WORLD's NEXT TALLEST BUILDING(taller than "burj khalifa")

Burj Mubarak al-Kabir 

   The war is on for who constructs the tallest building in the world. On one hand you have the Burj Dubai, which is supposed to be over 800 meters; the actual height has not been disclosed and as they are in mid-construction, they may add on a bit to up the ante. The other hand sees the Burj Mubarak Al-Kabir coming up in the City of Silk or Madinat al-Hareer. This city outside a city is coming up in Kuwait. Burj Mubarak Al-Kabir will stand 1,001 meters (3,284 ft).

   Kuwait joins the race to build the world's tallest building after Kuwait's Municipal Council on Wednesday approved drawing sketches of Madinat al-Hareer.

   Madinat al-Hareer (Arabic: مدينة الحرير, meaning "City of Silk"), is a proposed 250 square kilometer planned urban area in Subiya, Kuwait, an area just opposite Kuwait City which, upon construction, would include the Burj Mubarak al-Kabir , the world's tallest structure, a natural desert reservation of 2 square kilometres, a duty free area which will be beside a new airport, in addition to a large business center, conference areas, environmental areas, athletic areas, and areas that concentrate on media, health, education, and industry. The City of Silk will also include numerous tourist attractions, hotels, spas, and public gardens. As of this time, it is unclear as to the scope of this project, if it has received any approvals, or if it has the required funding; however, the city will be built in individual phases with total completion within twenty-five years. The development will cost an estimated 25 billion Kuwaiti Dinars (86.1 billion USD). Burj Mubarak al-Kabir should not be confused with the Al Jaber Tower proposed by the famous Italian architect Amero Marchetti, part of the planned "ethic city". If built the Al Jaber Tower would reach 1852 meters.

   
   The City will be linked to Kuwait City by a causeway which will stretch across Kuwait Bay to make the driving time to the City of Silk from Kuwait City 23 mins.

The city will be composed of 4 main districts which are:

   1) The Financial District: will be located on the new coastal road and will be facing Kuwait City. This will be the CBD of the City of Silk and will be next to a new International Airport. The distrcit will of course contain the centrepiece tower, Mubarak Tower.

   2) The Entertainment District: will be facing a channel connecting the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers with the gulf. This district will contain resorts, hotels and entertainment villages.
The district will also contain a sports complex, a centre for sports medicine, a sports academy and water sports which will be found all along the channel.

   3) The Cultural District: will be located on the peninsula of the northern shore of Kuwait Bay. Over here there will be a centre for research and studies of ancient artefacts, a historical museum and an arts centre.
This district will be subdivided into 3 areas for academic, diplomatic and political studies.

   4) The Environmental District: will be located at the heart of the city with an area of 45 km2. This district will be part of the Bird Reserve for migrating birds from Africa to Central Asia. There will also be an Environmental Research Center for the scientific research of plant life and animal life of the region. It will also include an extended network of a university and a health resort.

   The entire city will be surrounded by an emerald belt which will contain ponds, lakes and parks which will ensure that no one is except a couple of steps away from the emerald belt.

   This project will be controlled by public shareholding companies where a part of these companies will be owned by the government and another part will be owned by the private sector and a large part will be filed for an IPO.

   Kuwait joins the race to build the world's tallest building after Kuwait's Municipal Council on Wednesday approved drawing sketches of Madinat al-Hareer. Madinat al-Hareer (meaning "City of Silk"), is a proposed 250 square kilometer planned urban area in Subiya, Kuwait, an area just opposite Kuwait City which, upon construction. The area will include Burj Mubarak al-Kabir witch will stand at 1,001 m tall almost twice the height of Taipei 101, officially still the world's tallest building.


Height 1,001 m (3,284 ft)
Height to roof 900 m
Height to top floor 897 m
Floors 250

comparison of some world's tallest buildings

   Mubarak Tower will be 1001 m high and will form the landmark for this new city. The tower was inspired by the 1001 nights story and the desert plant life. The tower will be composed of 7 vertical villages which will consist of hotels, offices, residences and entertainment facilities.
