 This cluster of skyscrapers and towers isn’t for those with a fear of heights. From towering designs that are just concepts to in-the-flesh architecture, these incredible feats of construction are eye-popping global landmarks. My favorites in this series of skyscrapers and towers are the designs that feature sky-high green parks. Imagine playing a soccer or baseball game 50 stories above ground!
