- Source: List of tallest voluntarily demolished buildings
Voluntary building demolition is the decision by either the landowner or a higher government body to demolish a structure for any number of reasons, ranging from severe structural damage to the redevelopment of the land the building sits upon. Involuntary (or unplanned) building demolitions, such as the collapse of a building during a severe earthquake or by a terrorist attack, are not included in this list.
The demolition of especially high buildings presents unique challenges, especially when their location is within densely populated areas of their respective cities. Buildings particularly tall are most often deconstructed floor-by-floor down to the building's basement, as opposed to controlled implosion of the structure, which would most likely damage surrounding structures.
The following list includes the tallest demolished buildings, with an height of at least 100 meters (328 ft)
