Usage notes

In general, the numbers cited for the number of buildings above a certain height, if unsourced, should correspond exactly to the table in the article. If the count cannot be corroborated by the table in the article (for example, when the count includes high-rises below the table’s cut-off height), an appropriate source such as CTBUH or SkyscraperPage should be cited.

When updating the count, make sure the table agrees with the number of buildings in the infobox.

Parameters for whom the number is “0” should not be included.

Years

If the number is expected to change frequently, it may be helpful to append the year the count was taken in brackets (e.g. 37 (2025)) to let viewers know how up-to-date the figure is. Editors who recognize that the count is outdated can then update the count.

Ranking

For the 150 m+ parameter and above, if a city is known to be in the top 10 in the world, the city’s rank could be indicated in brackets next to the number, after the year (e.g. 564 (2025) (1st)). This is optional.

Determining the number of buildings

If you’re citing from SkyscraperPage, you can quickly find out how many buildings a city has over a certain height by clicking on “Skyscraper Map”, selecting only “built”, and sliding the minimum height bar to the desired height (usually 100 m or 150 m for the purposes of this infobox).

Alternatively, click on “Skyscraper Diagram” in the top left of the page. Scroll down and select “built” and unselect “construction”, “proposed”, and “destroyed”. Select “high-rise” for structure type, enter a minimum height, and click “all buildings” for drawing selection. Click search and the number of valid buildings will be shown above the building diagrams.
