This tower may beat the Jeddah Tower in terms of height, but this tower will not fit into the tallest ‘building’ category. Because as per the plans, there will be no residential or commercial spaces here. This is being planned as a simple observation deck, Such as the Eiffel Tower. But the construction is halted here as well. And we do not know when and if it will restart. So if not these two, which buildings can beat the Burj Khalifa in future? This question takes an imaginary turn here. Because the rest of the planned projects, have been planned and announced but work on them hasn’t started yet.
Such as the Mubarak Al-Kabir Tower planned in Kuwait. Proposed in 2007, it was supposed to be 1,001m tall. Its overall design was quite similar to that of the Burj Khalifa, but construction has not begun on it. So no one can estimate when it will be built. It is only a proposed plan now. If this sounds like an amazing plan, an even more astounding plan is the Sky Mile Tower in Tokyo. A 1.7km tall building. For 500,000 people to live.
Look at the photos of this proposed building. Its overall shape is similar to Burj Khalifa’s. But if such a tall tower has to be built, it will be very challenging to control the winds. This is why there are these big gaps in the proposed design, so that the winds can flow through the building. These are proper vertical slots, and this project is included in a visionary megacity project. Known as the Next Tokyo. The Japanese government will try to build a Next Tokyo near Tokyo.
