== Tallest buildings == This section is linked from [[CN Tower]] 
{{Main|List of tallest buildings in the world}}
Up until 1998 the tallest building status was essentially uncontested. Counting buildings as structures with floors throughout, and with antenna masts excluded, [[Willis Tower]] (previously Sears Tower) in Chicago was considered the tallest. When the [[Petronas Twin Towers]] in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia were built, controversy arose because the spire extended nine metres higher than the roof of Willis Tower. Excluding the spire, the Petronas Towers are not taller than Willis Tower. At their convention in Chicago, the [[Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat]] (CTBUH) reduced Willis Tower from world's tallest and pronounced it not second tallest, but third, and pronounced Petronas as world's tallest. This action caused a considerable amount of controversy, so CTBUH defined four categories in which the world's tallest building can be measured:<ref>[http://www.ctbuh.org/HighRiseInfo/TallestDatabase/Criteria/tabid/446/Default.aspx – CTBUH Criteria for Defining and Measuring Tall Buildings]</ref>

# Height to Architectural Top (including [[spire]]s and pinnacles, but not antennas, masts or flagpoles). This measurement is the most widely used and is used to define the rankings of the 100 Tallest Buildings in the World.
# Highest Occupied Floor
# Height to Top of Roof (omitted from criteria from November 2009 onwards)<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.ctbuh.org/NewsMedia/PR_091117_ChangeHeightCriteria/tabid/1273/language/en-US/Default.aspx|title= CTBUH changes height criteria, Burj Khalifa height increases|date=November 17, 2009|publisher=[[Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat]]|accessdate=November 18, 2009}}</ref>
# Height to Tip

The height is measured from the level of the lowest, significant, open-air, pedestrian entrance. At the time, the Willis Tower held first place in the second and third categories, the Petronas Towers held the first category and the original World Trade Towers held the fourth. Within months, however, a new antenna mast was placed on the Willis Tower, giving it hold of the fourth category.
On April 20, 2004, Taipei 101 in Taipei, Taiwan, was completed. Its completion gave it the world record for the first three categories. On July 21, 2007 it was announced that Burj Khalifa had surpassed Taipei 101 in height, reaching {{convert|512|m|ft|abbr=on}}.

Since being completed in early 2010, Burj Khalifa leads in all categories (the first building to do so). With a spire height of {{convert|829.84|m|ft|0|abbr=on}}, Burj Khalifa surpassed Taipei 101 as the tallest building to architectural detail and the Willis Tower as the tallest building to tip. It also leads in the category of highest occupied floor.

Before Burj Khalifa was completed, Willis Tower led in the fourth category with {{convert|527|m|ft|abbr=on}}, previously held by the [[World Trade Center]] until the extension of the Chicago tower's western broadcast antenna in 2000, over a year prior to the World Trade Center's [[September 11, 2001 attacks|destruction]] in 2001. Its antenna mast included, One World Trade Center measured {{convert|526|m|ft|abbr=on}}. The World Trade Center became the world's tallest buildings to be destroyed or demolished; indeed, its site entered the record books twice on September 11, 2001, in that category, replacing the [[Singer Building]], which once stood a block from the World Trade Center site.{{Citation needed|date=February 2007}} A different superlative for skyscrapers is their [[List of buildings with 100 floors or more|number of floors]]. The World Trade Center set that at 110, and this was not surpassed for nearly four decades until the Burj Khalifa, which opened in 2010.

Structures such as the CN Tower, the [[Ostankino Tower]] and the [[Oriental Pearl Tower]] are excluded from these categories because they are not "habitable buildings", which are defined as frame structures made with floors and walls throughout.<ref name="ctbuh criteria"/>

==World's tallest freestanding structure on land==
{{Main|List of tallest freestanding structures in the world}}
Freestanding structures include observation towers, monuments and other structures not generally considered to be "Habitable buildings", but excludes supported structures such as guyed masts and ocean drilling platforms.
''(See also [[skyscrapers#History of tallest skyscrapers|history of tallest skyscrapers]].)''

