What do you think? 🤔 Will we ever see a building taller than the Burj Khalifa? 🏗
Yea
Jiddah tower can beat burj khalifa
Yeah
if not this decade than probably the next one
I hope not cuz I want the country I’m in to have the biggest building
As a person who has worked with structural engineers in a consultancy, I can confirm that a crisis is looming that we don't have the manpower to deal with, massive structures requiring maintenance and us not having enough people to fix them while they are constantly about to collapse. Cities like New York, Shanghai, Macau, Hong Kong and the lots which have buildings that are immensely tall have a huge problem on their hands. The problem won't be that there will be a lack of buildings, we simply won't be able to stop the existing ones from collapsing.
(edit) Since many people have questions about building practices and this comment has received many likes, I shall instead explain how a building actually becomes stressed over time.
Think of a building like a standing carboard box. If it is an office space, it becomes filled with people and cars during the day and empty by night. This means that it is stressed under the weight of inhabitants during the day and de-stressed at night. The contraction and expansions day after day wears the materials out. Add to this, the temperature and pressure changes and the questionable practices of builders sourced from places like China (which is more common in a city like NY than you might think), and you have a recipe for disaster.
Our dependency on concrete has also left us disabled. More humble materials like simple bricks and mortar have been disregarded and concrete is now used even for low-lying structures.
Once RCC develops rust and damages, it's game over and the clock starts clicking down to zero. Take into consideration the sprawling cities we have now built, at the cost of building a massive skyline. Most people who live in apartments in skyscrapers report feelings of desolation, angst, depression and loneliness far more than people in smaller buildings.
The city of NY was so successful in maintaining its infrastructure because of the unique weather conditions and the pre-existing infrastructure based on underground steam pipes. This is not the same around the world. It is bad model and has turned into a contest between firms and conglomerates for no real benefit.
This same thing is happening to road/highway and bridge infrastructure right now, we had a boom in development and now we dont have the resources or time to maintain them.
Same thing seems to be happening almost everywhere, its quite clear that things just aren't sustainable and were starting to see the effects.
@@Free_Krazy At the end of the century, we should see a collapse of our last century and current early century infrastructure. Sure maintenance is being made but not enough could you do for the 100% of the area.
Good Point. And if they don't have the money to install a sewer system how do you think corners could be cut in maintenance. The willingness to have a huge caravan of poop trucks every day makes the entire structure suspect in my opinion. Otherwise I think Dubai is fascinating, even though there are many huge mistakes that will revel themselves in coming years.
Nuh. We will always have the manpower to maintain buildings. The problem is, people dont want to buy it because it is so darn expensive and all those developers cant repay back their bank debts putting a risk on banking crisis. We need high rises because cities cant survive if you keep on building single family homes but we also dont need more skyscrapers.
so whats the alternative? tear down more trees to build outwards?

one of the reasons i watch top luxury
well said.

Which makes your desire to actually visit these places even less, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing
true
I think Burj Khalifa won’t stay the tallest building humanity ever build but it is going to stay the tallest building longer then expected
Idk, Saudi Arabia is building the Jeddah tower
It’s just not needed to build at such heights. The costs of maintenance are just too high compared to shorter structures with more usable volume.
@@mrparts I know that there is no sense in building that high but in humanity it’s all about taller further faster. PS it is a German proverb I don’t know if it exists in a English form
@@mrparts but it's so cool to look at. Like we have to build structures so our future generations will think better of us.

