Supertall: How the World’s Tallest Buildings Are Reshaping Our Cities and Our Lives

byStefan Al

The global boom in skyscrapers―why it’s happening now, how they’re made, and what they do to cities and people. The argument in Supertall develops through archival sources, narrative history, and voices from the period, attending to both broad patterns and the revealing details that resist them. That perspective connects how the world’s tallest buildings are reshaping our cities and our lives to larger questions in architecture and history, without losing sight of the people living through the consequences. Rather than reducing its subject to a single lesson, Supertall preserves its contradictions and shows why they remain important.