The world's tallest freestanding structure on land is defined as the tallest self-supporting man-made structure that stands above ground. This definition is different from that of [[List of tallest buildings and structures in the world#Tallest buildings|world's tallest building]] or [[List of tallest buildings and structures in the world#Tallest structures|world's tallest structure]] based on the percentage of the structure that is occupied and whether or not it is self-supporting or supported by exterior cables. Likewise, this definition does not count structures that are built underground or on the [[seabed]], such as the [[Petronius Platform]] in the [[Gulf of Mexico]]. Visit [[List of tallest buildings and structures in the world#Tallest structure by category|world's tallest structure by category]] for a list of various other definitions.

As of May 12, 2008, the tallest freestanding structure on land is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The building, which now stands at {{convert|829.84|m|ft|0|abbr=on}}, surpassed the height of the previous record holder, the {{convert|553.3|m|ft|abbr=on}} CN Tower in Toronto, Ontario, on September 12, 2007. It was completed in 2010, and was topped out at {{convert|829.84|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} in January 2009.<ref name="Biz24720090117" />

[[Image:Worlds tallest buildings, 1884.jpg|thumb|220px|right|Diagram of the Principal High Buildings of the Old World, 1884.]]
Notable mentions include the [[Lighthouse of Alexandria|Pharos (lighthouse) of Alexandria]], built in the third century BC and estimated between 115–135&nbsp;m (383–440&nbsp;ft). It was the world's tallest non-pyramidal building for many centuries. Another notable mention includes the [[Jetavanaramaya]] [[stupa]] in [[Anuradhapura]], Sri Lanka, which was built in the third century, and was similarly tall at {{convert|122|m|ft|abbr=on}}. These were both the world's tallest or second tallest non-pyramidal buildings for over a thousand years.

The tallest ''secular'' building between the collapse of the Pharos and the erection of the [[Washington Monument]] may have been the [[Torre del Mangia]] in [[Siena]], which is {{convert|102|m|ft|abbr=on}} tall, and was constructed in the first half of the fourteenth century, and the {{convert|97|m|ft|abbr=on}} tall [[Torre degli Asinelli]] in [[Bologna]], also Italy, built between 1109 and 1119.

Higher observation decks have existed on [[Summit (topography)|mountain tops]] or cliffs, rather than on tall structures. For example, the [[Royal Gorge Bridge]] in [[Cañon City, Colorado]], USA, was constructed in 1929 spanning the [[Royal Gorge]] at a height of {{convert|321|m|ft|abbr=on}} above the [[Arkansas River]].  The [[Grand Canyon Skywalk]], constructed in 2007, protrudes {{convert|70|ft|m|abbr=on|disp=flip}} over the west rim of the Grand Canyon and is approximately {{convert|1100|m|ft|abbr=on}} above the [[Colorado River]], making it the highest of these types of structures.{{Citation needed|date=January 2011}}

===Timeline of guyed structures on land===
As most of the tallest structures are [[guyed mast]]s, here is a timeline of world's tallest guyed masts, since the beginning of radio technology.

As many large guyed masts were destroyed at the end of World War II, the dates for the years between 1945 and 1950 may be incorrect. If [[Wusung Radio Tower]] survived World War II, it was the tallest guyed structure shortly after World War II.

==Tallest structures, freestanding structures, and buildings==
[[File:BurjKhalifaHeight.svg|thumb|300px|Burj Khalifa compared to some other well-known tall structures.]]
{{See also|Timeline of three tallest structures in the world}}

The list categories are:
*The '''structures (supported)''' list uses pinnacle height and includes architectural structures of any type that might use some external support constructions like cables and are fully built in air. Only the three tallest are listed, as more than fifty US [[TV masts]] have stated heights of 600–610&nbsp;metres (1969–2000&nbsp;ft).
*The '''structures (media supported)''' list uses pinnacle height and includes architectural structures of any type that are not totally built in the air but are using support from other, denser media like salt water. All structures greater than {{convert|500|m|0}} are listed.
*The '''freestanding structures''' list uses pinnacle height and includes structures over {{convert|400|m|0}} that do not use [[guy-wire]]s or other external supports. This means truly free standing on its own or, in similar sense, non-supported structures.
*The '''building''' list uses architectural height (excluding antennas) and includes only buildings, defined as consisting of habitable floors. Both of these follow [[CTBUH]] guidelines. All [[Skyscraper#Skyscraper_and_supertall|supertall]] buildings (300&nbsp;m and higher) are listed.

