    7 wonders of the modern world

    I know that over the years people have nominated different building or monuments to the list of the 7 wonders of the modern world. But I think it would be interesting to know what people here at CG think. So the question is, what are, in your opinion, the 7 man-made buildings and/or monuments that would deserve the title of "wonders of the modern world".

    Please select exactly 7. It would also be great if you tell why you selected the 7 ones.
