HISTORY OF THE WORLD’S TALLEST BUILDINGS
Currently, the world’s tallest building is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. It stands at 2,722 feet or 829.8 meters. Over the coming years, this record will be broken, as countries continue building towards the skies.

You may be surprised that the title of the world’s tallest structure does not change hands that often. In fact, only 19 man-made structures have ever held the title throughout our history. An astounding fact when you realise how many tall structures have been constructed over the last 100 years.

Today, I would like to walk you through the tallest structures in world history: From Burj Khalifa right through to the amazing creek tower in Dubai.
