Only one city building among world’s tallest

For now, only one New York City skyscraper — the Empire State Building — made the latest list of the 10 tallest buildings in the world. Ranked ninth, the Empire State Building is just 10 feet shorter than number eight on the list, Shun Hing Square in China. When — and if — it gets built, the Freedom Tower will be more than 100 feet taller than the world’s tallest building right now, the Taipei 101 in Taiwan. more [Forbes]
