X-Seed 4000, Tokyo

So, skyscrapers.com is really cool. I've been poking around it for a while, after Kevin showed it to me.

Here's the tallest building ever (seriously) envisioned:

X-Seed 4000, Tokyo

I was surprised to find out that Tokyo has less skyscrapers than London, and London only has about 1/5 that of New York(5000). But even New York pales compared to Hong Kong, which has almost 7,000 skyscrapers, with a population a million people LESS than New York.

The tallest Hospital in the world is in London, at 34 floors. The tallest hotel in the would would have been the Ryugyong Hotel in North Korea, but it was halted in 1992, and it's just been sitting empty, as a hollow concrete shell, for over 10 years.

I love huge buildings.
