1700 meters high! What kind of super structure is the "Sky Mile Tower" that Japan intends to build?

This is an era of "friends in circles show their beauty, urban circles show their height". According to the latest data from the global high-rise building database, the super building named "Sky Mile Tower" ranks first in height. Although it is in the "vision" stage, the building is owned by the world's two top architectural firms KPF and Leslie E. Robertson (LERA) co-led the planning and design to make the implementation of the project more reliable.

"Next Tokyo" presents a renaissance megacity that adapts to climate change, which Japan has begun to build High-density Ecological Zone built on flexible infrastructure. According to the planning and design, the "Sky Mile Tower" is the central building in the "Next Tokyo" area.

This building is designed as a hexagon to maximize wind resistance and is expected to accommodate 55,000 people. There are shopping malls, restaurants, hotels, gyms and health clinics in the building; elevators are not limited to vertical moving ladders, but also horizontal ladders that can move horizontally.

The reclaimed land archipelago provides transit-oriented development for 500,000 residents, and at the same time improves Tokyo Bay’s ability to withstand water risks.

As a development strategy, part of the value generated by this new ideal waterfront real estate will in turn contribute to the cost of municipal infrastructure .

The "Sky Mile Tower" and "Next Tokyo" projects were reported by the British "Daily Mail" in 2016 and became famous around the world. Japanese developers are said to be planning The entire project can be completed in 2045. However, the second tallest building in the world, The Illinois skyscraper, with a height of 1,609 meters, has been put forward in 1956 and has nothing to do with it.
