I am fond of superlatives. For example, what is the world's most valuable company? Saudi Aramco, estimated at up to 7 trillion USD[1][2][3]. Or the world's most valuable publicly traded company ever? PetroChina, which reached a market capitalization of a trillion USD in 2007[4]. Which city has the most skyscrapers? Dubai, if you count only buildings higher than 1/4 km. Hong Kong, if you also count buildings higher than 150m[5] (or 100m, or 35m). Here my table of cities with at least 100 completed or topped-out skyscrapers above 150m (2011):

More information City, >=600m ...
City >=600m >=500m >=450m >=400m >=350m >=300m >=250m >=200m >=150m
Dubai 1 1 1 1 5 14 27 48 121
Hong Kong - - 1 2 4 6 15 52 272
Shanghai - - 2 3 3 4 16 45 109
Chicago - - - 2 2 6 12 27 110
New York City - - - - 2 4 10 52 223
