The tallest structure in the world is the Burj Khalifa, a skyscraper at . Listed are guyed masts (such as telecommunication masts), self-supporting towers (such as the CN Tower), skyscrapers (such as the Willis Tower), oil platforms, electricity transmission towers, and bridge support towers. This list is organized by absolute height. See History of the world's tallest structures, Tallest structures by category, and List of tallest buildings for additional information about these types of structures.
Terminology
Terminological and listing criteria follow Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat definitions. Guyed masts are differentiated from towers – the latter not featuring any guy wires or other support structures; and buildings are differentiated from towers – the former having at least 50% of occupiable floor space although both are self-supporting structures.
Lists by height
This list includes structures of all types over 350 meters (1148 feet). Other structures below 350 meters are included only if they are noteworthy (specific world records, former world records, continental records), freestanding, and over 100 meters (328 feet).
For all structures, the pinnacle height is given, so the height of skyscrapers may differ from the values at List of skyscrapers, such as the John Hancock Center being ranked above the Empire State Building. Tension-leg platforms are not included.
