Explanation:

Skyscrapers, also known as high-rise buildings and high-rise buildings, refer to high-rise buildings with considerable height. Originally it was 10 to 20 storeys, but now it usually refers to a building with more than 50 floors. With the development of high-rise buildings in different places, the definition of skyscraper is also slightly different. According to CTBUH, a building with a height of more than 300 meters is called a super high-rise building. In Japan, it is defined as a super high-rise building if it is more than 60 meters; in the United States, it is generally believed that buildings more than 500 feet (152 meters) are skyscrapers; the general principles for design of civil buildings (GB 50352-2005) of the people's Republic of China stipulates that when the building height exceeds 100 meters, both residential and public buildings are super high-rise buildings.

With the development of cities and the continuous improvement of human technology, more and more cities regard skyscrapers as a symbol of a city's wealth and strength. Different countries and cities are more and more obsessed with the pursuit of the highest building. For example, the world's tallest building, the Caliphate tower in Dubai, was completed on January 4, 2010, with a height of 828 meters.
