The height figures stem largely the database of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (Council for tall buildings and urban habitat ) and Emporis. All buildings are classified by the official height. This includes spiers, if these are part of the building architecture, but no radio antennas without similar technical constructions. Listed are also buildings that are still under construction, but already have reached its total height.
In addition, buildings are listed, which are not classified as high-rise buildings, as less than 50 percent of the total height are available as usable area ( for example, television towers, churches, stadiums ).
