1200 metres??? That is one heck of a feat if they were to manage to pull this off. I remember reading about a "Sky City" to be built in China that was around 1000 metres tall but have heard nothing since so don't know what the latest is regarding that project. The Burj Dubai is currently at around 688 metres tall and I have also read about a proposed building in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia referred to as the "Mile-High Tower" that is expected to be at almost twice the height of the Burj Dubai if built as planned.
