Cities in the Sky: The Quest to Build the World’s Tallest Skyscrapers is a nonfiction book by economist Jason M. Barr that examines skyscrapers through the lens of urban economics, history, politics, and engineering. Rather than treating tall buildings only as architectural objects, the book asks why cities build them, how they are financed, and what their growth reveals about land scarcity, concentrated economic activity, and global competition. Barr moves from the early skyscraper era in Chicago and New York to later centers such as London, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Dubai, showing that the race upward has always depended on local conditions as much as on ambition. The book also revisits common myths about the first skyscrapers and the development of supertall towers, offering a broad survey of how vertical cities emerged and why they remain controversial. It is written for general readers who want a rigorous but accessible explanation of why skyscrapers matter.
