• The world’s tallest building: who held the record, and for how long

  

  From the Great Pyramid to Jeddah Tower: I followed the title of world’s tallest building through time. Lincoln Cathedral held it for 238 years, New York for 65, and since 1998 it has been in Asia, where 81 of the 98 buildings of 350 m or more now stand.
