The Southern Hemisphere, which comprises parts of South America, Africa, Southeast Asia and Oceania, has until recently not been home to many tall buildings outside of Australia and South Africa.

Today, cities like Jakarta, Melbourne and São Paulo have some of the most dominant skylines in the world.