@BummyGearChannel🤓
As a civil engineer, I'm sad yet glad (melancholic?) that the era of supertall skyscrapers seems to be at an end. While certainly visually and technically stunning, and much more interesting to talk about than run-of-the-mill buildings, my urban planning career focus leads me to argue that 4-to-6 story buildings are the ideal. Not Manhattan, not Levittown, but something in between like Paris, Amsterdam, or Copenhagen. Dense enough to make a viable walkable urban neighborhood, but not so tall as to create an urban jungle of concrete and steel to get lost in.
I work with the Department of Buildings in NYC. Manhattan doesn't have mega-talls so this video wouldn't apply to that. We still have plenty of tall skyscrapers being built and there are plenty being built world wide, just not mega-talls. I do agree with your sentiment over all but I just wanted to focus on the 2nd part of what you said. 4-6 stories being ideal is a blanket statement that shouldn't apply to literally every part of the city, you run into just another state of NIMBYism, this solution doesn't scale nor does it cater to everyone wants, you end up forcing your ideal density on everyone else. Paris outgrew it's building height limit (it's rent and gentrification rate is a clear indication of this) and has been approved for multiple skyscrapers since 2021 even though people love using it as the poster child of anti skyscraper. There are ways to do viable and walkable neighborhoods with high rises and tall buildings instead of banning everything and limiting it to 6 stories. I wish people would look at more nuanced approaches instead of just saying "tall building = bad". I live in a high rise neighborhood and I would prefer over mid rises personally, and so would many people. When you say ideal you are discounting literally the millions of people that love living in Manhattan including me who chose to move here specifically for the tall buildings and uber density. There should be no reason we ban taller than mid rise buildings, what should be done is regulating them to be safe and talking about how we design more towers to be better with good ground floors that allow for street life and proper set backs for light/ shadow issues. There's no reason why we can't have both, more parts of the city that are 4-6 stories while having the urban and business core going higher when needed.
With all this being said I 100% agree with you MOST parts of the city would be ideal at mid rises 4-6 and we need more of them, but there's no reason why we shouldnt let other parts grow if they can and cater to those of us that love the "urban jungle" but also learn to make high rise neighborhoods more pleasant to be in, which parts of Manhattan do fantastically and there's no where else I'd rather live in. Yet for those who don't like that, there are plenty of neighborhoods in Manhattan that are mid rise, there's Brooklyn, there's Queens, practically 95% of NYC is under 8 stories. I think it's fair to say, as a city planner, different neighborhoods should be diverse and cater to different people. Do you disagree and say high rises have no place at all? Even Paris, Amsterdam and Copenhagen have high rises in parts of their city (with Copenhagen finishing its tallest skyscraper right now). Note I should make it incredibly clear I dont mean the mega talls you see in this video that are 600 meter+ tall but in general letting the demand of the area equate to what should be built, it could be 10 stories, 20, 30, and so on.
I though economies of scale ended at about 80 stories, depending on the population density.
@@ThisIsntmyrealnameGoogle 300 and 400 meter buildings are building now
@@ThisIsntmyrealnameGoogle That's a long ass comment about someone who wants validation for his love of Nyc. A small block of financial towers is fine in cities (like in London and Paris) but concrete jungles aren't. 4-6 story buildings are ideal and without a real need no one should build any higher
@@mohammedalkhateem again ideal for what? This is such a blanket statement that doesn’t apply to every place on the planet. There’s nothing an 8 or even 10 story building can’t do that a 6 story building can given the demand is there. And 90% of NYC isn’t a concrete jungle either, it’s a few blocks of mid town and the financial district in Manhattan. Nothing you said disagreed with my comment, I said most part the city ideally would be mid rises except the economic and business districts. I don’t think I disagree with any of the last part you said?
You didn't explain why a part of Burj Khalifa is uninhabitable, which is a pretty important piece of information. It's because at that height there's simply not enough space for habitation, especially luxury habitation.
Yeh the narrator called it “vanity hight” . It exists just to make the building taller. Almost all the buildings he mentioned have some.
@F&F.Dragon clarification there is a sewage system in place but when the building was first constructed it did not have a sewage system and they used truck
Francesco Nicoletti / Yup, I think almost half the Burj Khalifa is inhabitable and only vanity height, I think it’s roof height only reaches around 800 meters tall, still the tallest in the world, but not as tall as you’d think.
Maybe yes maybe no / They still use poop trucks 😂🤮
I used to fancy about the tall buildings as a kid but soon as I realised it’s impracticality with lifts in rush hours and blocking the views all the time, soon I dialled down to enjoy the nature and beach better.
Yeah. I'm not going to hate on tall buildings, but frequently it feels like we've been caught up in them as symbols of wealth and progress rather than whether they always make sense.
The Berj Khalifa especially, with that excess height serving purely for vanity.

