Australia is only a technicality. Gold Coast has the tallest due to a super tall skinny spire on the Q1. Melbourne has the actual tallest buildings and the largest population. And Melbourne is building a 366m, 102 storey tower to beat the spire (Sth Bnk).

Italy is wrong. The tallest building is in Milan, which by population and land area is the second largest city in

Cool map. The tallest building in Mexico, and all of Latin America, is in Monterrey and it’s called Torre Obispado or T.OP for short. 305 meters… surrounded almost completely by low and mid rise buildings. It looks fucking ridiculous where it is. And to make things even stranger, they’re building a massive, 475 meter building *right* next to T.OP.

Looks like the tallest buildings that aren’t in the largest city are often in the major financial district or commercial city. India’s tallest buildings are all in Mumbai, many of France’s tallest are in La Defense (so not officially in Paris), and many of Germany’s are in Frankfurt. In many of the gray cities, the largest city is the financial hub of the country (US, UK, Japan, China, etc.).

Shouldn’t the Netherlands and Italy be shaded red as the tallest buildings are in Rotterdam and Milan which are the second largest city after Amsterdam and Rome respectively? I’d say these are definitely different cases to the other countries where the tallest building is in the same metropolitan area just outside of the same city.

Rotterdam is kind of in a weird spot here because it’s both the second largest city of the Netherlands while also being part of the same urban area as Amsterdam (the Randstad metropolitan area). As a Rotterdammer I can only say I’m deeply offended you picked the latter for this map and will resent you until my dying breath

Tallest building in Bolivia Green Tower La Paz, is located on La Paz, the third largest City in the country, behind Santa Cruz de la Sierra and El Alto.

US should be blue, the one World Trade Center counts its antenna. Should hats count when measuring people’s height.
Anyone knows which is considered the tallest one in Morocco? Need to know if the map is outdated or pedantic lol

What do you mean by “largest city”?
In Italy the larger city is Rome with 1 287 km^(2). Rome Metropolitan area is 5 352 km^(2).
If we consider the Metropolitan Areas the largest is not Rome but Turin with an area of 6 827 km^(2).
The tallest buillding in Italy is “Torre Isozaki” in Milan with a height of 209.2 meters.
​
So the tallest building can’t be “in the largest urban area” as Milan Metropolitan Area is not the largest.

Fun fact: Italy has 3 motorways bridges higher than the highest tower, all 3 are in the south

The city that has Brazil’s tallest building is in 214th place on the biggest city ranking.

South Africa should be grey, Sandton is in the largest city municipality, the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality.

Just gonna say this for any further comments: second largest city means second largest urban area here, and third largest city means third largest urban area. I should’ve made that more clear.

All the tallest buildings in Brazil are in a very small 100k people city in the South, it’s not a financial centre, not a population centre, it’s a beach tourism town whose main business are tourism and building skyscrapers. The city grows 10x during the summer.

Karlatornet in Gothenburg, Sweden, is a fucking eyesore. It stands out way too much in a city that is much more wide than tall.
Shouldn’t India be grey? The urban agglomeration of Delhi is larger than Mumbai, but more people live in Mumbai city proper than do in Delhi

Bangladesh isn’t correct. Tallest building is City Centre. In Dhaka, the largest city (by a mile).

In Brazil, 6 out of the 10 tallest buildings are located in Balneário Camboriú, a resort city of 150,000 (although in the tourist season, it may host over 1 million people).
Currently, a 544 m tall skyscraper called Senna Tower is to be built there.

This is wrong for Morocco, it should be blue since the tallest building is actually close to the river separating Rabat and Salé cities, neither of which is the second largest city (Fez).
Grey is missing from the key
