(Con los edificios mas altos.) (Avec les bātiments plus haute.)
New York City 9/10
Had the terrorist attacks not occurred in 2001, New York City, for 100 years the undisputed leading city of the world in so many spheres, would have still ranked number one as the tallest city of the world, up until the end of 2009, a distinction it possessed since the start of the 20th century.
NEW YORK CITY
TAIPEI
Taipei is noted here because it is now home to the officially tallest building in the world. However, as one can see here, it has only one other building that is especially tall. Through 2008, Taipei ranked at 31. Dubai has plans to climb up to number one by 2009. See Methodology for more information. Click button at left to see World's Tallest 25 Cities list.
