1001Places - Ξέρετε ποιοι ήταν οι υψηλότεροι ουρανοξύστες μέχρι το 2020?

Η ανθρωπότητα έχει εμμονή με το να σπάσει τα όριά της, δημιουργώντας νέα κτίρια μόνο για να σπάσει τα ρεκόρ ξανά και ξανά. 
Στην πραγματικότητα, οι ψηλοί πύργοι οι τα ψηλά κτίρια στις πόλεις ήταν πάντα προνόμιο από εκείνους που είχαν την εξουσία σε κάθε περίοδο της ιστορίας. 
Σε ένα σημείο οι εκκλησίες άφησαν το στίγμα τους, ως μεγάλες κατασκευές ακολουθούμενες από δημόσια κτίρια.
Τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες, οι εμπορικοί ουρανοξύστες συνεχίζουν να εκτείνονται ψηλότερα και ψηλότερα.
