I thought the Belastingdienstkantoor was the only sky scraper in Amsterdam...

How high is a sky scraper? I don't believe Amsterdam has 191 sky scrapers.

The somewhat arbitrary term skyscraper should not be confused with the slightly less arbitrary term highrise, defined by the Emporis Data Committee as "a building which is 35 meters [115 feet] or greater in height, and is divided at regular intervals into occupiable floors" [1]. All skyscrapers are highrises, but only the tallest highrises are skyscrapers. Habitability separates skyscrapers from towers and masts. Some structural engineers define a highrise as any vertical construction for which wind is a more significant load factor than weight is. Note that this criterion fits not only highrises but some other tall structures, such as towers.

as for the biggest city thing:

Mexico sure has more than 8 mil overall, but it might depend on how you count. If you strictly count the city itself, it might be "only" that much, but the large urban sprawl has more than 20 million inhabitants. From what I know it goes

1. Mexico or Tokio
2. Mexico or Tokio
3. Sao Paolo or Mumbay/Bombay
4. Sao Paolo or Mumbay/Bombay

other cities that come close would be Shanghai and Buenos Aires I think

city with the largest area on earth is L.A.
