MIAMI'S NEW SKYLINE: FROM 5 SKYSCRAPERS IN 1999 TO 71 IN 2012
It's the gateway to the Caribbean and Latin America and the city's embrace of globalization has fueled its growth as the major banking and business hub of the American southeast.
Wired magazine - December 2006
The world's cities are getting taller – and fast. Between 2001 and 2012, almost as many skyscrapers will be constructed as were built in the entire 20th century.
While vertical metropolises like Hong Kong and New York continue to mint monoliths, the most dramatic changes are happening in lower-profile places. Thanks to globalization and the steady migration of people to urban cores, cities that once had only a few high-rises are morphing into mini-Manhattans. Miami, for example, had only five skyscrapers (buildings more than 150 meters, or 492 feet, tall) in 1999 but will have 71 by 2012. Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, will soar from two in 1999 to 90 by 2012. Here's a snapshot of the world's fastest-changing skylines.
