The Future of Super
Tall Skyscrapers
Buildings like Burj Khalifa
and the Shanghai Tower are
often called vertical cities.
Skyscrapers symbolize
wealth and economic power;
they reshape an entire
city’s skyline, and define its
urban fabric. In 2020, the
Kingdom Tower in Jeddah,
Saudi Arabia, will open
at an estimated height of
1,000 meters, replacing Burj
Khalifa as the world's tallest
building. Will the Kingdom
Tower represent the outer
limits of what man could
design?
