"How many visionary projects do you want?" Tokyo: "YES"
Dubai: "maybe"

The only one of the last that counts is the one labeled "approved." Visionary project means someone just drew it up on an iPad.
Most of those projects are metabolism visions. There is a reason why that architectural movement died out - just too over the top
I love how preposterous the designs get at the end. Like seriously, someone just went “what if we built a skyscraper so tall it reached the stratosphere”.
It also would literally be taller than Everest (the final tower).
and Everest as we are used to seeing it starts around 5000m at the base so it appears less than 4km high. a 10km high structure would be like nothing ever seen on Earth. The air would be so thin at the top you would likely pass out and die within 10 minutes if you went outside
@@bdonthebrat5021 yeah air would be thinner but probably there might be a plumbing system, not just for water but for oxygen. If it is possible for commercial jets to have a pressurized air cabin then we can make it work for astronomically high buildings.
It would be a good way to save on rocket fuel. The building could be used as a space elevator.
The point is, we won't be alive to see these finished builds
I actually really like the concept of a massive 1km tall obelisk-like building in Egypt
That building is a stunning design. The lighting of the corner details on the bottom half... it's really a striking building. It says it is slated to begin construction in 2024. I really hope they do it, because it is a remarkable design.
I really hope they do it, if you give me choice of this or that 10km tower, I choose this every day
Welcome to Egypt's Versailles, you may enjoy the glory of our new capital and building, but not for long.
FYI, The Tokyo Babel tower's height is the cruising altitude of most airliners. Imagine sitting on the observation deck of that and watching airliners go by BELOW you.
The thing has enough area to build an airport like 1/3 of the way UP the tower.
@@mycroft16 i mean it would be like 4 times larger than the largest mountain on the planet, it is a crazy idea. You would not be able to breathe at all on top.
@@bentownsend4017 Sure you would. You just wouldn't be able to have it open to the outside at that level. We've built things that sit significantly higher up and have people breathing just fine inside. Not saying it's easy, and there are far larger engineering issues than that one... but nothing technologically impossible.
@@mycroft16 yeah ok true. but that volume is almost unimaginably immense for a single project, and I think it's only something we should attempt if we sort every other issue on the planet first. Bring the materials from mars.
@@bentownsend4017 Oh absolutely. It's definitely not something we should be doing any time soon. And at some point it may actually be part of the solution to other problems. Who knows what crazy things humanity will do in the future. We are a species that loves to push boundaries. The Burj Khalifa was impossible not that long ago.
Imagine how insane of a skyline you'd get if all of these skyscraperss were in one massive city.
I will jump from there!
Skyline ? City ? The last one is taller than mount everest. How will you fit them in a city ?
@@mynk_rjpt in his toilet 🚽
I can imagine a high detail cityscape concept art in my mind already. :O
the last buildings or will be smaller or it wont leave the paper project, even with modern engeniring and archtetic, there is a limit of heigh and area size in the mega city, the last building, put this in tokyo..........they re crazy just by being paid to imagine this xD the future building probably will be more functional, ecogreen and technological, not much bigger
Tokyo acting like they have all the land in the world for those projects
They’re plan is to build it in the bay. Like a floating city surrounded by another city. Kinda cool.
Tokyo (Sardine city )
@samantha ssmith Yeah lol. But remember, these are just concepts from years ago. They know they can’t afford to build them anytime soon so the “grand plan” is so far just on paper.
The Philippines: 👀
