There are around 30 buildings presently in the city (built & U/C together) which is 100m+, while it has around 200 buildings in the range of 75m - 100m.
The tallest one @ 245m has just commenced construction.

By Emporis rule (Highrise is a building with 12 floors & above), number of Highrises would be around 750.
Yes, Kolkata is a very densely built up city, be it residential areas or commercial areas.

OK. I checked the Indonesian forum recently. Surabaya is beautiful!!. And Jakarta is simply awesome, such a great skyline & skyscrapers.

Yes, Salt Lake stadium would fall on the left side of this picture. But it is pretty far from there about 10-12 kms away.

thanks samrat for your great pict

You are welcome. Really appreciate your love for the city.
