The Dubai Tower
is set to be the tallest building in the world and will be built on 14 million
square feet of land on Shaikh Zayed road, formerly used by the Dubai military
command. The exact height of this tower has not yet been revealed. However, it
will be taller than the 452-metre Petronas Towers in Malaysia and the
492-metre Shanghai World Financial Centre, which is being built in China.
The new tower would be a virtual carbon copy of a planned 560-metre, 113-storey
skyscraper that was denied planning approval in 1999 by authorities in
Melbourne. The project also includes water features, pedestrian boulevards, an
old town and one of the world's largest shopping malls.
