I got curious about how Toronto's construction boom compared to other booms around the world. So after a bit of research at SSP, I have come up with the following list of the top 25 cities with the most buildings currently under construction, 100 or more metres in height:
1. (86) Manila, Philippines
2. (64) Bangkok, Thailand
3. (51) Toronto, Canada
4. (50) Mumbai, India
5. (44) Istanbul, Turkey
6. (35) Abu Dhabi, UAE
7. (33) Dubai, UAE
7. (33) Tianjin, China
9. (30) Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
10. (25) Tokyo, Japan
11. (23) Panama, Panama
12. (22) Jakarta, Indonesia
13. (18) Shanghai, China
14. (17) Hong Kong, China
14. (17) Shenyang, China
16. (16) Hanoi, Vietnam
16. (16) Singapore
18. (15) Moscow, Russia
18. (15) New York, USA
18. (15) Seoul, South Korea
21. (14) Mexico City, Mexico
22. (13) Taipei, Taiwan
23. (12) Dalian, China
24. (11) London, England
25. (10) Chongqing, China
25. (10) Melbourne, Australia
This list takes no account of how much over 100m in height the buildings are, 110m counts just as much as 510m. But it is clear that Toronto is one of the top cities in the world right now, in terms of high-rise construction activity.
edit -- added Istanbul, Turkey, which I had somehow missed
