Hong Kong has 7,417 skyscrapers, more than any other city, according to a report released in 2005 by Emporis, a firm that tracks the construction of high-rises. By its definition, a building must be over 35 metres tall to qualify as a skyscraper or tall building.
        In this edition of Tall Buildings in Hong Kong, China Trend Building Press reports on six outstanding tall buildings completed in recent years. With more than 230 digital pages and 400 images, this eBook covers every aspect of the planning, design and construction of these projects.
