What is a Scyscraper?

acording to Wikiopedia.org:
A skyscraper is a very tall, continuously habitable building. Although there is no official definition,
a height of approximately at least 150 metres or 500 feet is often used as a criterion for a building to
qualify as a skyscraper. Other criteria like shape and appearance also affect whether or not a building
is considered a skyscraper.

acording to sv.wikipedia.org (swedish verison) it is:
byggnad (höghus) som reser sig märkbart över omgivningen. Ordet syftar på att byggnaden tycks så hög att
den "skrapar vid skyn" och myntades först på engelska (skyscraper). För statistik brukar den internationella
definitionen av vad som är en skyskrapa vara att den ska vara minst 35 meter hög och ha minst 12 våningar.
Därmed diskvalificeras många höga byggnader som katedraler, radiomaster och torn

and thats about the same as a highrise in the english version:
The somewhat arbitrary term skyscraper should not be confused with the slightly less arbitrary term highrise,
defined by the Emporis Data Committee as "a building which is 35 metres (115 feet) or greater in height,
and is divided at regular intervals into occupiable floors

and since this is about Stockholm, Sweden i will go with the swedish translation witch makes highrises into Scyscrapers :)
