Tomorrow, 4 January 2010, Burj Dubai Tower (818m) at Dubai will beat Taipei 101 Tower (508m) at Taiwan, and will dominate the world, officially become the world’s tallest tower.
I am believed that Burj Dubai Tower will the world’s skyscrapers height for at least 10 years. There are 10 skyscrapers is still under construction, which is taller than Petronas Twin Towers at Malaysia (452m) but shorter than Burj Dubai Tower.
Petronas Twin Towers is the first modern skyscraper built in Asia and the world in year 1998. It beat the Sears Tower from United State which holding the world’s tallest tower title for 24 years. After Malaysia making history and record, many other country believe their competence and willing to making new record and history.
Today many country especially from Asia compete to build world’s tallest. We can see city like Shanghai, Hong Kong and Dubai standing more than two 400m+ buildings.
What’s the next? Can you imagine the next 20 years?
