From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The World Federation of Great Towers (WFGT) is an association of tall towers and skyscrapers from around the world. It was created in 1989. The key criterion for inclusion in the WFGT is that the building in question must have a public observation deck. See List of towers for a listing of more observation and communication towers.
