Financial Center, ranks third in the world. It, like the Taiwanese Teipei, has 101 floors, but the total height is only 492 meters.

The fourth position is occupied by the Malaysian twin towers "Petronas Towers", which, with a height of 452 meters, have 88 floors. These skyscrapers are built using traditional Islamic motifs and have a jumper at the level of 170 meters, called the "Heavenly Bridge", which links the two buildings into a single architectural composition.

The top five is completed by America's tallest skyscraper, the Willis Tower, located in Chicago. In addition to the fact that he takes an honorable fifth place in the list of the tallest buildings, he is also one of the oldest skyscrapers, he was built in 1973. This 110-story building is distinguished by its original architecture - it resembles several parallelepipeds folded together and elongated, and its height reaches 443.2 meters.

Well, what can the countries of Europe boast of? The tallest skyscraper in Europe is the London "Shard", having a height of "modest" 310 meters and 95 floors. This in the form of a giant narrow pyramid with a unique laser illumination caused a lot of controversy in society. The Italian architect Ranzo, who is the developer and author of the idea, was accused of disfiguring the historical face of London. It came to the intervention of UNESCO, but the authorities managed to convince the general public that the skyscraper brings more pluses than minuses.

But the race between countries for the right to have the tallest architectural structure in the world continues. America plans to build a mega-skyscraper in Miami, whose height will be 975 meters, and negotiations are underway in Bahrain to build a 200-story building. But the Japanese turned out to be bolder than all other nations - they plan to build a skyscraper 4 kilometers high!


Opened in 2010, the 828-meter Burj Khalifa in Dubai has become the tallest building on the planet, a symbol of the triumph of engineering genius. But not for long she was destined to be a champion. AT different parts The land is already in full swing preparing for the construction of even more tall and complex skyscrapers, each of which has a height at least a kilometer.

skycity. China

The Sky City Tower, although it will be a little less than a kilometer in height, but this project is likely to be the first to break the Burj Khalifa record with its 828 meters from the base to the top of the spire. The project involves the construction of a stepped 838-meter tower in the Chinese city of Changsha, on 202 floors of which there will be residential apartments, hotels, educational establishments, hospitals, offices, shops.



But it is not so much the record height of Sky City that is interesting, but the incredibly fast pace of construction of this building. The company Broad Sustainable Building, which will build it, is known throughout the world for the fact that in just a few days. So she plans to build this skyscraper in just 90 days plus 120 days of preparing the site for construction.



The construction of this skyscraper was supposed to begin in the summer of 2013, but so far has been delayed. Truth, preparatory work on the site at the site where Sky City will grow, they are gradually moving forward.

Azerbaijan Tower. Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan also wants to build the highest skyscraper in the world. Growing revenues from the sale of oil and gas make it possible to implement very large social and infrastructure projects in this country, for example, the construction of the Khazar Islands artificial archipelago, the high-altitude dominant of which will be a 1050-meter tower.



The construction of the archipelago began a few years ago. Now the first public, residential and office buildings have grown on it, and the construction of the Azerbaijan Tower itself will begin, as expected, in 2015.



The project investors promise to commission the Azerbaijan Tower building in 2019, and to complete the entire artificial archipelago by 2020.

kingdom tower. Saudi Arabia

But still, most of the ultra-tall building projects are planned to be implemented in rich Arab countries. For example, Saudi Arabia is living with the idea of ​​building the tallest building in the world - the Burj Khalifa in the neighboring United Arab Emirates does not give them rest.



The construction of the Kingdom Tower skyscraper began in 2013 in the city of Jeddah. The height of this 167-storey building will be just over 1000 meters. The exact data is still unknown - they will appear only after the commissioning of the facility. Investors are afraid to announce them, fearing that someone will build a structure just a few meters higher and break the record.



The Kingdom Tower will be the centerpiece of the multi-use Kingdom Center, a $20 billion residential, office, hotel, retail and entertainment city.

Madinat al-Hareer. Kuwait

They also want to build a kilometer-long skyscraper in Kuwait. In June 2014, the project for a building called Madinat al-Hareer, which will be 1001 meters high, was finally approved there.



The name "Madinat al-Hareer" translates as "Silk City", which alludes to the glorious history of Kuwait in the days when it was one of the world's centers of silk trade. It was originally planned that this skyscraper would be erected by 2016, but, apparently, this period will be postponed by at least two years.

Dubai City Tower. United Arab Emirates

Dubai looks at the projects listed above with apprehension - in the very near future they can break the high-altitude record of the Burj Dubai skyscraper. But, on the other hand, in this city they don't sit with their hands folded. There, work is in full swing on the creation of a project for the world's first two-kilometer building.



The Eiffel Tower is taken as the basis for the design of Dubai City Tower. But the size of this Arab skyscraper will be seven and a half times larger than the French prototype. The height of the future tower will be 2400 meters.

The 400 floors of the Dubai City Tower skyscraper will be interconnected not only by elevators, but also by a vertical train that can travel at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour and deliver people from the lower floor to the upper one in a matter of seconds.



