Cities with the Tallest Buildings on a Map

There are 10 cities around the world that have buildings over 500 meters (about 1,640 feet) tall. How many can you name?

As you enter each city's name, its building's outline will be filled in on the corresponding portion of the map

Some building names include the name of their city, represented by a blank space in the clues

Source. This list excludes non-building structures, like towers. Only completed buildings are included, so Malaysia's Merdeka 118 doesn't count... yet!

This is a very good quiz and nominated! I'd like to see this style of quiz with other concepts (deserts, forests, mountain ranges etc)

One small 'issue' is that North America and the ocean surrounding it are different colors from the asian continent. Just thought id point that out even though its not a huge issue.

what about the cn tower

Level 59

The list I took these answers from excludes "non-building structures," such as communication and observation towers. That's why CN Tower (and some other notable tall structures, like the Tokyo Skytree and Guangzhou Tower) don't make the list :)
