The fourth lecture discusses the development of the skyscraper in the late-twentieth century, with a focus on tall buildings erected in the world’s established and emerging financial centers. The lecture moves through a discussion of key projects in New York, Chicago, London, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Tokyo, and concludes with a survey of the first skyscrapers built in China in the wake of the economic reforms of the 1980s. These skylines are contextualized with a discussion of the consolidation of global financial centers. The lecture concludes with a deeper look at the urban character of the high-tech, global business district.
