PLANS are underway to build a MILE-HIGH skyscraper in Japan.

If approved the huge tower would be the tallest building in the world, dwarfing the current record-holder, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai which is half as tall at 2,717ft (828m).

Located in Tokyo Bay, an inlet southeast of the city proper, the plan — dubbed Next Tokyo — wouldn’t just be a single massive building, but if approved would emerge as a mini city designed to combat climate change.

Finally I can join the mile high club. Hope there ain't any CCTV

Stupid looking building with a lot of wasted floor space. That thing could be a serious hazard to aviation too.

Actually, that's what it will look like after the radiation poisoning.

It'll just be a normal building when built.

Small penis syndrome...My building is bigger than yours...

So, they're going to erect the tallest building in the world in a zone known for its earthquakes and tsunamis.

That'll be nice.

Thanks for correcting Barbaro's oversight by providing a link, Misskit.

Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, a very talented architectural firm that I had the pleasure of working with on a project in Cincinnati. They also designed the World Financial Center in Shanghai. Sounds like a fascinating project. Will look forward to seeing how this progresses.

That's what I was thinking.

And, it looks like this building is more of a synthetic, tower that's not being used at the top end, but just extends up to be a "record breaker."

Unstable land mass.
Wouldn't be the wisest move.