Sears Tower has my vote as the GOAT. It is the pinnacle of supertall design. There's a reason why the video kept coming back to it. Entirely useful, no vanity. Something to truly be proud of.
I'd go with the Empire State Building. It has style. THE sears Tower is just boxes. And why that? Why not thenWorld Trades Center then, it was first and the Sears Tower wasn't that much taller.
yeah and they clearly havent made enough money from it, charing $50 to go up top nowadays.
Didn't even realize this was not The B1M until I finished the video haha. Fantastic work guys.

What about the tallest radio tower? I'd imagine those would be significantly easier to build. Doesn't need to accommodate housing and space, just height.
From 1974 to 1991 in Konstanynow, Poland there was a radio tower, that reached 646 metres of height, making it the tallest in the world. Unfortunately, it collapsed in 1991 (mainly due to bad technical state).
A problem with very high towers is interference with aviation and the associated risk of accidental aircraft collision, which can only be reduced by locating airports a long way away from the city which may be possible in the Middle East, but not in Europe, America and most of Asia. Safety from fire is another issue which is highlighted by the fires in the Grenfell Tower in London and the Lacrosse building fire in Melbourne, Australia. It is very difficult to pump water to the height of very tall buildings for both firefighting and for domestic use.
Does CNN get anything right?
@@simrdownmon6431 Never
accidental aircraft collision? interference with aviation? lmao.. dude u r lost
Buildings have absolutely 0 impact on aviation, airports are built/designed along with the city itself, if there is an airport there wont be any tall building build around it, and if there is a tall building already there you dont build the airport there.
From there air corridors are established which are essentially air highways which make landing, taking off and holding very streamlined.
On top of that any area with tall buildings like a downtown is going to have a massive no-fly zone around it with usually the only way to even approach a city is to be in a very precise corridor and you always have an ATC agent keeping track of your plane.
On top of that tall buildings just like planes have radar beacons which communicate with any other radar beacon around.
And even on top of that planes have a secondary ground proximity warning system/ full proximity warning system which detects any object that comes within threat distance of the aircraft giving the pilot time to react.
I dont think there has been a single accidental incident where a plane flew into a building with these now common safety measures in place.
well unless there is a 30,000 foot building in the works "accidental" aircraft collision is not gonna happen. and besides, nobody is gonna build a mega tall skyscapper directly infront of an airport.

My dad helped build the C.N Tower in Toronto, my 2 sisters and my brother have their names on the top antenna, along with about 20 elementary schools and their students also. They were invited to put their names on it as a school outing, to watch the helicopter lift and position the last piece on the top which was the antenna, many people don't even know it was built to be an antenna, and is the tallest free standing structure in the world, it is not categorized as a building, only an antenna, and is majestic in its own right, and is unsurpassed in structural design and the first and last in its divine beauty of such.
I remember going on vacation to Ontario, NY, and looking across the lake at sunset, and seeing that tower standing above all the other, I’m assuming, skyscrapers in Toronto. Beautiful city, especially from that far away! Lol
@@alecwhatshisname5170 I went on the CN tower three years ago. Feels like being on a tiny moutain!
"and is the tallest free standing structure in the world"
A building is a type of free standing structure, so the biggest is also the Burj Khalifa, and the CN Tower is actually 10th. The CN Tower remained though, the tallest tower in the world until 2009, when Canton Tower took its place. In 2012, the Tokyo Skytree became the tallest tower, making the CN Tower 3rd. Admittedly though, for 1976 it was a marvel of engineering.

