Exactly that's the thing, you don't need the worlds tallest these days to be a top skyscraper city.
If that 1km thing goes up in Jeddah even Shanghai's tallest won't look that big in comparison, and Shanghai is 15 times the skyscraper city (or lack thereof) that Jeddah is, so it doesn't really matter. I don't want some huge ass thing all by itself. NYC will be an Island of supertalls, what more can anyone ask for?
