Bellamy Posted October 19, 2008 at 02:25 PM Posted October 19, 2008 at 02:25 PM The Plans for the 1.55-Mile-High Skyscraper in, You Guessed It, Dubai http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/10/dubai-city-tower-pic.jpg Forget the 3,280 feet-high 200-floor Nakheel Tower because it's no longer going to be the highest skyscraper in the world.The new upcoming beast is this amazing 1.55-mile-high skyscraperplanned for the Jumeirah City project in Dubai. The building is so tallthat its main elevator is in fact a vertical 125mph bullet train.This city-in-a-skyscraper will consume 37,000MWH/year, with a 15MW peakusage, but as the plans show, it has been designed to generate most of it using wind, thermal, and solar power: http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/10/dubai-city-tower-show.jpghttp://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2008/10/4567t6ukyiulkj_l.jpg If completed, the Dubai City Tower, would definitely be absolutely breathtaking. I wonder how many slaves would have to die to complete this one.
