Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada has more high-rise buildings per capita than most North American metropolitan centres with populations exceeding 1,000,000. Vancouver's population density is the 4th-highest in North America and the city has more residential high-rises per capita than any other city on the continent.〔 There are roughly 650 high-rise buildings that equal or exceed .,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tall Buildings of Vancouver )〕 and roughly 50 buildings that equal or exceed 100 metres (328 ft). Vancouver has 27 protected view corridors which limit the construction of tall buildings which interfere with the line of sight to the North Shore Mountains, the downtown skyline, and the waters of English Bay and the Strait of Georgia. The tallest building in Vancouver is the 62-storey, Living Shangri-La and represents the city's efforts to add visual interest into Vancouver's skyline. The Private Residences at Hotel Georgia completed in 2012 at and 48 stories is currently the second-tallest in the city.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Private Residences )〕 One Wall Centre, at tall, with 48 storeys, is currently the city's third tallest building. One Wall Centre has the distinction of being the first building in the world to use a tuned liquid column damper to control wind vibrations.〔 One tower currently under construction, Trump Vancouver at 188 metres will become the city's 2nd tallest building when completed in 2016. Vancouver's history of skyscrapers began with the Dominion Building (1909), the Sun Tower (1911) (originally named the World Tower, then the News-Advertiser Tower, after the newspaper it was home to in each case), the Vancouver Block (1912), the second Hotel Vancouver (1916) and the Marine Building (1929). The Dominion Building, Sun Tower, and Marine Building were, in succession, the tallest building in the British Empire at the time.〔''Early Vancouver'', Maj. J.S. "Skit" Mathews, Vancouver Archives〕〔''Vancouver: From Milltown to Metropolis'', Alan Morley〕〔NB because of the terrain of the city's downtown peninsula, which is a large hill, the tallest is not always the highest, and the Marine Building remained the tallest structure even though its prominence on the city skyline was not as high as that of the Hotel Vancouver (at 77m vs the Sun Tower's 84m or the Marine Building's 98m.〕 The third Hotel Vancouver was completed in 1939 at tall, and was the first building to have stood taller than 100 m (328 ft) in the city.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver )〕 Building construction remained slow in the city until the late 1960s, other than the completion of the new BC Electric headquarters (soon renamed BC Hydro headquarters, and today the Electra condominiums). From 1968 to 1981, Vancouver witnessed a major expansion of skyscraper and high-rise construction. Many of the city's office towers were completed during this period, such as the Harbour Centre, Bentall Centre, Royal Centre, Granville Square and Pacific Centre office tower/mall complexes.〔〔 A ten-year lull in building construction came after the expansion, though Vancouver experienced a larger second building expansion beginning in 1991 and continuing into the present.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Vancouver )〕 In the last two decades Vancouver's pioneering urbanism, with its density and innovative developments, has been emulated by major cities throughout the world. As part of the city's push for liveable high-density areas (called Vancouverism by planning theorists),〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Canadian Architect )〕 many mixed-use and residential buildings were built, such as Concord Pacific Place, the largest master-planned residential complex in North America.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Concord Pacific Place, Vancouver )〕 One Wall Centre and Living Shangri-La were the city's first buildings to break the and marks, respectively.〔〔 ==Tallest buildings== This list ranks Vancouver skyscrapers that stand at least tall, based on standard height measurement.
