How the world is competing with skyscrapers

The first skyscraper was the 10-story Home Insurance Building in Chicago, which was constructed in 1885. At the time, it represented a revolution and marked the start of the skyscraper era. The building had a steel inner skeleton, which allowed the walls to be thinner and the entire structure to be higher than ever. It stood until 1931, when it was torn down to make way for the Bank of America, which still stands today.