@samantha ssmith Ok yeah u do have a point there. Being one of the worlds biggest and most populated cities in the world comes with a cost.
The first half: "Guys we need to go up, it's too crowded." The last half: "We're not compensating for anything."
The X-Seed 4000, Shizimu Mega-City Pyramid, and the Tokyo Tower of Babel were all meant to be a methodical way to make a city inside a single building. That sounds weird, buildings inside a bigger building, but this was quite systematic because now, you can walk from your grandma's house on the other side of the city and stay in the same building. But no one wanted the idea of living in a city that has 1 building. Well, there's a town where everyone lives in 1 building. Its name is Whittier and it's in Alaska. But Whittier is just creepy. Unsurprisingly, no one wanted to spend more than the world's GDP on a 10,000-meter building that takes 150 years to build, so it wasn't built.
@@PotatoeSnow Yeah I know and it's insane
@@PotatoeSnow Neom poses too many problems and Saudi doesn't give a fuck about any of it lmao
Hey whittier is nice. It just got that nickname because the town only has like 200 inhabitants anyway. There are uncountable amounts of condominiums in cities with that much or way more people living in it and getting their everyday needs in it. I guess with bigger projects like with tokyo, it begs the question why? What’s the advantage to cover a whole town with a building? So you can control the weather? Just doesn’t seem to outweigh the gigantic, exorbitant expense of work and money required to build that in the first place
What about the Aeropolis 2001?
There were so many documentaries about Shimizu Mega city and XSeed 4000 when KZhead was just starting. I'm actually surprised and quite nostalgic to see them in this list.
Same I remember fanboying over those when I first heard about it
@@lucakohlmayr4517 that Discovery Channel episode of (I think) Modern Marvels and the Shimizu Mega City Pyramid was awesome
These are indeed really awesome towers and builds, and I hope we get to see some of them get built in some... distant future. 😊 I may throw the Bionic Tower in here too. I first heard about it when I was a child (I heard about the Bionic even before hearing about Shimizu Mega Pyramid and the X-Seed), so it gave me nice Nostalgia vibes too. The Bionic Tower was the one which made me very interested in future skyscrapers and towers. 😊👍
@@maultiercolt3082 lol it's never happening. there's absolutely no need for humans to build such outrageously tall structures. not too mention it's probably impossible anyways
These things (content) seem to be recycling more and more. It’s great that they do- perhaps a younger more intelligent person will actually contribute.
That 10km building will need to be airtight like a spaceship with airlocks at a handful of floors. Otherwise people at the top are going to suffocate from lack of oxygen.
interesting note, lots of tall buildings are already running at positive pressure.
What about snow accumulating at highest levels? 🤔
Its not a building but the usa has something that is 20km. And no its not here ill take over 100 years to build.
@@TimeJudger Heating, sloped surfaces and runoff channels?
Lol
Rip WTC 1:33 we will always remember you
You know those very large future buildings could be the kind of thing to build on other planets where many of the inhabitants would likely want to be under one giant roof since you would require a space suit to go outside. Another location a super large building might be preferred is in deathly freezing regions of the world where people live. Any place where going outside is not desirable.
“Ryugyong Hotel, Pyongyang - Under Construction” When has the Ryugyong Hotel NEVER not been Under Construction…?!
I think it's actually finished now?
@@AgeraXXX externally it looks that way but internally it is not finished
Actually finishing the building is probably too expensive for Kims dysfunctional regime. Absolutely pathetic, especially compared to the succes of the countries surrounding it.
@@haroeneissa790 Finishing the Ryugyong Hotel is going to be expensive for North Korea in general. It’s been under construction since 1987, when Kim Jung Un’s grandfather was still in charge of the DPRK

