Dubai city tower (also called ‘vertical city’) is an architect’s proposal that began circulating in emails and at a skyscraper forum published in august 25th, but its origins are yet to be determined.
the professional project pitch details 400 habitable stories, topped by a 400m energy-producing spire, making it 2.4km high. the tower is proposed to be sited along the Persian Gulf where part of the building could push into the ocean creating a marina and a destination for cruise ships and tourism. the proposed tower is organized into four 100 story "neighborhoods" connected via a vertical bullet train that quickly distributes people between sky plazas that separate the different vertical neighborhoods.
by comparison, emaar’s burj dubai is largely predicted to be around 800m high and 160 floors.
a “mile-high tower” in jeddah has been planned by kingdom holdings, while nakheel is building al burj, which, according to project sources, will have a final height of 1.28km, although the developer is keeping the details under wraps.
i would not be surprised to see this project under construction. only dubai would build such crazy project. it is worth mentioning that there are many amazing architectural projects under planning and construction in dubai.
