CN Tower Height Chart
The CN Tower height chart shows 55,300 cm, or 1814'3.7". The scale is easier to read here than in a standard fact box because the chart separates the slim shaft from the deck ring and upper structure.
The human comparison chart adds a quick visual cue for proportion. It helps the tower feel legible as a single vertical form instead of just a large number.

Chart images
Two chart views
The first image isolates the landmark height chart. The second adds human-scale context without changing the chart value.
Original height chart

This image keeps the shaft and deck ring separate enough to read quickly. That makes the tower's vertical span the main visual signal.
Human comparison height chart

The second image helps the deck ring land in context. It makes the tower easier to compare without changing the chart value.
Why this chart works
What the chart adds
The CN Tower reads differently from a broad building because its form stays narrow for most of the height. That makes the chart useful for seeing how one vertical shaft can carry most of the visual weight, while the observation deck gives the silhouette a clear landmark point.
