A skyscraper is a tall, continuously habitable building. There is no minimum height to be one of them and in many big cities you can see a skyscraper. One famous city for its skyscrapers is New York, with a very popular skyline many times seen in the movies.
Maybe the most famous there is The Empire State Building, built in 1931. It has more than 100 floors and was finished in 1932. Another famous skyscrapers in this city were the Twin Towers, which were destroyed in 2001 in a terrorist attack. Everybody remember the planes crashing against the towers. It was a very sad moment for the entire world.
Today, the skyscrapers are more modern as for example in Dubai where those building are made with the newest materials, although they will be used mainly as offices.