Investors and authors of the Dubai City Tower skyscraper project expect it to be put into operation in 2025. The construction estimate has not been disclosed.

The tallest skyscrapers in the world

  • Urbanism

In a previous article, we discussed . Unfortunately, now none of the skyscrapers erected in the country is among the ten tallest buildings in the world. Therefore, until the completion of the construction of the Lakhta Center (hello to the commentators of the previous article), we will talk about skyscrapers in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, China, the USA, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

willis tower

The oldest of the ten tallest skyscrapers in the world today was built in 1974 in Chicago. Its height is 442 meters without the spire, with the spire - 527 meters. In the Russian-language Wikipedia, the Willis Tower ranks 11th, but this is somewhat incorrect: the Lakhta Center, which has already been ranked 8th in the ranking, will be completed in 2018.

Just think: in forty years, only nine skyscrapers in the world have surpassed the 108-story Willis Tower in Chicago, and in the United States, only the Freedom Tower, opened in 2014, beat this result.

The skyscraper was designed by the architectural bureau Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, which later erected both the Freedom Tower and the tallest building at the moment, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. The building was originally called the Sears Tower, and the Willis name was given in 2009. The foundation of the Willis Tower rests on concrete piles driven into solid rock. The frame consists of nine square "tubes" forming one large square at the base. Each such "pipe" consists of 20 vertical beams and many horizontal ones. All nine "pipes" are welded up to the 50th floor, then seven pipes go up to 66, five remain to the 90th floor, and the remaining two "pipes" rise another 20 floors. What exactly it looks like is clear from a 1971 photograph.

The worker stands on the spire of the tower.

Willis Tower is on the right in this photo, with two spiers.

Zifeng Tower

In Chinese Nanjing, until the middle of the 19th century, there was a Porcelain Pagoda, a Buddhist temple 78 meters high. Travelers described it as one of the wonders of the world. It was replaced by the Zifeng skyscraper.

The construction of the 450-meter Zifeng high-rise building was completed in 2009. It is the business center of the city. It houses offices, shops, shopping centers, restaurants and an observatory. In total - 89 floors.

Work on the construction of the tower lasted only four years. In the process, the project was changed: the tower could have a height of 300 meters. For China, where the population density is extremely high, the efficient use of land is essential. The triangular site for construction was used to the maximum: the skyscraper has a triangular base.

The idea of ​​the architects was to interweave the motifs of Chinese dragons, the Yangtze River and green gardens. The river is the vertical and horizontal seams separating the glass surfaces. These surfaces themselves, according to architectural thought, are a reference to dancing dragons. Vegetation and pools were placed inside the building.

petronas towers

In the capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, in 1998, skyscrapers were erected called the Petronas Towers. The height of the two 88-storey skyscrapers is 451 meters, including the spire.

The skyscraper was built in the "Islamic" style, each building is an eight-pointed star with semicircular ledges for stability. The construction site was changed after geological surveys. Initially, one skyscraper was supposed to stand on limestone, the other on rock, so one of the buildings could sag. The site was moved 60 meters. The foundation of the towers is currently the deepest concrete foundation: the piles are driven 100 meters into the soft ground.

Construction was complicated by an important condition: only domestically produced materials could be used. Especially for the building, they developed durable elastic concrete, reinforced with quartz and comparable in strength to steel. The mass of the skyscraper turned out to be twice that of similar steel buildings.

The bridge between the twin towers is fixed with ball bearings. Rigid fastening is impossible, as the towers sway.

The elevators in the building are two-story models designed by Otis. One cabin stops only on odd floors, the second - on even ones. This allowed to save space inside the skyscrapers.

International Commerce Center

The 118 floors of the Hong Kong International Commerce Center house offices, a hotel and shopping malls. The height of the building is 484 meters. It was originally planned to build a skyscraper with a height of 574 meters, but the project was changed due to a ban on the construction of buildings higher than Mount Victoria.

Construction was completed in 2010, but there was no official opening: tenants were already using the building with might and main. From floors 102 to 118, it is the highest above ground hotel operated by the Ritz-Carlton. On the last, 118th floor, there is the highest swimming pool in the world.

In 2008, China built the Shanghai World Financial Center, a neighbor of the Shanghai Tower. The height of the 101-storey building is 492 meters, although 460 meters were originally planned. The building housed a hotel, conference rooms, offices, shops and a museum.

The building can withstand earthquakes up to seven points, has fire-protected floors. After the attack on the Twin Towers in New York, the design of the building was finalized so that it could withstand a direct hit by an aircraft.

Due to its silhouette, the skyscraper got the name "opener". The trapezoidal opening at the top was supposed to be spherical, but the Chinese government forced the design to be changed so that the building did not resemble the rising sun on the Japanese flag. Such changes made it possible to reduce the cost and simplify the design. This was the plan for the upper part of the building:

Here is the result:

Taipei 101

Taiwan's capital, Taipei, boasts a skyscraper over half a kilometer tall. Together with the spire, Taipei 101 is 509.2 meters tall and has 101 floors.

