A skyscraper is a multi-story structure that is continually livable. Skyscrapers are currently defined as structures that are at least 150 meters or 592ft tall, while there is no widely agreed definition. Skyscrapers are very tall high-rise structures. When these sorts of structures started to be developed in the 1880s, the name was initially used to buildings with between 10 and 20 floors. Offices, hotels, residential areas, and retail spaces may all be found in skyscrapers.
