Finally completed! Called it the Everest Tower with a height of 8850 meters!
Sorry for being a little off topic btw.

Looks cool but if Iâm going to be honest with you that building isnât structurally sound. Or at least doesnât appear so from the outside. It has no way to break the winds effects on it (al la Burj Khalifa, Shanghai tower, any number of skyscrapers) and no breakthrough floors to allow the wind to pass (al la 175 Park., 432 Park, etc.)
Unless you have shock absorbers criss crossing on every floor on all sides this thing will sway until it snaps. (Well if it were built which I doubt is even possible)

If ignoring the laws of physics then this building has no effect to wind at all. But to be fair I kind of agree with you about the side effects if it was proposed/visioned in real life. But here in Minecraft, thereâs no gravity and no physics whatsoever. And there are some supports (or wall columns) inside the tower.
Other than that I agree with what you said entirely. It does look like it would collapse at any minute but the design looks cool regardless. But yeah this was just a concept to show you what I did since I wanted to create a tower that is Mount Everest height. 
By the way, the reason it looks like it could snap is that itâs skinny (although itâs 431 meters wide so itâs still pretty wide, and the widest structure in my Minecraft city). It was going to be 861 meters wide but because of lag issues, I decided to reduce it to its current width (431 meters).

Saw this
âEach of the 8 stadiums at the World Cup, in Qatar, will have arrays of gigantic air conditioners to battle the very hot tempsâ.
My site will have an integrated heating, cooling, plumbing (water and waste seperate), electrical, etc in every single building on the site. They will also have physical underground and above ground connections. All buildings will be connected thoroughly.
Also the heating and cooling will have floor heating and cooling.

Also there should be several backup lines for redundancy. At least enough to keep a small portion running but preferably there should be enough for the whole project site

Oh wow, those air conditioners are huge!

Yeah letâs not talk about what it took to build those.

Are those air conditioners or fans?
No idea. It says Air Conditioners but that was just the thread headline. You could probably look it up
I feel for the economic health of the development it should have itâs own port, both a major cruise port and a major industrial port. This would be within the project site obviously but set back from the central area for both flooding/hurricane/etc reasons but also to divert heavy transit away from the central area.
Though I would have several industrial train lines going right into and connecting to the port to decrease heavy trucking nearby significantly

Ngl I kinda want a fusion reactor underneath or on the property of the project.

Sounds interesting!

Iâm thinking about lots and lots of tree cover. While it would add to the maintenance of the project area, it would decrease the heat island effect, lessen both heat and colds effect on the infrastructure in the area, help slightly with the air quality (alogn with various air purification systems around the project site), and other benefits

A lot of the trees do make a skyscraper more scenic, also I didnât know that trees can do those other things besides air quality.

Vegetation is general can lower the heat island effect, and it overshadowing the infrastructure can decrease the heats effect on it preventing or slowing the expansion due to continually heating and cooling it.

Iâm gonna put this here to make sure I can keep track of it. Especially so it doesnât get lost in the conversations of the thread. (Especially the one right after as it looks like itâs about to get really toxic)
Okay Iâve got 20 built or U/C so far. Please tell me if you see anything off or if I missed a building. I will start working on the proposed list/ prepared site / approved etc.
If all proposed/etc on list list got completed that would be 37 supertalls in NYC. And Iâm pretty sure Iâm still missing stuff off this list, as well as stuff that hasnât been announced yet or is still in the planning stages. Edit: I did not include any of the Hudson Yards Phase 2 tower, Penn Station towers (besides Penn 15) PABT towers and other as no heights have been released (or any proposals for that matter)
In total after proposals are added:
1,700 ft + = 1
1,600 ft + = 1
1,500 ft + = 3
1,400 ft + = 5
1,300 ft + = 3 (if the twins were still here this would be 5)
1,200 ft + = 3
1,100 ft + = 3
1,000 ft + = 15
984 ft + = 3
Edits after looking at Emporis.
They wonât really be in order for height ( maybe )
- 1WTC - 1776 ft. 541 M (the only 500 M tower in the city, at least until Affirmation gets built. Had CPT got its spire or 175 not had its height reduced both would have been above 500M)
- CPT - 1,550 ft. 472 M
- Empire State Building - 1,454 ft. 443 M (Was at #7 without the antenna on the wiki list and CTBUH, but 1 WTC has its height included with the antenna so I chose the taller height)
- 111 West 57th St. - 1,428 ft. 435 M
- One Vanderbilt - 1,401 ft. 427 M
- 432 Park Avenue - 1,397 ft. 426 M
- 270 Park Avenue - 1,388 ft. 423 M
- 30 Hudson Yards - 1,270 ft. 387 M
- Bank of America Tower - 1,200 ft. 366 M
- 3 World Trade Center - 1,079 ft. 329 M
- The Brooklyn Tower - 1,073 ft. 327 M

