A tall building, often referred to as a skyscraper, is a structure that significantly exceeds the height of typical buildings in its vicinity. These buildings are designed for various purposes, including residential, commercial, and mixed-use spaces. They often feature advanced engineering and architectural techniques to ensure stability and safety. Tall buildings are usually equipped with elevators to facilitate movement between floors, as climbing stairs would be impractical. Many iconic tall buildings, such as the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and the Empire State Building in New York City, are recognized for their unique designs and contributions to city skylines.
