Work starts on world’s tallest skyscaper

Work has begun on what is set to become the world’s tallest skyscraper in Dubai.

‘The Tower’, designed by Spanish-Swiss architect Santiago Calatrava, will be taller than the current record holder the Burj Khalifa which is also in Dubai and is part of the redevelopment of the old city.

‘The Tower’ is expected to rise 3,045 feet when it is completed in 2020 and cost around USD1 billion according to inhabitat.

“This project is an artistic achievement, inspired by the goal of making this space a meeting point for citizens, not only from Dubai and the UAE but all across the world. It is a symbol of belief in progress,” said Calatrava.
