Top 30 Skylines of The World
Chicago, USA

Chicago
is the birthplace of the modern skyscraper. When Chicago
built its first steel high-rise in 1885, it was not the
tallest structure in the world but the first example of a
new form of engineering that would change nearly every
city on earth. Chicago has 20 buildings over 200 metres
tall (three of which are among the top 20 tallest
buildings in the world, including the tallest in North
America). Chicago has some of the finest mid-century
architecture and examples of modern skyscrapers. This
skyline has many distinctive views, changing it's pattern
ever so subtly at each angle you choose to look at it
from. Like Hong Kong and New York, Chicago's skyscraper's
really do create a line, stacked up along the shoreline,
creating a true, skyline effect. Best View(s):
Adler Planetarium or Montrose Point or US Cellular Field
