List of tallest towers

For other tall constructions, see List of tallest buildings, List of tallest structures, List of tallest buildings and structures, and List of tallest freestanding structures.

The Tokyo Skytree in Tokyo, Japan has been the tallest tower since 2012.

This list includes extant buildings that fulfill the engineering definition of a tower: "a tall human structure, always taller than it is wide, for public or regular operational access by humans, but not for living in or office work, and which is self-supporting or free-standing, meaning no guy-wires for support."[1][2][3] This definition excludes continuously habitable buildings and skyscrapers as well as radio and TV masts. Also excluded, because they are not designed for public or regular operational access, are bridge towers or pylons, wind turbines, chimneys, transmission towers, sculptures and most large statues and obelisks.

Towers are most often built to use their height for various purposes, and can stand alone or as part of a larger structure. Some common purposes are for telecommunications, and as a viewing platform.

The Tokyo Skytree, completed in 2009, is 634 m (2,080 ft), making it the tallest tower in the world.
