America’s Skyscraper Shortage
America’s Skyscraper Shortage
Estimated Reading Time: 3 minutes
TL;DR
America’s skyscrapers aren’t keeping pace with dramatic new towers being constructed in China and the Middle East. The first proven exascale supercomputer is now here. And physicists have used sound waves to implement neural network inference.

Only a few of the world’s 10 tallest buildings now reside in democratic countries. China and the Middle East increasingly dominate skyscraper construction, with Malaysia the only democratic country keeping pace. Skyscraper construction, like space exploration, forces development of new science, from improved simulation algorithms to new materials science advances. The US may want to consider incentivizing new skyscrapers.
