Rise in tall building growth
With 88 buildings greater than 200 m (656 ft) completed last year, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) sees an ongoing trend in an annual increase in building completion.
In 2011, 17 new buildings were added to the list of the world’s 100 tallest buildings. For the first time, the number of office buildings has decreased to the 50 per cent mark, while mixed-use buildings continue to rise, increasing from 23 to 31.
