This list of tallest buildings includes skyscrapers with continuously occupiable floors. Non-building structures, such as towers, are not included in this list. • Historically, the world's tallest man-made structure was the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, which held the position for over 3,800 years until the construction of Lincoln Cathedral in 1311. The Strasbourg Cathedral in France, completed in 1439, was the world's tallest building until 1874. • The first skyscraper was pioneered in Chicago with the 138 ft (42.1 m) Home Insurance Building in 1885. The United States would hold the position of the world's tallest building throughout the 20th century until 1998, when the Petronas Towers were completed. Since then, two other buildings have gained the title: Taipei 101 in 2004 and Burj Khalifa in 2010. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the Middle East, China, and Southeast Asia have experienced booms in skyscraper construction. • The international non-profit organization Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) was formed in 1969 and announces the title of The World's Tallest Building and sets the standards by which buildings are measured. It maintains a list of the 100 tallest completed buildings in the world. The organization currently ranks Burj Khalifa in Dubai as the tallest at 828 m (2,717 ft). However, the CTBUH only recognizes buildings that are complete, and some buildings included within the lists in this article are not considered finished by the CTBUH. • In 1996, as a response to the dispute as to whether the Petronas Towers or the Sears Tower was taller, the council listed and ranked buildings in four categories: • height to structural or architectural top; • height to floor of highest occupied floor; • height to top of roof (removed as category in November 2009);[9] and • height to top of any part of the building. • Six of the last seven buildings to have held the record as 'tallest building' are still found in the list, with the exception being the North Tower of the original World Trade Center at 417 metres (1,368 ft) after its destruction in the September 11 attacks of 2001. If the Twin Towers were never destroyed, and One World Trade Center was never built, the WTC towers would rank 34 and 35 on the list today. • If you like this piece of information kindly like share and subscribe. • Please be respectful to each other in the comments section so that we can have a meaningful conversation about things we are interested about. • We honor every suggestion you post and appreciate your contributions. • We are full time professionals and work on these videos in our spare time. • We need your support to keep making more and better videos so kindly like, share and subscribe for more content like this. • Suggest us what you like and we will make videos on that. • Enjoy the video • • Source: • www.en.wikipedia.org • www.skyscrapercenter.com • https://www.wikipedia.org/ • www.popularmechanics.com • www.businessinsider.in • • 🎵 Track Info: • Moar Progressive House by Brenticus / brenticus • Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 • Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/moar-progressive-house • Music promoted by Audio Library • Moar Progressive House – Brenticus (N...