It’ll probably remain the tallest for the next few decades at least. The 2020s are likely to be a period of global unrest and uncertainty, which is not the environment you want to build to be building vanity projects in (and the tallest buildings have always been vanity projects).
We’ll see what the 2030s are like, but the West is currently more interested in non-high-rise urban development as modern skyscraper architecture rarely fits into existing urban cities, which had significant urban development in the 19th and early 20th century thus setting the building styles of most urban cities in the West. There’s also little demand to live in high-rises so I can’t see the West pushing the boundaries even if the average height of cities may rise somewhat to limit urban sprawl.
China meanwhile is going to be struggling with an aging population on top of having their corruption’s debt come due. I don’t see them being active in the 2030s and much of East Asia is in similar boats with stagnating economies.
The Middle East is meanwhile dealing with decades of war, religious-political unrest, and the declining importance of oil. I can’t see the oil states of the Arabian Peninsula wanting to waste their money on vanity projects when they risk losing the foundation their countries are built on, while I can’t see any of the other Middle Eastern nations having a stable enough situation by the 2030s to throw their hat into the race, and they are unlikely to have the wealth to do so if they do stabilize.
For the 2040s we may see India throwing its hat into the ring if it continues to economically develop, and we may see a new spurt of develop lasting into the 2050s, the exact years depending on when they have an economic spurt of growth to start a construction boom, and ending when India hits their next recession.
Given Africa’s rising population I could see them taking a shot sometime in the latter half of the century. How many will depend on how well they can transform their economic potential into economic reality. Nigeria if it is successful could become a hub of super-hi-rise buildings as it is on track to have a huge population in a relatively small area, and if successful will likely become a draw for immigrants from less successful countries thus increasing the demand for tall buildings.
There is also the possibility that we may oneday see a Space Elevator, but that’s really dependent on whether we develop the right materials that can be used to build one.
So for the next few decades I think the Burj Khalifa will be the tallest building in the world, though we may see a slow tick upward in countries around the world (similar to how the Empire State Building stayed the tallest building for decades while the skyline around slowly caught up before surpassing it), but in a few decades we may see new spurts of growth as various regions around the world develop and join the age old tradition of announcing you’re a modern country by thrusting your biggest stick into the sky.
Basically how I feel. My question is after India and Africa develop, will the chickens come home to roost in Europe?
There is probably more of a chance of the second tallest becoming the tallest building. It may not be another building eclipsing the Burj Khalifa, but the Burj Khalifa falling due to fire, attack or environmental disaster, or simply a lack of maintenance when the money runs out.

Even London needs to get their hands dirty.

@@brightmacsworld8353 ggggggggggggg g but
I mean the Empire State Building was the tallest building in the world for nearly 40 years and there weren't any other rivals due to the depression and World War II. It's pretty similar to what we're going through with the economic recession and Covid pandemic preventing any new mega tall skyscrapers from being built
Very interesting video, thanks for sharing
Great video. Memories from Brazil.
With new materials, new techniques, new construction machines and new energy sources like fusion, taller buildings will probably be built eventually. But it seems we reached our current economical and practical limit some years ago. With as many problems as the BK has, it seems it was built purely to be the tallest building around with no actual good reason (beyond the tuorist draw). I imagine that if humanity doesn't die out and we don't discover some vastly new and disruptive physics we will eventually see carbon nanotube space elevators, or space towers constructed with in-built active support, but that's not something a non-fusion economy can easily afford.

Frank Lloyd Wright not only DREAMT of a Mile High skyscraper, he developed a complete blueprint for it, in the 1950s. Super Talls will continue to be built in NYC but they'll be Super Thin too.
"Wright believed that because his building was fireproof, any fire precautions would be moot" Good luck building that.
Yep, in Chicago, but as far I know they only have one current one thousand plus footer in the works. Everything here in the US at least at the tallest seems to be from the one thousand to fifteen hundred foot range. What blows my mind is that Miami(which has no thousand foot buildings currently)could tie or overtake Chicago in the category within the next ten years.
The magic skyscrapers are so big like they feel like they're just going to cut the sun apart
Still a beautiful design. I love how he fashioned it after a tree with a strong central core and outer walls which were not load bearing, meaning even interior spaces would have had a light and airy feel.
Hopefully one day someone unravels the blueprints, updates them to meet fire code, and actually builds the thing
@@TalenGryphon granted I don't know the full specifics of the plans, I don't think it's likely considering the top floor was designed to only be accessible by elevator. I'm sure his plan was possible, but fire safety is always one of the biggest concerns when designing large buildings like this.

