USA is the birthplace of the skyscraper. North America is the continent with the 2nd largest number of skyscrapers in the world! Cities like New York and Chicago were the first cities in the world with skyscrapers and almost all fairly large American cities have a decent skyline. There are also lots of skyscrapers in Canada and Mexico. Ever since the early 20th century most skyscrapers were built in North America, but the continent has lost the skyscraper race to Asia recently. The tallest buildings in the world were all in the USA, like Empire State Bldg, the old World Trade Center and Sears Tower, until Malaysia took the title thanks to the spires of the Petronas Towers. However, Sears Tower still had the title of the world’s tallest building to the roof until Taipei 101 was completed in 2004. Even though there are no megatalls under construction in North America, cities like New York, Miami and Toronto are still building many new skyscrapers.
