=10. Wuxi, China
The city in Jiangsu province, just 45 minutes from Shanghai by high-speed train. Albeit being in the shadow of its neighbor, that does not hinder its growth to come up with three supertalls built in 10 years span.

=10. Nanjing, China
The main landmark, Zifeng Tower was once within 10 world's highest buildings become a symbol of Nanjing rapid progress despite its dark history 80 years ago.

=10. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
After completion of TM Tower in 2001, Kuala Lumpur stuck with 3 supertalls along with Petronas Towers until now. But 1 supertall (Four Seasons Place) soon will be included as well as 1 megatall (KL118).

=8. Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE)
Although lose badly to its brother in skyscraper race, Abu Dhabi still managed to sit on eighth place on the world stage. No bad at all.

=8. Shanghai, China
Too bad the Shanghai Tower is considered a megatall (over 600 meters high), well at least it would share position with Moscow but yeah. Its difficult for new development since most lands in the city center already developed.

7. Moscow, Russia
The only representative from Europe, Moscow take a very different path from its west neighbors by easily approving supertall skyscrapers in the city center. That also means Moscow dominating 10 tallest buildings in Europe.

=4. Chicago, United States (USA)
Chicago together with New York City flourished through 20th century with world's tallest building title stayed in America for at least one decade. Sears (now Willis) Tower was the historically Earth's tallest for 24 years.

=4. Shenzhen, China
30 years ago, Shenzhen was mere small town compared to Hong Kong, but now both are equal if not surpassed economically, the same thing happened in terms of city's supertalls counts.

=4. Hong Kong, China
The city with most skyscrapers on Earth would be odd not to have one in the list. So a century of fast-paced growth yielded a combination of new (International Commerce Centre) and old supertalls (Bank of China).

3. New York City, United States (USA)
Together with Hong Kong Island, Manhattan are two most developed islands in the world. Land scarcity force mayors and developers to build vertically for space that sparks innovations along the way such as elevators, escalators, as well as metro system to handle high traffic commuters.

2. Guangzhou, China
Eight supertalls in Guangzhou sitting close to each other. If that is not enough, Canton Tower at 600 meters high located just across the Pearl River with horizontal Ferris wheel operated one level above observation deck.

1. Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE)
18 supertalls, yep you heard it right, and increasing—fast. These supertalls are mostly group together in two places as shown in video. the one batch located near the Dubai Marina and the other are along Sheikh Zayed Road. The one near Dubai Marina are mostly luxury apartments with penthouses one of the most expensive in the world.
