Modern sources typically define skyscrapers as being either 100m(328ft) or 150m(492ft), however there is no universally accepted definition. The most extensive database concerning worldwide building information generally uses 100m(328ft) as the standard, therefore we used the 100m marker. There is even greater variation in the definition of the term "Highrise". Considering the fact that it is becoming increasingly rare for any building shorter than 45m(approximating150ft) to be categorized as a "highrise" we use the marker of 45m to denote highrise. In generally there are significant inconsistencies in the databases concerning this designation (not only among cities within the same country, but intracity also ). More recently, most new buildings under 45m(approx 150ft) are generally categorized as "Lowrise". Usually City A will literally have hundreds of buildings between 31-45m classified as highrise ; City B will literally have hundreds of buildings between 31-45m (with the same floor count) all classified as lowrise. Oddly, City A will have also have a hundred buildings in the same range (31m-45m) classified as lowrise. The amount of variations in this datafield is remarkable. Moreover, there should be a global push amongst those who maintain skyline databases to standardize the terms used in the industry. For all practical purpose, I suggest adding two new terms to the lexicon; "Skyrise " and also "Starscraper" instead of supertall. Lowrise for buildings under 49m Highrise for buildings 50m to 99m "Skyrise" for buildings 100m - 149m Skyscraper for buildings 150m-299m "Starscraper" for buildings 300m and greater Thanks for reading down this far. :-) Please Subscribe, comment and provide constructive feedback.