Jeez Tokyo is just gonna be one big skyscraper in the future
Its crazy how Frank Lloyd Wright thought of "The Illinois" in 1956 when he was 89 years old, and now the very similarly-shaped Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world.
I love the Japanese's passion for making visionary projects. Good for you, Tokyo!
They already have a 634m and 333m tower but they didnt include it on the video
Yeah it's all fun and jokes until they get earthquake and all of it collapse into half and becomes trash. Japan has earthquakes. That's why they can't make tall skyscrapers.
@@life-xyz82647 ?????they have a 333m and 634m skyscraper, they're both world-class towers my guy
These projects were dreamt up at a time when Japan had a growing population and booming economy. It has neither of those anymore. You can only justify such massive mega-projects if you have a HUUUGE population to begin with. Japan's population is expected to be halved by 2100. In fact the entire world is experiencing a demographic crunch as people stop having children in sufficient numbers to maintain population growth. Right now we have nearly 8 billion people, with the same population density as Afghanistan at 58 per square km. that's quite low since we have a TON of empty land to build on. America alone has enough empty, barren land to home billions of people. This isn't visionary, it's fucking megalomaniacal.
@@mlc4495 true. I highly doubt any of Japan’s visionary project will come true. The country’s economy is crumbling as well. And why would they want to build such a big eyesore in the first place?
Millennium Tower, Aeropolis 2001, Shimizu Mega City Pyramid, X-Seed 4000, and Tokyo Babel Tower are all projects that were planned or conceived during Japan's bubble economy around 1990. However, all of these projects are now frozen or gone, and there is no possibility of their realization. On the other hand, in Tokyo today, a 325-meter high skyscraper is under construction, which is expected to be completed the year after next.
Thank God! Tokyo didn't deserve to have buildings as ugly as these.
At least someone understands the truth of it. Thank you. Most of those projects were never intended to be actually built. Why they are included in a supposedly credible list of the world’s tallest buildings is beyond me. Ridiculous.
@@bumble.bee22 Fuck you, x-seed is beautiful
@@mensrea1251 Oh look, you again, how about you piss off already? people watching this channel WANT to see extreme scales, if you don't like it then go watch the 2d comparisons and nitpick _those_
Shimizu mega city piramid is actually supposed to be built, it wasn't designed to just remain on paper
As we near the end of 2022, I'm confident that Burj Dubai is going to remain the tallest in the world for some time. All others are "dreamy" and most probably not going to ever happen. As for the Jeddah (Kingdom) tower, it appears to have stalled construction or is fully abandoned.
True. Anything after the Jeddah is fantasy.
I can totally imagine the last one being built in 1000 years.
Agree
They've resumed construction on the KSA Jeddah Tower recently, pretty stoked!
“How tall do you want your buildings to be?” Tokyo: *Yes.*
I’d love to see a video similar to this but with proposed, unbuilt and cancelled buildings.
Yeah it’d be cool to see the Chicago Spire in one of these
NUKE
@@btab2772 that was going to be my favorite building! Literally a giant beautiful drill , sucks it got canceled.
I mean, that is most of the Tokyo Visionary projects...
Honestly, the Empire State building, even if it isn't the tallest, is the most impressive. The thing was built in the 30s in less than *one year* and still holds the record for length of time it was the tallest building in the world. Plus, the symbolic factor; since it was built during the depression and was so much taller than anything else, it was such a symbol of hope. Also it's probably the most durable of any building on the list and looks freaking dope.
Also, it's spire actually serves a useful purpose: as a mooring dock for airships. Which is also a very cool and unique feature.
about a year and two months
It's like the great great great grandparent of all architecture we see today i think
And will always be a symbol of hope.
@@kjj26k has it actually ever been used as an airship dock?
Well information, well editing, well animation, Well done!
Last two buildings are taller then Japan's tallest mountain WTF!?!?!?!?! They really might make x-seed4000 マジで作りそうｗ 何せ計画したグループ大成建設やったｗ たまげたわｗ
the last building is taller than mount Everest (tallest mountain on earth)
Funniest part is japan doesnt even have a +300 building, many of other asian countries already reached +400
@@cabrakan4114 it's because of the earthquake
It's a shame Tokyo didn't just really go for it with a 50,000 meter pyramid that covers the whole city. Maybe with an airport at the top so planes don't even have to waste time descending. It's got as much chance at being built as one of the other two buildings that have multiple times more building material in them than all the rest of the buildings combined lol.
The problem comes into play with things like air pressure and temperature, also being affected by the weather. I think 10,000 or 15,000 feet is where the "death zone" begins for humans.
@@Major003 The Death Zone is anything above 26,000 feet. The city of La Riconada in Peru is about 16,000 feet elevation. Anyway any ultra tall buildings would be pressurized and climate controlled.
I heard the pyramid might be build in 2030. It couldn't be build at first because the metal wasn't strong enough for something so big.
Japan has an earthquake. So you can't build a tall building. And it can't be built into the Japanese economy right now. Japan is doomed.
@@happy-nb9jd A 10 km building like the Babel Tower will just shrug off any earthquake.

