Tallest Structure
The following structures are all taller than the tallest buildings listed above but they are not classified as buildings because mainly they are tv transmission towers without proper habitable floors and are supported by guy ropes. The CN tower is not classified as a building because only the observation deck is habitable, and the main purpose of the tower is a communication mast.
