World map of all 250+m / 820+ft buildings (completed, u/c & proposed)

Inspired by the 500+ feet thread, I originally planned to make a map with all 500+ feet buildings in the world. But it soon became obvious that there are far too many in Asia to put them all in a map. 1000+ft on the other hand would have meant that there is only a handful of cities outside of Asia which are marked on the map, so I settled on a 250m (820ft) limit.

It is quite impressive to see how China is totally dominating the skyscraper race these days with Shenzhen having by far the most 250+ meters buildings completed, u/c or proposed.
Another huge surprise was that not a Chinese city but Mumbai has more 250+ meter buildings u/c at the moment than any other city worldwide.

Dark Blue = Completed
Red = U/C
Pink = Proposed
6 pixel = 1 building
