Yeah but Tokyo has a lot more going for it than Dubai...one of the world's largest cities, the most expensive city in the world, and in a very well developed country :) A little different than Dubai...either way it's a bit rediculous 2km tower is pointless...I mean WOHOO awesome...it'll be a wonder of the world but it's completely impractical. Imagine having a fire alarm and the elevators not working :p :p :p (something that happends in my condo regularly) |
I talked about this a bit earlier.... this is the building that will have a train on the exterior to bring people to certain floors from which they can get a small elevator to a floor in that section of floors.
I'm sure they've worked out some sort of fire suppression system and will have an in-building fire department.
There is a lot of good reason to build something like this Tokyo. Land being the number 1 reason. There is no more land availible within the city of Tokyo so in order to continue expansion it must go up. The building of a 2km tall complex would house so much residentian and commercial space is would be like adding a small sub-burb in a city block. |

I disagree. They can never build a super-tall building in Tokyo because of the threat of major earthquakes.
BTW, I mentioned HL2 because the Citadel looks like FLW's Illinois. |

Every 20 floors or so (I cannot recall....) they replace several stories with large high-tensile springs. These are designed to absorb the shock and sway of an earthquake. Such devices are already in use in some buildings. |

Here's another thing they're building in Dubai...This is actually kind of cool...not that the Burj isn't cool but at least this kind of makes more sense :)
