Japan plans to build a tower of 1.6 kilometers high

If approved for construction, the Sky Mile Tower in Tokyo, Japan, will be twice as tall as the world's tallest Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

According to Business Insider, the skyscraper called Sky Mile Tower is part of a "Next Tokyo 2045" collaboration project between Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) and engineering company Leslie E. Robertson (LERA).The project will contribute to creating an ecological area, helping to combat sea level rise in Tokyo Bay, Japan.

After construction, Sky Mile Tower will have a height of over 1,600 meters, nearly double the tallest building in the world today is the Burj Khalifa tower in Dubai (829.8m).

The Sky Mile Tower, which consists of 420 floors, is mainly used for housing, with a capacity of about 500,000 people.The cost of building the tower is currently unpublished.

The longitudinal community network is interconnected by outdoor corridors at many altitudes.Here, people can access various facilities such as shopping, restaurants, hotels, gyms, libraries and health clinics.

Due to the difficulty of pumping water from the ground to the upper floors, the system-equipped tower helps collect, filter and store water from the clouds.Elevators run along different residential areas, as well as throughout the foot of the building, helping bring people to the highest floors.

Skyscrapers are surrounded by artificially shaped hexagonal islands.They have the function of blocking large waves, while still allowing boats to travel.

Engineers designed many floating farms in the surrounding water.
