Frankfurt is often recognised for its distinctive skyline, a rare feature in European cities. Towering glass skyscrapers mark its role as a global financial hub, yet beneath this vertical image lies a city layered with centuries of history, destruction, and reconstruction. From medieval timber-framed houses to post-war modernism and contemporary high-rises, Frankfurt has consistently reinvented itself through architecture, producing a built environment where different periods coexist in dialogue.

Wuhan has completed over 150 skyscrapers, making it a rising contender in urban development, particularly in the past two decades as part of China's inland urban expansion.

The new skyscraper at 63 St Mary's Axe will encompass over 85,000 sq ft of floor space, largely for mixed-use offices, with flexible commercial and leisure spaces on lower levels.

Construction on the Goldin Finance 117 tower in Tianjin is set to resume after 10 years, with a projected completion date of 2027.

The plan for a new 53-story residential tower atop a parking garage in downtown LA has received City Planning Commission approval, advancing towards a City Council vote.
