This breathtaking new compilation showcases the latest tall buildings in China, including the cities of Beijing, Shanghai and emerging super-cities in the provinces.

These skyscrapers are a fitting symbol of China's new-found prosperity, ambition, and architectural flair.
Author Biography
Georges Binder is the managing director of Buildings & Data SA. The Brussels-based firm specializes in research, marketing and editorial and media services for architects and developers. A 35-year special interest in high-rise buildings led Georges-who has compiled a comprehensive data bank that includes facts, plans, original marketing brochures and images of thousands of high-rises and other major significant projects from around the world-to be involved in several publications, research, exhibitions and editorial activities focusing on tall buildings. In October 2012, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) recognized Georges as a CTBUH Fellow to honour his commitment to the well-known Chicago-based organization as well as the sharing of his tall buildings knowledge.
