Three of the World's Top 10 highest towers nestle side by side in Shanghai :
Jin Mao Building, Shanghai World Financial Center and The Shanghai Tower (under construction, already topped out, expected completion 2015)
The almost equally high (when measured to the top of it's telecommunications spire) Oriental Pearl Tower is behind me !

Nice shot! Structural engineering firms for all three are American, with two having Chicago connections. Architects are also American.

Do you know if there will be a viewing platform/floor on the Shanghai tower?
I was a bit disappointed last time we went up the bottle opener. dirty and slanted windows gave some terrible reflections even with a cpl filter. But was worth it over all.
