From the Mid 1990s through the late 2000s, Miami went through the largest building boom in the city's history. Miami's history of high rises began with the 1912 completion of the six story Burdine's Department Store, although the Freedom Tower, built in 1925, is Miami's best known early skyscraper, and remains an icon of the city. city of Miami, Florida is the site of 295 high-rises, 59 of which stand taller than 400 feet (120 m). All eleven of their skyscrapers that tower over 200 meters were built after 2004. The architectural modernity is not to be overlooked, there are plenty of shiny office and condo towers amidst the grey skies. The bay area where the tallest buildings are situated looks like a cross between Manhattan and san Francisco minus some of the organization and style. Sadly because of the industrial economy of the region, despite being geographically lovely, it is also extremely dirty and polluted.
The city sits on the hillside tops of two converging rivers. The city holds the 40th place in the world by highrise buildings count.Ĭhongqing is one of the largest cities in China and one of the rapidly growing.

Panama City has the most prominent skyline in Central America. San Francisco boasts 21 skyscrapers that rise at least 492 feet (150 m) in height. The city is currently going through a second boom, with 34 buildings over 400 feet (122 m) proposed, approved, or under construction in the city. As a result skyscraper construction slowed down during the 1990s, but construction of taller buildings has resumed recently as the building height requirements have been relaxed and overlooked in light of recent economic activity.
This boom was dubbed a "Manhattanization wave" by residents of the city, and led to local legislation passed that set in some of the strictest building height limit requirements in the country. Many of San Francisco's tallest buildings, particularly its office skyscrapers, were completed in a massive building boom that occurred from the late 1960s until the late 1980s.
