Dubai plans world's tallest skyscraper
Infrastructure conglomerate Emaar Properties announced that their new Dubai-based tower project will surpass their older project, the Burj Khalifa, as the world's tallest tower. The tower, which has been inspired by the hanging gardens of Babylon, will cost around $1 billion. Notably, the spire-shaped tower project has been designed by Spanish-Swiss architect Santiago Calatrava Valls.
