DUBAI CITY TOWER

# also known as the Dubai Vertical City
# second tallest building ever fully envisioned after the X-Seed 4000
# The design has 400 floors with a 200 km/h (125 mph) vertical bullet train 
# As you already know, world’s tallest tower can be found in Dubai, it’s the Burj Dubai. Once again, you already know that the upcoming world’s tallest tower will also be found in Dubai, the Nakheel Tower. But what happens when these towers will be just too small? Well, I’m really tired about this but those guys in Dubai aren’t and they are planning to build even a bigger tower than Nakheel, the Dubai City Tower.
# The upcoming world’s tallest tower will measure 1.55-mile high and it will be build as a city within a city as the tower itself is a city which will be build in the Jumeirah City which will be build in Dubai
“The hardest part is the servicing of the height: the transportation, power, water and waste disposal,” said Alastair Colling, from the International Council on Tall Buildings.
# This vertical city will consist of six separate towers which will form together this marvelous structure. The transportation will be ensured by a 125mph bullet train which will send up&down passengers.
The Dubai City Tower is estimated to consume 37,000 MWh of electricity per year, with a 15 MW peak usage. The power will be mostly supplied by solar, thermal, and wind sources.
