Ok, so what is qualification for a building to be considered a Skyscraper? I can't imagine that Chicago has more skyscrapers than Shanghai - that's nuts.

skyscrapers page is a good reference. Also the definition of "skyscraper" is kind of dubious for a lot of these rankings

This post would be much more useful if there was a definition of the word 'skyscraper'. Wikipedia offers this definition: "a tall habitable building, usually higher than 150 metres (500 feet)" which is the equivalent of around 40 stories. However way you look at it however, the stats above are flawed.

SYDNEY has more skyscrapers than Shanghai?! LOL. The authors obviously have no clue.

Thanks for posting my article! What's really weird is that the Spiegel magazine is actually one of Germany's best magazines and usually very, very professional. But this article here from them just made me angry...

he he, how offended you look... My hometown's highest building has 12 floors... And we are very happy for that! BTW, I used to live in one of those 12th floors.
