That's the related list of completed tallest building: http://www.skyscrapercenter.com/buildings?list=tallest100-co... At the moment Shanghai (China) is the cities with most sky scrappers in the world.

@frik – many of your comments (including this one) are dead. Can't tell from your comment history why.
Thanks for letting me know! It's hard to reply, I can only post 2-3 comments per day, as I always get this site error message: "You're posting too fast. Please slow down. Thanks." Apparently I rubbed the owner/maintainer the wrong way by asking about checking the site server logs to investigate an apparent voting ring thing going on - that was about two years ago. Then he apparently "rate-limited" my account, meaning…

That is a shockingly bad-faith description. You're banned because you serially abused Hacker News for years, and we gave you a great many warnings before we did that.
Here's diagrams of all of the tallest buildings by 2023 (including built ones) visually next to each other sorted by official height thanks to SkyscraperPage: http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?searchID=207 The Skyscrapercenter doesn't include the Dubai Creek Tower which is also already under construction.
Is the Dubai Creek Tower freestanding? Or are those lines at the bottom cables for stability?
I live in Wuhan, where the second tallest building Wuhan Greenland Center (636m) is being built. I see it everyday, actually I also find this kind of thing weird, but anyway, it's a good name card for a city, and such construction can give many people jobs, moreover, it may attract more business to the city.

I am now documenting a last time what moderation tactics are going on here...
With rate-limiting it means your account gets so much worse:
* lowered the comment start-ranked to below normal
* news & comment votes are not counted at all, but only showed to oneself (fake increase)
* rate-limited writing comments and submit news (only 2 comment or 1 news submission per 6 hours)
You/your employee rate-limited my account, and a few weeks ago your employee shadow banned my account for a slightly not adhering to the guideline comment. If stepping 3 times slightly beside the guidelines (that are a moving target, an interpreted subjectively) is "serially for years" something is wrong on the other side, I am sure.
I have a good history of comments, the guy who rate-limited my account showed my account the middle finger. And there is no way to get a normal account status again.
What a pitty that Paul PG Graham left, and it turned so much worse since then. I am done with writing comments here, I am sure there are other better websites around, I am leaving the sinking ship.