- 66 Hudson Boulevard - 1,041 ft. 317 M
- The Spiral - 1,041 ft. 317 M
- 50 Hudson Yards - 1,011 ft. 308 M
- 35 Hudson Yards - 1,009 ft. 308 M
- One57 - 1,004 ft. 306 M
- One Manhattan West - 996 ft. 304 M
Proposed/Site Prepared/Approved
1,600 ft + = 1 (rip 175)
1,500 ft + = 2
1,400 ft + = 2
1,300 ft + = 1
1,200 ft + = 1
1,100 ft + = 3
1,000 ft + = 5
984 ft + = 2
- Affirmation Tower - 1,663 ft. 506 M
- 175 Park Avenue - 1,575 ft. 480 M
- Tower Fifth - 1,556 ft. 474 M
- 350 Park Avenue - 1,450 ft. 441 M
- 80 South Street - 1,436 ft. 437 M
- 2WTC - 1,348 ft. 410 M
- Penn 15 - 1,270 ft. 387 M ( May be old height? Havenât seen anything new in a while )
- 45 Broad St. - 1,127 ft. 344 M (only slightly smaller than John Hancock)
- 570 Fifth Avenue - 1,101 ft. 335 M
- 41 West 57 Street. - 1,100 ft. 335 M
- 740-750 8th Avenue - 1,067 ft. 325 M
- 341 - 347 Madison Avenue - 1,050 ft. 320 M
- 262 Fifth Ave - 1,011 ft. 308 M
- 247 Cherry St. - 1008 ft. 307 M
- 143 - 155 East 60th Street - 1000 ft. + Around 305 M (looks like it might be a stale proposal)
- 520 Fifth Avenue - 995 ft. 303 M
- 3 Hudson Boulevard - 987 ft. 300 M (barely made it)
*If Macyâs tower is 900 feet on top of the already existing building it would be 1,071 ft, putting it at 11 in the proposed section. However I can not confirm itâs height or if itâs 800 ft, or what.
Had 175 Park not been arbitrarily butchered, it would be 2 - 500 M / 1,600fters going up.
But ouside of Manhattan (and now Brooklyn), no supertalls. We are seeing some height though, Jersey City has 1 900 fter, and 3 700 fters. (With 5 more possibly on the way and 2 600fters also possibly on the way)
Queens has 2 700fters and 1 600fter.
There isnât much to talk about when it comes to the Bronx or Staten Island.

Nice! Imagine all of them if theyâre built!

Would be amazing! And I think NYC would take the supertall crown but I donât know how many Dubai is building.
Unfortunately tho itâs almost guaranteed that some of these are dropped, and some of them might be stale already
It would also have more supertalls than any city in the world, unless Dubai or either Chicago somehow pulls a magic trick and be a rival to NYC
Yes, thatâs what I meant by âSupertall Crownâ.
Also there is no way that Chicago even has a chance of doing that. They currently have 7 supertalls. (I donât know how many proposals tho, I think like 2 or 3? I know Tribune Tower East is really good) Which is commendable considering currently the rest of the US combined besides NY and Chicago, has 8 supertalls. But compared to the NYC itâs not even close.
NYC currently has 18 supertalls. 2 more are being built as we speak, 3 more have sites already prepared and Iâm pretty sure more than 8 are already approved to go through. With like 16 proposals ready to go.
Think about that.
As for Dubai I donât know. I donât know how many theyâre building
