Tallest Buildings In The World Height Comparison
Tallest Buildings In The World Height Comparison
In 1996, as a response to the dispute as to whether the Petronas Towers or the Sears Tower was taller, the (CTBUH) 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); and
height to top of any part of the building.
Spires are considered integral parts of the architectural design of buildings, changes to which would substantially change the appearance and design of the building, whereas antennas may be added or removed without such consequences.
As of 2019, this list includes the top 40 buildings (completed and architecturally topped out), as assessed by their highest architectural feature. If the twin towers were not destroyed and One World Trade Center never built, the WTC towers would rank 28 and 29 on the list today.
