World's tallest building plan

Published: 06 Oct 2008

THIS artist's impression of a Dubai sky scraper shows what could become the world's TALLEST building.

It is not clear exactly how high or how expensive the Nakheel Tower will be but it will have “more than 200 floors” and be part of “a multi-billion pound development”.

Dubai developer Nakheel – the company behind the man-made islands in the shapes of a palm tree and the world – said the structure would be the centre-piece of an inner-city harbour, set to become the emirates’ new, unofficial capital.

Wow.

When are we gonna get ours?

Oh, that's right. We're broke. All our money went over there...

Wasn't it Frank Lloyd Wright who proposed the possibility of a, literally, mile-high skyscraper? Maybe that will be "ours," someday.
