It isn’t just that skyscrapers in general are getting taller; a new trend of “supertall” skyscrapers has also taken hold in cities throughout the globe. Supertall skyscrapers don’t just lend dramatic flash to a city’s skyline, they also serve as boasting rights and attractions for the cities that can afford them. Examples of supertall buildings include:
- One World Trade Center (Freedom Tower) – NYC
- The Chrysler Building – NYC
- The Bank Of America Plaza – Atlanta
- The Sky Tower – Abu Dhabi
