List of cities with the most skyscrapers
This list of cities with most skyscrapers ranks cities around the world by their number of buildings higher than various thresholds, complementing the list of cities with the most high-rise buildings, which uses a 35m cutoff.
Cities with at least 100 completed / topped-out skyscrapers above 150m
Some skyscraper definitions draw the lower limit at 150 metres (492 ft).[1] The following list includes all cities with at least 100 completed or topped-out skyscrapers and freestanding towers according to this definition:
| City | ≥800m | ≥700m | ≥600m | ≥500m | ≥450m | ≥400m | ≥350m | ≥300m | ≥250m | ≥200m | ≥150m |
