A little more perspective
The Skyscraper Center distinguishes the 492-meter architectural top from a 494.3-meter highest tip. This illustration and record use the architectural frame; rooftop technical equipment above it is excluded.
Shanghai Tower’s 632-meter crown stands 140 meters higher than this architectural reference. The trapezoidal opening does not subtract from height: the upper edge of its frame remains the endpoint.
