Increadible outside the Tour Eiffel no towers at are actually build.
It would be great if they build every one.

Malmö, Sweden

Turning Torso

Kronprinsen

Hilton

Cumulated heights of Top10 buildings (including churches): 784 m

1. Turning Torso : 190m
2. St Petri Church : 105m
3. Kronprinsen : 82m
4. Hilton Malmö City : 69m
5. Kockumshuset : 65m
6. Slagthuset : 63m
7. St Johannes Church : 60m
8. Högaholm 1 : 50m
9. Högaholm 2 : 50m
10. Högaholm 3 : 50m

Cumulated heights of Top10 buildings (not including churches): 719 m

1. Turning Torso : 190m
2. Kronprinsen : 82m
3. Hilton Malmö City : 69m
4. Kockumshuset : 65m
5. Slagthuset : 63m
6. Högaholm 1 : 50m
7. Högaholm 2 : 50m
8. Högaholm 3 : 50m
9. Högaholm 4 : 50m
10. Högaholm 5 : 50m

What are the rules? I know for example TV towers, masts, chimneys and bridges can’t be counted, but can churches be counted since they are buildings (but not highrises)?
And is it the roof height that is counted (it seems so since Frankfurt’s Commerzbank would be 299m otherwise)?

I love turning torso. Something liek that would perfect in Los Angeles but our city leaders lack ambition and innovation.

Yeah, Turning Torso is stellar.

Not much, but currently people are slowly becoming a bit more pro-high rise here, or maybe I just interpret the current situation like that...