Now that a few of these have been built people have seen what is involved. Of course, there will be more mega-tall buildings in the future but there is no rush.

The bigger issue is in america sky scrapers are build by and for businesses and to make money. In these other countries its either built for vanity / marketing reasons or to help prop up construction and other industries like in china.

In the brazilian city of Balneário Camboriú there's a 500+ residential tower being planned right now. When concluded it will be the tallest residential tower in the world. It's called *Triumph Tower* .
Trump Tower?
Wow superrrr 😊😲👍
Interesting conversation
Petronas Twin Towers became the first Supertall Skyscraper outside of North America,hold the Tallest building from 1998-2004,but remain as the Tallest Twin building up until now🇲🇾✨

Proud to hear about my country man fazlur Rahman khan♥️🇧🇩🇧🇩
How famous is Fazlur Rahman Khan in Bangladesh?
Proud to be from Bangladesh 🏴
Good job on the overall mini documentary here. Well organized presentation of facts with graphs and visual illustrations for scale n comparison. It fit in well in the discussion/ narration . aloha
The buildings are so big
Sad to see the end of an era,. But what a beautiful piece of architecture to mark the climax.
Damn proud to be Bangladeshi
Kuala Lumpur Malaysia 😍😍.
Same music I have in my Thomson Actuator Demo video.🤣
Love or hate the Khalifa it's hard not to be absolutely amazed at the size... going to Dubai again next month and its my first stop just to stand in front and look up!
Have you seen our latest video about megaprojects?
Dubai itself is building a project that will break the record of Khalifa
Cancelled
The thumbnail illustration for Philadelphia city hall looks more like independence hall, a building more than a century older!
Nice

The main problem with super tall buildings is the bottleneck. You always need to enter from below, so if you live in a tall building you are always dependent of the elevator that can take a long time.
A possible solution would be to build several towers with connections between them, like in a sci-fi movie but who would want to live in such an environment? Also, the burj khalifa doesn't even have sewers.... just image living next to a building that needs to have a train of trucks every single day just to transport the sewage away.
I can tell you right now that plenty of rich people, multimillionaires and billionaires would love the privilege of never having to set foot on the ground again, living life above the streets, travelling between place to place via personal drones or skybridge, like a literal Upper Class. They already fantasize about living on Mars or a space station colony like Elysium. So why would a Skyscraper gated community be any different, besides during leisure travel?
Burj Khalifa elevators are the fastest in the world, and the poop trucks were only used for a very short time after Building the tower and it connected to the sewage system shortly after the tower was built.

Tower M will be build next to petronas twin tower, it's KLCC's holding future project same as petronas twin tower, the underground construction has just began.. i do guarantee they will build it..
Cool one world observatory

Merdeka 118 height will be tallest building in southeast Asia and 2nd tallest building in the world with the height 678.9m...the tower also has a tallest glass elevated in the world...inside the spire there is an observation deck and visitors can enter the spire! it will be the highest observation deck in the world
klcc holding (the same company that built the petronas twin towers) announced the height of tower m is 700m in 2019 and construction starts in 2030 ... maybe in the future, tower m will be added the height...
btw,I like your channel top luxury... lots of useful info!

Excellent video. I think though, the Woolworth Building should replace the 40 Wall Street building in your graphics. The Woolworth Building was the tallest in the world from 1813 to 1930.

