The CN Tower (French: Tour CN) is a 553.3 m-high (1,815.3 ft) concrete communications and observation tower located in Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Built on the former Railway Lands, it was completed in 1976. Its name “CN” originally referred to Canadian National, the railway company that built the tower. Following the railway’s decision to divest non-core freight railway assets prior to the company’s privatization in 1995, it transferred the tower to the Canada Lands Company, a federal Crown corporation responsible for real estate development.
The CN Tower held the record for the world’s tallest free-standing structure for 32 years until 2007 and was the world’s tallest tower until 2009 being overtaken by Burj Khalifa and Canton Tower, respectively. It is now the ninth tallest free-standing structure in the world and remains the tallest free-standing structure in the Western Hemisphere. In 1995, the CN Tower was declared one of the modern Seven Wonders of the World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. It also belongs to the World Federation of Great Towers.
加拿大國家電視塔（法語：Tour CN）是一座553.3米高（1,815.3英尺）的混凝土通信和觀察塔，位於加拿大安大略省多倫多市中心。它建於1976年的鐵路土地上，於1976年完工。它的名字“CN”最初是指建造塔樓的鐵路公司Canadian National。在該公司於1995年私有化之前決定剝離非核心貨運鐵路資產之後，該公司將該塔轉移到加拿大土地公司，這是一家負責房地產開發的聯邦皇家公司。
加拿大國家電視塔在2007年之前一直保持著世界上最高的獨立式結構32年的記錄，並且是世界上最高的塔，直到2009年被哈利法塔和廣州塔分別取代。它現在是世界上第九高的獨立式建築，仍然是西半球最高的獨立式建築。 1995年，加拿大國家電視塔被美國土木工程師學會宣佈為世界七大奇蹟之一。它也屬於世界名塔聯盟。

Building history
On February 22, 1974, the work of casting concrete was completed, and the construction of the world’s tallest tower entered the “tapping” stage of installing a total of 102 meters (355 feet) of giant broadcast antennas. These antennas will consist of 44 large metal blocks, the heaviest of which weighs 8 tons.
At 9:52 am on March 31, 1975, the height of the CN Tower finally broke the world record and officially became the first tallest tower. Three days later, the workers working in the cold space on the spires of the spires greeted the last piece of metal antennas and were lifted into the sky. The high-altitude welder Paul Mitchell became the last lucky one on the CN Tower on April 2nd.

Building structure
The TV tower consists of a pedestal, an Observation Tower, a Sky pod and an antenna tower from top to bottom.
The pedestal is a triangular column with a souvenir shop, fast food restaurant, small movie hall, children’s playground and large electronic display screens that report weather conditions and time around the world.
At the top of the sky cover is the TV transmitting antenna, which is 102 meters high and is made up of 42 steel frames. It is said that when it was installed, it was completed by helicopter. Looking from the ground, the antenna tower is silver, like a sword, straight into the blue sky.
Top elevator
Since April 2008, the CN Tower has been running North America’s first and the world’s tallest glass floor elevator, providing visitors from all over the world with a new experience of “the world’s top elevator journey”. The renovation of the elevator is mainly concentrated on the elevator floor of 3.64 square meters (39.25 square feet) – two pieces of glass with a thickness of about 5.08 cm and an area of about 0.6 square meters will be embedded in the elevator floor, visitors can see through the glass floor at a glance Look at all the landscape outside the elevator. The elevator rises at an average speed of 22 kilometers per hour (15 miles). In just 58 seconds, passengers can reach the top of the 346-meter (1,136-foot) tower. This elevator travel is well-deserved as the “world’s top elevator tour.”
建築構想
電視塔自上而下由基座、觀景台（Observation tower）、“天空之蓋”（Sky pod）和天線塔四部分組成。
基座呈三角柱體，内部設有紀念品商店、快餐廳、小電影廳、兒童樂園和報告世界各地天氣情況及時間的大型電子顯示屏幕等設施。
天空之蓋的頂端是電視發射天線，全高102米，由42節鋼架叠置而成，據說當初安裝時，是借助直升飛機完成的。從地上望去，天線塔銀光閃閃，宛如一把利劍，直刺藍天。
頂級電梯
自2008年4月起，加拿大國家電視塔開始運行北美第一且世界最高的玻璃地板電梯，爲來自世界各地的游客提供“世界頂級電梯之旅”的全新體驗。對電梯的改造主要集中在3.64平方米（39.25平方英尺）的電梯地面——兩塊厚度約5.08釐米，面積約爲0.6平方米的玻璃地板會嵌入電梯地面，游客們可以一覽無遺地通過玻璃地板透視電梯外的一切景觀。電梯以平均每小時22公里（15英里）的時速上升，隻需58秒，乘客便可到達346米（1136英尺）高的塔頂，這段電梯旅行當之無愧地被譽爲“世界頂級電梯之旅”。
