Asian countries were leading skyscraper construction with China at the top of the rankings for the last 24 years. Last year, China managed 56 completions, though that marks a decline on its 2018 total. For the fourth year in a row, Shenzhen city recorded the world’s largest number of completions of 200-meter-plus skyscrapers – 15. That’s more than the entire U.S. total for 2019.
