Skyscraper record soars as China leads the way

摘要

More skyscrapers were built around the world than ever before last year, according to new research. In total, 128 buildings standing at 200m or higher were completed globally in 2016, according to analysis by the Council on Tall Building and Urban Habitat (CTBUH). This beat the previous record of 114 buildings set the year before. Asia retained its status as the world's skyscraper epicentre, completing 107 buildings taller than 200m, representing 84% of the 128-building total.
