Pictured here, which city's skyline boasts the second-tallest building in the world?

Completed in 2015, the Shanghai Tower's list of records includes tallest building in China, world's tallest observation deck, and world's second-fastest elevator. Even more impressive is that the tower's unusual twisting form was actually a cost-saver! The curved corners and tapering shape increase wind resistance, allowing a much lighter structure (to the tune of $58 million in savings on materials).