Taipei 101 for some time was also distinguished by the fastest elevators in the world: they rise at a speed of more than 60 kilometers per hour, or 16.83 meters per second. From the fifth to the eighty-ninth floor, people rise in 39 seconds. Now the new record belongs to the Shanghai Tower.

On the 87th and 88th floors there is a 660-ton steel pendulum ball. This architectural solution was made not only to decorate the interior. The pendulum allows the building to compensate for gusts of wind. A strong, but not rigid steel frame can withstand the strongest earthquakes. These solutions, together with a foundation of piles one and a half meters in diameter, driven 80 meters into the ground, made the building one of the safest in the world. On March 31, 2002, a 6.8 magnitude earthquake destroyed two cranes on the building and killed five people. The tower itself was not damaged. But there is a theory that it was the skyscraper that activated the seismic activity.

Freedom Tower

World Trade Center 1 in Manhattan, New York, outpaced its rival Taipei 101 by 32 meters, although if you count the distance from the ground to the roof, the American Freedom Tower, on the contrary, loses to the Taiwanese tower by 37 meters. The height of the World Trade Center 1 is 541.3 meters along the spire and 417 meters along the roof.

The building stands on the site that was occupied by the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, which were destroyed as a result of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. The design of WTC1 took into account the experience of the past, and the lower 57 meters are made using concrete instead of the steel structure that has become the standard.

The building officially opened on November 3, 2014. It is occupied by offices, marketplaces, restaurants and the City Television Alliance.

Royal clock tower

In Mecca, Saudi Arabia, in 2012, a complex of high-rise buildings of the Tower of the House was built opposite the entrance to the al-Haram mosque, where the main shrine of Islam, the Kaaba, is located. The tallest building in the complex is the Royal Clock Tower Hotel with a height of 601 meters. It is designed to accommodate up to one hundred thousand pilgrims from the five million people who visit Mecca every year. The Royal Clock Tower is the third tallest building in the world.

On the tower at a height of 400 meters there are four dials with a diameter of 43 meters. They are visible from any part of the city. This is the highest altitude clock in the world at the moment.

The length of the spire at the top of the hotel is 45 meters. The spire has 160 loudspeakers for the call to prayer. The 107-ton crescent at the very top of the building has several rooms, one of which is a prayer room.

The tower has 21,000 flashing lights and 2.2 million LEDs.

shanghai tower

The second tallest skyscraper is located in China. This is the Shanghai Tower, a building with a height of 632 meters, adjacent to another skyscraper from the list - the Shanghai World Financial Center. Offices, shopping and entertainment centers, and a hotel were placed on 130 floors.

The elevators in the building were developed by Mitsubishi Electric. Their speed is 18 meters per second, or 69 kilometers per hour. At the moment, these are the fastest elevators in the world. There are three such elevators in the building, four more two-story elevators develop a speed of 10 meters per second.

beautiful view you should not expect from the windows of a skyscraper. The building has double walls and a second shell designed to keep the temperature in.

The tower has a twisted design, which adds stability to fight the wind.

This view shows a spiral trough for collecting rainwater used for heating and air conditioning.

Burj Khalifa

Opened in 2010 in Dubai, UAE, the Burj Khalifa tower overtook all existing skyscrapers and is still the leader in height.

The tower was designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, the architects behind the Willis Tower and 1 World Trade Center we talked about earlier. The construction of the Dubai Tower was carried out by Samsung, which also participated in the construction of the Petronas Towers. There are 57 elevators in the building, you need to use them with transfers - only one service elevator can go up to the last floor.

The tower houses the Armani Hotel, which was designed by Giorgio Armani himself, apartments, offices, shopping centers, fitness centers and observation decks with jacuzzis. Indian billionaire B.R. Shetty purchased two floors in their entirety, including the 100th floor, at a cost of over US$12 million each.

As with the Petronas Towers, the world's tallest skyscraper has its own special kind concrete. It can withstand temperatures up to 48 degrees Celsius. During construction, concrete was laid at night, adding ice to the solution. The builders did not have the opportunity to fix the foundation in the rocky soil, and they used two hundred piles 45 meters long and 1.5 meters in diameter.

If the Shanghai Tower has a gutter for collecting rainwater, then in the case of the Burj Khalifa tower, this approach is not needed: there is little rainfall in the desert. Instead, the building has a condensate collection system that collects up to 40 million liters of water per year for watering plants.

During the filming of Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Tom Cruise decided to climb the tower to write Katie Holmes's name on it and get a great shot.

Planned buildings

At the moment, there are only two building projects that can take the first line in the ranking of the tallest skyscrapers in the world.

At 828 meters high, the Burj Khalifa doesn't seem as impressive compared to the Dubai Creek Harbor Tower project. Its height on the roof will be 928 meters - that is, it will already beat the current record by 100 meters. And the height along the spire will completely exceed one kilometer - it will reach 1014 meters. But this is not certain - the parameters of the building are kept secret. Like the Eiffel Tower, the Dubai Creek Harbor Tower will be open for World Expo 2020 if all goes according to plan. The foundation was laid on October 10, 2016.
