🏙️ Global Skyscraper Race

Explore the global skyline race on a deck.gl GlobeView. 60+ supertall and megatall skyscrapers are rendered as ColumnLayer columns scaled by real height — from Burj Khalifa (828m) to Jeddah Tower (1,008m, under construction). Filter by status (complete, under construction, proposed), zoom to any building for height stats, and see which countries are leading the vertical race. A live leaderboard ranks the top 10 tallest structures by year of completion.
