List of cities with the most skyscrapers
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
This list of cities with most skyscrapers ranks cities around the world by their number of buildings higher than various thresholds, complementing the list of cities with the most high-rise buildings, which uses a 150m cutoff. Since the first skyscraper was built in the United States in the 1800s the United States and its cities have the most skyscrapers total of any country.

List of all cities by number of completed or topped out skyscrapers
This is a list of cities by number of completed or topped out skyscrapers. The majority of international organizations, such as the CTBUH and Emporis, define a skyscraper as a building that reaches or exceeds the height of 150 metres.[1]

Cities with at least 100 completed / topped-out skyscrapers above 150m
Some skyscraper definitions draw the lower limit at 150 metres (492 ft).[7] The following list includes all cities with at least 100 completed or topped-out skyscrapers and freestanding towers according to this definition:
| City | ≥800m | ≥700m | ≥600m | ≥500m | ≥450m | ≥400m | ≥350m | ≥300m | ≥250m | ≥200m | ≥150m |

Cities with at least 50 skyscrapers above 150m (i.e. about 35–40 floors) (under construction inclusive)
Only skyscrapers of known height are recorded on the chart. Skyscrapers of unknown height but are known to be at least 35 floors high will still be count for the city's skyscraper tally but will not appear on the chart.
