China’s Broad Sustainable Building, a construction firm, has revealed its plans of constructing a 2km high tower.
Immediately after the designs and plans of the kilometre long Kingdom Tower were released the researchers decided to find upto which height the buildings can be constructed without much problem. Dr. Sang Dae Kim, chairman of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat #-Link-Snipped-#Â that a 2km high tower could soon be a reality and it is actually possible.

Zhang Yue , CEO, Broad Sustainable Building on an interview to "The Made-in-China CEO" magazine said that the firm is planning to construct a two-kilometre high tower which will have 636 floors. Dismissing the idea that they want to construct tall buildings for the sensationalism, he said that such tall structures are very essential to meet the land shortages problem.

Land shortages are already a grave problem. There's also the very serious transportation issue. We must bring cities together and stretch for the sky in order to save cities and save the Earth."
The firm is already known for some fast track constructions in China. The construction of a 16-storey building, ‘The New Ark Hotel’, in just six days made the firm first come under the limelight. Then they came up with the construction of 30-storey hotel in Hunan province and this was finished in just 15 days.
They also plan to construct an 838-meter high tower, titled “Sky City 220â€, in four months time from the time of ground breaking. It will be 10 taller than Burj Khalifa, which is currently the world’s tallest tower. This sky city tower will have schools, hospital, 17 helipads and will be capable of housing 30,000 people.
Though the 2km high tower will have some disadvantages, like wastage of floor area by the elevators, it still has to be researched. The conditions of the wind and the temperatures must be analysed. The location of the tower and the timeline of the project are yet to be revealed.