Whatever the course we take, I just hope that as our technology gets more advanced, so will our architecture. Futuristic buildings are the most pleasing to me, and I really hope to see some amazing projects in the coming years. The Jeda tower is something I really hope gets completed, because I would love to see something that amazing to be built in our lifetime.
Im the exact opposite. There is nothing more beautiful than 18th century buildings
@@kingofrivia1248 you and the rest of europe. Leave people die of cold in the center because you can’t moderniste those old cripling rock building that Could fall the NexT minute. Let the us and Asia build nice building and we europe keep our old stuff cuz it’d good. Reject cars and just bike ride or Take the bus, reject the center and leave on the outskirts to actually have a nice home you LOVE to sit down in and be proud to own. Let the rich pay with their health and make it not cheap to live in the city itself, have those communist building be there forever, forget we live in a modern society.
Damn those old stuff, destroy and rebuild to fit the car problem and secure one parking space Per home. Show we’re not that poor to keep that old stuff, it Looks So rough.

Futuristic buildings means no more beautiful cities.
Great video and putting everything into context, but I think it's more reasonable to suggest that the next tallest building isn't a matter of IF, but WHEN. Clearly, the factors discussed have made it a lower priority around the world at this moment, but never underestimate competition between tower owners or countries to always build the next biggest or tallest thing -- it's the novelty and challenge of such things that drive humans. Even if Burj Khalifa remains tallest building for the next 10 years (unlikely), it certainly won't remain tallest forever. Personally, I would prefer to wait 10-20 years for whatever overtakes the Burj Khalifa, if it means it's something spectacular and unique in design, function and use.
Interesting.⏳🌅👀🤔🇩🇰🇺🇸
Tower of Babylon: nuuuuuuuu
Burj Khalifa: I can't hear you from down there
Could have mentioned the proposed oblisco capitale building in Egypt as a contender
key here is to understand that Dubai doesn’t have harsh weather or earth quakes
Don’t they have extreme heat and sandstorms to contend with?
Love from Bangladesh ❤️❤️❤️🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
Love the video, but why no mention of the *_Oblisco Capitole_* in Egypt? Not only is it currently still being built, but at 1000 Meters it will top everything on this list in height *_and floors._*
Pff. Egypt is currently a military dictatorship and they lack any sorf of talent to not fail miserably with this project. Egypt has millions of problems and yet they want to break meaningless records. The clear sign of madness, corrupt leaders and incompetence. Egypt is pathetic at the moment.
You should talk about the Hellinicon Project in Greece! I love your videos and keep going!
Unless we have the significant improvement in technology, especially in civil engineering, and with the stress of the population growth, it's unlikely to expect more new skyscrapers in next decade.
We do have the technology though, just not the demand
Skyscrapers are mostly just vanity projects these days anyway. Their main purpose was highly condensed office space in already dense cities. This is becoming increasingly irrelevant in a world where workers can work remotely and paper records are mostly a thing of the past.
@@hithere5553 agree with that. more evidence shown that the skyscrapers require more resources in the events of emergency than normal buildings, which proved that they are not cost efficient nor environment friendly. With the quick growth of the internet technology, lots of work can be done remotely and it's no longer need everyone be in the office everyday and less business workspace is needed.

