The Sky Mile tower will be twice the height of the Burj Khalifa and five times the height of the Eiffel Tower in Paris! Japan has said that the construction of this skyscraper will be completed by 2045.
The Burj Khalifa in Dubai is 2,716 feet (about half a mile) tall. But Japan said that the sky mile tower under construction will beat this height! By 2045, the construction of the Sky Mile Tower will be completed and its height will be almost a mile! Behind the ambitious project are architects Kon Pederson Fox and structural engineering firm Leslie E. Robertson Associates. Most importantly, they are not only designing a structure, but the tower will be a mini-city that can deal with climate change
It is well known that Japan is vulnerable to the effects of climate change and frequent natural disasters. Being located in the 'Ring of Fire' region, Japan often experiences severe disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. The 5,577-foot Sky Mile Tower will be developed as a mini-city on Tokyo Bay. The project has been named 'Next Tokyo'.
In addition to the tallest buildings, 'Next Tokyo' will also feature man-made, hexagon-shaped islands that will protect Japan's capital Tokyo from flooding and shelter around 500,000 people. They could be connected via the Hyperloop, the high-speed transit system developed by SpaceX founder Elon Musk, the New York Post reported. But this is not the end, there are many more surprises in the Sky Mile Tower under construction! 55,000 people can live in this tower. Instead of conventional water pumps, water will be collected from the outside atmosphere at the facade of the building and stored here.
Architectural Digest also reported that the Sky Mile Tower will have a multilevel Sky Lobby, where residents of the building will have access to shopping centers, restaurants, hotels, gyms, libraries, and health clinics. The main objective of the 'Next Tokyo 2045' project, which is accompanied by climate awareness, is to create a mega city that will be able to cope with global climate change. In addition, the Sky Mile tower will have cable-free elevators that can move vertically and horizontally. The front of the building will have space for outdoor industrial agriculture and rooftop gardening.
When completed, the Sky Mile Tower will be twice the height of the Burj Khalifa and five times the height of the Eiffel Tower in Paris! In all, 55,000 people can live in this 421-storey building. Needless to say, the Sky Mile Tower will be a great experience for Tokyoites in the future and all the comforts of modern-luxury living will be here!
