Dubai City Tower

The Dubai City Tower, also known as Dubai City, is an under construction megatall skyscraper announced in 2009. The building is supposed to be 2,400 metres (7,900 ft) tall. The building, created by an architect to display possibly future technologies, is the fourth tallest building ever fully envisioned after The Arconic Tower (5,000 m), X-Seed 4000 (4,000 m) and the Ultima Tower (3,218 m). If ever constructed, the Dubai City Tower will be much taller than any other current man-made structure, at almost three times the height of the Burj Khalifa, or almost seven times taller than the Empire State Building.

The design has 400 floors with a 200 km/h (120 mph) vertical bullet train acting as the main elevator. The design is inspired by the Eiffel Tower to better deal with the massive wind forces pushing on it. It has a central core with 6 outer buildings that are connected to the central core every 100 floors. This design both stabilizes the structure and spreads out its mass.

The Dubai City Tower is estimated to consume 37,000 MWh of electricity per year, with a 15 MW peak usage. The power would be mostly supplied by solar, thermal, and wind sources. The vertical bullet train would travel at speeds like 340 km/h if ever built.
