Taipei, Taiwan buit 2004 stories101 height m508 f1,667
Taipei 101, in the Hsinyi dist., Taipei, Taiwan; also known as the Taipei Financial Center. With 101 stories and reaching 1,671 ft (509 m) high, Taipei 101 became the world's tallest building when it was topped out in 2003, surpassing the Petronas Towers; construction, which began in 1999, was completed in 2004. Designed by C. Y. Lee & Partners, the multiuse steel-and-glass skyscraper echoes a traditional Chinese pagoda with its soaring podium base, eight tiers of eight stories (a number that is a homophone for prosperous growth in Chinese), and narrow pinnacle tower and spire. A 18-ft (5.5-m), 882-ton (800-metric-ton), ball-shaped damper located near the top counteracts swaying during earthquakes and typhoons.

I am many times in Shanghai. Shanghai build at this moment the "by far" highest Tower in the world. This tower is at this moment in construction and in the harbour of Shanghai. It is a building that is shaped like a standing submarine. The bulding will be at the end 1080 meters. it is a building for people to live in it, including cinemas, Sportcenters, shoppingcenters and many other facilities. Estimated 200.000 people will live in it. The Constructeurs of this building believe that it is earthquake proof. They expect that the building is finish at around 2015.

The Petronas towers in Maaysia were the tallest buildings at one stage, certainly dwarfs any US / European structure.
However a recent building in Tapei (Taiwan) eclipsed PEtronas, and I think there is a new building in China (Shanghaii?) whoch may be bigger