The Burj Khalifa may be the tallest building ever, but that won't stay the same forever, at least for earth. Technology and metal forging capabilities are constantly changing.
And there's no rule that the building has to be on earth, the benefits of building on a different planet, depending which one it is, is endless. At least on a different planet, the affects of gravity don't affect the materials as much and allow a greater and more complex building structure to stretch out the height more.
I think really tall buildings make the skyline futuristic
Your vision of the future is pathetic and uninspiring then.
Fun fact, I have been to all those countries. Love from Kenya🇰🇪
Lol reporter pulls mic cord and tower falls 🤣
Humans aren't meant to live so high up in the sky that they're surrounded by clouds. It's really bad for your mental health. Once the excitement ends of living on a high floor, you can't wait get out of there.
I mean... people live on mountains.
@@Shirumoon yeah but their feet are firmly on the ground.
If I am not mistaken there was no mention of the planned Dubai Creek Tower. Yes it has stalled but I do believe it will be built.
The construction was halted for years now
Dubai Creek Tower is not classified as a skyscraper due to its low number of usuable floors 🤓
dubai tower is not skyscraper..it just observation deck tower
@@MegaBuildsYT what about Jeddah Tower
@@sebe7570 Jeddah Tower is a skyscraper
How did you forget Egypt's Oblisco Capitale in the new capital of Egypt? Egypt just finished building the tallest tower in Africa (400m tall) and announced they'll start constructing a 1km tower in 2024.
The human desire to build taller is not going away. Humans will continue to try to reach higher and higher. There will always be setbacks like war, famine, disease, natural disasters, greed, and the like, but the urge to reach higher will remain. There will continue to be improvements in different technologies to achieve what was once science fiction.
I'm happy the trend starts to end. The european building style is still the most cost effective. Because Skyscrapers also need a lot of supporting structures around them, so they can function at their full potential. Commute and transportation are also aspects in life, that want to be cut down at the energy cost.
The covid pandemic also had an impact on the building landscape. With hot-desking, flexi-working arrangements and work from home, we no longer require that much office space.
that was said in the video

I believe Toronto wants to build another super tall building, about twice the hight as the CN Tower
Certainly not the end. Malaysia will build at least another mega tall.
First of all love your videos . Has a big fan that i am of skyscrapers i think that building taller is extremely important for with in are cities and as we also build taller for most people its really cool to see them get taller an taller . I think we should start thinking about changing on how we build skyscrapers . Like start coming up with ways on so it doesn't affect are planet . But we should still keep building taller ! . That's my opinion.👍🙂
I like skyscrapers and live in one. I don't know how it affect the planet but I don't want to live in a wider city with 5,6 story building because u will take a lot of time to go somewhere, since everything seem so far away
The Ulmer Münster used to be even taller at the time than the Cathedral in Straßburg. Almost 30 meters…
It was completed in the late 19th century. In the 19th century, there was a renewed interest in building tall structures: Rouen Cathedral, Cologne Cathedral or the Washington Monument are good examples. Then the Eiffel Tower pulverised everyone, but since it was a tower and not a building, technically the Ulmer Munster became later the tallest building between 1890 and 1894, and is still the tallest church if I'm not wrong.
it really was a bummer when i learned the construction of jeddha tower was put on hold
I imagine the Canadian Shield would provide the best ground to build the foundation on to make a heavy tall structure.
Suggest a comparison between the city of Dubai and the city of Jeddah in the airport, port, infrastructure, shopping centers, entertainment, tourism, archaeological sites, culture, business sector, etc..
Because they are the two most important tourist and commercial cities in the Arabian Peninsula
Comparing the new works in Jeddah, such as the Downtown Jeddah project, the Jeddah Tower development project, the slum development projects, the metro and public buses project, the marine taxi project, Obhur Bridge, etc..
As well as Dubai development projects
How will we see the future of the two cities?
I think the future will be in the Middle East first it was in America and then china now it’s our time although Dubai is futuristic more than them
Boring topic. Both places that no normal person wants to live in. Maybe some dumb tourists will like to visit the desert.
@@sultanbnbshr5840 Your comment made me chuckle a little. Just because we don't show off, it doesn't mean there aren't any construction projects going on here in the U.S. Oh yes there is, the difference is we don't need to advertise to the international consumer nor do we need tourists so desperately because the American consumer's buying power is already higher. There are countless projects near my area like new apartment buildings, hotels, restaurants, transportation, electric car charging stations at grocery stores, stores, etc.
I visited the Burj Khalifa in 2019. It was so BEAUTIFUL to experience! The elevator at top speed and yet no problem with the ears. The view outside was breathtaking. My visit to Sears Tower in 2003 was also great, but this one in Dubai was really awesome!
To look out at the surrounding desert and artificial everything....really great
