This City Is Winning The Skyscraper Race

- Опубликовано: 17 июл 2024
- Hong Kong has one of the most iconic skylines in the world thanks to its high-rise buildings and extremely tall skyscrapers. There are more than 42,000 buildings in Hong Kong, and 482 of those are skyscrapers taller than 150 m. Limited space means that Hong Kong’s skyline is constantly changing. Skyscrapers are regularly demolished and replaced with taller and more expensive ones. Because of this, historic buildings in the city are incredibly rare. Hong Kong’s high-rises and skyscrapers are a combination of residential and commercial properties. Some skyscrapers in Hong Kong even have five-star hotels inside them. Hong Kong’s tallest building, the 490-m tall International Commerce Centre, cost about $3.5 billion to build. It has a 360-degree indoor observation deck called Sky100 and floors 102 to 118 are occupied by the Ritz Carlton Hotel Hong Kong. The skyscraper is also eco-friendly and uses a state-of-the-art network of sensors to monitor and reduce the building's energy consumption. Developers sometimes face major hurdles when building skyscrapers in Hong Kong. Nina Tower is Hong Kong’s sixth tallest building at a height of 320 m, but it was supposed to be much taller. Developers originally planned for Nina tower to be 518 m tall, but blueprints had to be revised because of the skyscraper’s proximity to Chek Lap Kok airport. Hong Kong even has plans to build an $80 billion artificial island to solve the city’s housing crisis. Here’s a look at Hong Kong’s skyscrapers. Keep watching to learn more about why Hong Kong has so many skyscrapers.

Been there, and it's true, it's packed with a lot of people not just the natives, but from all continents around the world
Y'all release so much good content. I love it!!
I would like to visit Hong Kong one day and try the local cuisine ! ;-)
Go to Tijuana
Hong Kong's local cuisine is really jeng(it's a cantonese, which means great)
But what may disappoint you is the quick pace of hong kongers lol, as no one's gonna enjoy food lol
@@josebaltazar2246 tijuana nice but dangerous

*bahut khub..Hong Kong bilkul ek khubsurat adhunik aur vividh shahar hai.. HK reminds me of India..Delhi in the east!*
Nice🔥
Someone else pointed out there's plenty of land to build, on the uneven hills. But Hong Kong has cheap taxes to encourage businesses. It relies on the initial sale of land to fund its tax department.
Hong kong probably has the most skyscrappers so they can all spot the invading chinese from 10 miles away 🤣🤣
Hongkong is so Mountainous
It's Difficult Build Building in Mountain
Not like Singapore, Generally Flat
Hong Kong is planning to reclaim a huge city which will become the third cbd~
It would probably kick off the reclamation work in 203X
See no one sees hong kong as a country but a city
Is this Max Alvarado City !!!
Like here residents of Hong Kong watching this video!!!!✌🏼
How lucky you are to live such a comfortable life🙂🙂 I am 20 years old. I have been living a very sad life since I was born😔 I've never really seen the food here. Thea has never been in such a comfortable vehicle. Since my father died, I was entrusted with the responsibility of the family. The money I earn from my job is not enough for my mother and me to live on. We are both hungry most of the day. Sometimes we go hungry for two days straight🥺 Our house is getting wet due to the prevailing rains these days. We are living a very difficult life. I hope someone who sees this will help us. Blessings of the Buddha to all🙏🙏

It is awesome to watch the richest on youtube

Yeah, the same is happening with Mumbai. Skyscrapers are being constructed everywhere!!! Like seriously everywhere! we need open space, but wherever I go, there's a construction site with a half built skyscraper. Well I guess skyscrapers are a necessity in Mumbai, and I can't stop it.😂😂
Yea and also 4 million people of Mumbai is struggling for water and food this is sucks
But slums should be removed first
You literally ignored the cage homes in some skyscrapers.
because the video is not about that. also he mentioned the tiny homes. the demand in hong kong is extremely high, hence the tiny homes.
yeah only for those who work in McDonald's
MINI NEW YORK* 😌
ALMOST EVERY BUILDING IN MONGKOK IS 50+

Only a very small stubborn minority are stuck on miles and feet.
