The Petronas Twin Towers (also known as the Petronas Towers), in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, were once the world's tallest buildings when measured from the level of the main entrance to the structural or architectural top.
They have since been unseated by the Taipei 101 on October 17, 2003. The Petronas Twin Towers are currently the tallest twin towers in the world, and they lay claim to being the world's tallest high rise of the 20th century. Critics point out that this applies to only one of four height categories defined by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat - although the three additional height categories were only introduced as the tower neared completion in 1996, as opposed to the original category which had been in use since 1969.

At 1,670 ft he Taipei 101 Towers in Taipei, Taiwan is the tallest, but only because of a 60 foot spire on the roof. (The Petroans Tower is 1,483 ft., also augmented by spires on the roof.)
The Sears Tower in Chicago (1,454ft.) has the highest habitable space with the top floor being at 1,431 ft.
The plans for the Freedom Towers in New York City (to replace the World Trade Center) is planned to be 1,776 ft.
The tallest non-inhabited structure is the CN Tower in Canada at 1,815 ft.

no, but which building is depends on your definition of buildings. many radio/tv towers are a lot higher. the taipei 101 is generally considered the tallest skyscraper
