If you’ve gone to Leh Ladakh, you would’ve noticed, how for the first couple of days there, you suffer nausea and dizziness, because your body needs to acclimatize due to the lower oxygen levels at the height. When you climb a mountain, this can happen slowly, but if we built such a tall building that’s 2 km tall, when you take the elevator to instantly go from the ground floor to the top, your body will face the same problems unless the air pressure is controlled inside the building.
First of all, this will be extremely expensive, and secondly, it will mean that balconies cannot be constructed on higher floors. And even if you made them, no one would be allowed to go there. These things will need to be kept in mind. And even before the human body’s problems is the socio-economic limitaions. The biggest problem why such buildings aren’t built, Money.
There’s no guarantee that each building will be as successful as Burj Khalifa, that there will be such levels of economic boom around it. Investors will need to spend thousands of millions to fund such buildings. Funding such buildings would mean extremely high risks. How many people would want to fund it?
