Skyscrapers

Skyscrapers
are very tall buildings. A number of organisations define a
skyscraper to be a building with a minimum height of 150 meters.
Skyscrapers are habitable buildings and are used for residential
and/or commercial purposes. The
word "scraper" means an instrument or a tool to scrape (remove)
something. The photo above shows the skyscrapers in Busan
South Korea. The Petronas Twin
Towers in Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia
(see photo below) are the tallest pair of twin skyscrapers in the
world. Hong
Kong is the city with the greatest
number of skyscrapers.