Notes:
* Seven buildings appear on the ''freestanding structures'' category list with different heights than of another category. This is due to the different measurement specifications of those lists.
* Only current heights and, where reasonable, target heights are listed. Historical heights of structures that no longer exist, for example, for having collapsed, are excluded.

==Under construction and on-hold==
Numerous supertall skyscrapers are in various stages of proposal, planning, or construction. Each of the following are under construction and, depending on the order of completion, could become the world's tallest building or structure in at least one category:
* [[India Tower]] is on-hold in [[Mumbai]]'s [[Marine Lines]], is expected to be {{convert|700|m|ft|abbr=on}} tall. This tower (currently on hold) will be used for hotel and residential. Construction was started in 2010.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thenational.ae/thenationalconversation/industry-insights/property/economic-downturn-barely-dents-appetite-for-super-tall |title=Economic downturn barely dents appetite for super-tall |publisher=The National |date=2011-01-04 |accessdate=2011-03-27}}</ref> and expected to complete by 2016.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://buildingdb.ctbuh.org/?do=building&building_id=9199 |title=India Tower: CTBUH Tall Buildings Database |publisher=[[CTBUH]] |accessdate=2011-03-27}}</ref><ref>http://www.pozzocrete.co.in/index.php?id=69&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=148&tx_ttnews[backPid]=4&cHash=95ebc8b5da</ref>
* The [[Pingan International Finance Centre]], under construction in Shenzhen, is expected to be {{convert|648|m|ft|abbr=on}}. Completion is expected in 2015.
* The [[Shanghai Tower]], under construction in Shanghai, next to the [[Shanghai World Financial Center]] and the [[Jin Mao Building]], is expected to be {{convert|632|m|ft|abbr=on}}. Completion is expected in 2014.
* The [[Abraj Al Bait Towers]] have been topped out in [[Mecca]], Saudi Arabia, in 2011. The tallest tower is {{convert|601|m|ft|abbr=on}} tall, and is currently the second-tallest building in the world. It is also the [[List of largest buildings in the world|largest building in the world]] with a floor area of {{convert|1500000|m2|abbr=on|sigfig=4}} and the [[List of tallest hotels in the world|tallest hotel in the world]].
* The [[Jakarta Tower]] (Menara Jakarta) is on-hold in [[Jakarta]], Indonesia. It is expected to be {{convert|558|m|ft|abbr=on}} tall up to the antenna, thus may be tallest concrete tower. It was expected to be completed in 2012, but has been put on hold.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=208756&page=19 |title=JAKARTA &#124; Jakarta Tower &#124; 558m &#124; 1831ft &#124; On Hold – Page 19 |publisher=[[SkyscraperCity]] |date=2009-12-30 |accessdate=2011-03-27}}</ref>
* [[One World Trade Center]], currently under-construction in New York City, will be the tallest building in the United States. Also, it will become the world's tallest all-office building. Its spire will top out at {{convert|1776|ft|m|abbr=on}}.
* Construction of the [[Pentominium]], in Dubai, is currently on hold.  If construction resumes, the building is expected to be {{convert|516|m|ft|abbr=on}} tall and have 120 floors, which would make it the tallest all-residential building in the world. Construction began in 2007, with completion expected in 2013, but was halted in тамыз 2011.

==Proposed==
Many proposed structures have not yet been built, and many probably never will be built. See [[proposed tall buildings and structures]] for structures that have been or are being proposed.
