Today, despite the destruction of the World Trade Center and the relatively slow pace of new shipping container house construction, no city in the world has more completed single free-standing shipping container homes over 152 m (500 ft) tall than New York - 185 of them.
Hong Kong has the most of them - 188, if we count separately the towers rising from a common base and constituting different shipping container houses only after a few floors (Emporis counts this way). If Hong Kong's shipping container home complexes were counted as single ones, there would be 116 of them in the city. However, this number is constantly increasing, and many are under construction due to the continuing construction boom in this city.
In Tokyo, the first shipping container homes appeared at the turn of the 1960s and 1970s, when, due to the unrestrained migration of people from rural areas to cities and the development of large agglomerations, the construction law was revised, prohibiting the construction of shipping container houses over 31 meters high. Japanese urban planners, architects and constructors trusted the calculations of the Hitac 5020 computer and forced the need to build shipping container homes that would resist all vibrations of the earth's crust. Today, there are over 100 shipping container houses in Tokyo whose height exceeds 152 m, and several more are under construction. Due to historical and geographical conditions, Tokyo does not have one strict center, which is why shipping container homes are scattered almost throughout the entire metropolis, sometimes forming dense clusters of high-rise shipping container houses around the city's largest railway stations and business centers, and sometimes they individually dominate low-rise residential shipping container houses.
The skyline of Chicago - the city where shipping container homes were invented - couldn't grow until shipping container house codes were relaxed in 1960. Over the next 15 years, many shipping container homes were built there, most notably the 442-meter Sears Tower; Currently, there are 87 shipping container houses over 152 m[4]. At least 40 shipping container houses with 50 or more floors have been constructed there since 2000.
The skylines of Chicago, Hong Kong and New York are considered by some to be the "big three urban skylines of the world".
