The nomination of one structure versus another being the first skyscraper, and why, depends on what factors are stressed. Steel skeleton construction has allowed for today's supertall skyscrapers now being built worldwide. Some point to Philadelphia's 10-storey Jayne Building (1849вЂ“50) as a proto-skyscraper, or to New York's seven-floor Equitable Life Building, built in 1870, but the design of their structures inherently limited their height. The first steel-frame skyscraper was the Home Insurance Building, originally 10 stories with a height of 42В m or 138В ft, in Chicago in 1885 two additional stories were added.

The term 'skyscraper' was first applied to buildings of steel-framed construction of at least 10 storeys in the late 19th century, a result of public amazement at the tall buildings being built in major American cities like Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, Detroit, and St. Д«y some measures, what came to be known as a 'skyscraper' first appeared in Chicago with the 1885 completion of the world's first largely steel-frame structure, the Home Insurance Building. To appear more slender, allow less wind exposure and transmit more daylight to the ground, many skyscrapers have a design with setbacks, which in some cases is also structurally required.ДЄs of January 2020, only nine cities in the world have more than 100 skyscrapers that are 150В m (492В ft) or taller: Hong Kong (355), Shenzhen (289), New York (284), Dubai (201), Shanghai (163), Tokyo (158), Mumbai (151), Chicago (130), Chongqing (127), and Guangzhou (118).

Modern skyscrapers often have a tubular structure, and are designed to act like a hollow cylinder to resist wind, seismic, and other lateral loads. However, skyscrapers can have curtain walls that mimic conventional walls with a small surface area of windows.

Modern skyscrapers' walls are not load-bearing, and most skyscrapers are characterised by large surface areas of windows made possible by steel frames and curtain walls. Some early skyscrapers have a steel frame that enables the construction of load-bearing walls taller than of those made of reinforced concrete. These curtain walls either bear on the framework below or are suspended from the framework above, rather than resting on load-bearing walls of conventional construction. One common feature of skyscrapers is having a steel framework that supports curtain walls. Skyscrapers may host offices, hotels, residential spaces, and retail spaces. Historically, the term first referred to buildings with between 10 and 20 stories when these types of buildings began to be constructed in the 1880s. Skyscrapers are very tall high-rise buildings. Modern sources currently define skyscrapers as being at least 100 metres or 150 metres in height, though there is no universally accepted definition. The setbacks at various heights are a typical skyscraper feature.ДЄ skyscraper is a tall continuously habitable building having multiple floors. Completed in 2009, the Burj Khalifa, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is currently the tallest building in the world, with a height of 829.8 metres (2,722В ft).
