Towering Ambitions

Anyone care to�guess the location of the soon-to-be tallest skyscraper in the world?� If you logically said Malaysia, or Taiwan, or even New York with its new World Trade Center site plans, you'd be wrong.� Actual location: Dubai, lately of the United Arab Emirates, which has recently completed the foundations for what will not only be the world's biggest skyscraper, but�tallest�man-made structure,�beating out even Toronto's dizzying CN tower for the title.� (Here's a list of the tallest towers currently standing, though as the footnote states, a handful of radio masts�stand even taller than these).

Now, while I have to�admit that constructing a building like this in Dubai - not exactly one of the great metropolises of the world�-�can only be�for the sake of image, the design does look quite�cool and sleek, and it certainly is like nothing else that has ever been built.��Check out the official site for the project here.
