europe (including russia) was a MUCH smaller piece of that puzzle.
check this out, according to the SSP data base, in 1990:
US/Canada: 474 >150m / 12 >300m
rest of the world: 158 >150m / 1 >150m

Yeah, as late as 1990, skyscrapers = US/Canada. Even well into the 1990’s.
Europe is worth mentioned as half of it has been developed for a very long time and they build no skyscrapers and suddenly they decide they should be some as well. But of course, most of change came from East/Southeast Asia and Middle East.
