Melbourne Skyscrapers Editorial Photo

Melbourne will soon have Australia`s tallest skyline, with more than 100 skyscrapers higher than 100 metres planned or already under construction. The rush of mostly residential towers is set to double the number of very tall buildings in the central city within just a few years. Melbourne is the capital and most populous city of the Australian state of Victoria, and the second-most populous city in Australia. The name `Melbourne` refers to an urban agglomeration spanning 9,900 km² which comprises the broader metropolitan area, as well as being the common name for its city centre. The metropolis is located on the large natural bay of Port Phillip and expands into the hinterlands towards the Dandenong and Macedon mountain ranges, Mornington Peninsula and Yarra Valley. Melbourne consists of 31 municipalities. It has a population of 4,529,500 as of 2015, and its inhabitants are called Melburnians.
