Recently Kuala Lumper beat Chicago in a battle of skyscrapers when experts had the country's Petronas
Twin Towers measured and declared it the world's tallest building. The title was f.mp3erly held by Chicago's
110-story Sears Tower. Its status had been left unchallenged for 22 years.
Buildings in the United States have held the title since 1913, but the need for space has created a
skyscraper boom in Asia. According to one building expert, "the ball has started rolling in Asia." However,
some experts think that building super-tall skyscrapers is not a matter of economics but ego. Every architect
wants to have the honor of having the tallest building in the world. When the planned 1509-foot Shanghai
World Financial Center is finished in a couple of years, it will be China's turn to have that honor.
