China is currently one of the benchmarks in terms of skyscraper construction. In the Pearl River Delta region there are more than 1,500 of these buildings. However, Dubai is recognized as having the tallest skyscraper in the world, it is the iconic Burj Khalifa with 828 meters high.
Hong Kong and Shenzhen
Hong Kong along with Shenzhen and Guangzhou form part of the burgeoning megacity known as the Pearl River Delta, which is home to more than 1,500 skyscrapers. Leading the list, Hong Kong has 657 skyscrapers over 150 meters and six over 300 meters high. Shenzhen follows with 513 over 150 meters and 16 over 300 meters high. It should be noted that Shenzhen was a small fishing village until the 1970s.
NY
In third position on the list is New York, the only city on the American continent in the ranking, with an impressive 421 skyscrapers.
Though it may have ceded its title to Chinese cities, the city’s skyline endures as a world-renowned symbol, featuring the iconic Empire State Building. In particular, while the Empire State Building enjoys widespread familiarity, it is no longer among the world’s 50 tallest structures.
Completing the top five is Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, which ranks fourth with 395 skyscrapers, 28 of which are over 300 meters tall. This oasis in the desert has become synonymous with grandiose architecture and record-breaking structures, exemplified by it, which is the tallest building in the world today at 828 meters.

The list closes with Chongqing (205) in eighth place, followed by Tokyo with 200 and Wuhan with 183 skyscrapers. Of these last three cities, Chongqing and Wuhan have five skyscrapers of more than 300 meters each. In Tokyo there is no infrastructure that exceeds that height.
