SUPER SKYSCRAPERS

Oct. 30, 2021

Home to some of the world’s tallest buildings, China is now cracking down on the construction of ‘super skyscrapers’ in smaller cities across the country.

About:

The country’s strict new laws impose restrictions on the height of buildings based on the population density of different cities.
The latest guidelines limiting the height of super-high buildings is part of a larger crackdown on “vanity projects” in the country. It also aims to reduce China’s energy consumption. Many have argued that in low-density cities massive skyscrapers are merely impractical vanity projects.