Just remember that every single building on here was a visionary project at one point. People thought the Empire State Building was impossible. People thought the Burj Khalifa was impossible. And here we are with a 1km tall Obelisk approved and starting construction next year. When metaBallStudios does their video in 50 years... which of these "impossible" ideas will end up being reality, and what things that we can't even imagine will have been built.
Sad to see that the Jeddah tower is still in development but on hold for financial reasons it will be nearly 1000m probably will be finished in 2027

I like how it actually tells how tall they are in order
And after that came the market crash as theres no demand for any of those projects , companies get smaller , home office , less need of space and workers.
Some of these are meant to be housing though
Thanks. I love these types of videos!
Very good video, you could have put the Hermitage project (in project) and the Link Tower (under construction) for France too
Even though Merdeka 118 is not the tallest but it is one of the tallest and should be in this video. it is 644m tall, it is still under construction but it is likely to be finish next year

Imagine being in the Tokyo Tower of Babel. Over 30,000, around 35 thousand feet up in the air, you're up higher than the peak of Mount everest. You wouldn't be able to outside on the top floor without an oxygen tank and one hell of a winter suit due to the low air pressure and extreme cold. And imagine looking down.

As a Canadian it stings just a little to not see the CN Tower. I get that it's not really a building since there aren't floors, just the observation deck at the top, but it was the tallest free standing structure in the world for like 30 years.
It should tbh considering Dubai Creek is in it and its only supposed to hv 30 usable floors near the top.
There are lot's of beautiful Canadian Skyscrapers. There should be some on this list
@@Ipoop7colors Lol but none are tall enough. Canada has a lot of skyscrapers, only thing is they’re all short for some reason.

I think the feasibility of Tokyo is very high, Japan has always wanted to develop to the sky, the possibility of X-seed will be relatively large.
It may be feasible to construct but not practical in reality. It takes a lot of energy to pump water to the top and the pipes used for toilet sewerage last roughly 100 years. I would rather see a structure built that is more resistant to mould and can last for 1000 years. Modern buildings get demolished within 100 years.

The animation is one of the best representation of the scale of man-made structures. Thanks Metaballstudios
I know right, especially when it's moving what happen next.
Even though it would have been the smallest building on this list at 205m, I would have loved to see the Singer Tower in New York which stood as the tallest building on Earth from 1908-1909. Demolished in 1969 P.S. excellent video! The speed and quality you make these are astounding!
Other honorable mention is the costanera center which stands in Santiago Chile as the tallest building in South America.
I saw a video on the singer not long ago. Was a beautiful building for sure
I was such a unique looking building it is a shame its gone.
@@obinnaobiekwe4910 the singer was an office building but with its obscure slender tower it was built out of time for the more modern day office demands of the 60s 70s. Building a straight based tower based on the orignal "fat" singer base created far more space. One liberty plaza that replaced it has virtually an acre of space per floor. Ironic thing is with the introduction of the internet + covid, office working has now moved to being mainly done from home, making buildings like one lib plaza redundant anyway 🤷🏽♂️
A subtle nod, I loved how as you were comparing each building you put the 1 WTC. In the spot it actually is in NYC. Right next to the WFC.
That Tokyo Tower of Babel it is already a city itself
No it's the whole country
There was a proposal back in the early 20th Century where they suggested to build aerodromes that were on massive, concrete towers so they they were already at operating altitude for the aircraft of the day. Even for early biplanes, this would've been the equivalent of building an airport on top of stilts thousands of meters high.
what was the name of the project?
I always thought that a building's height counting its spire is "cheating", I think its height should be up to its usable space. I'll accept the Empire State Building spire because it was meant as a mooring dock for airships but a spire just to be taller? That's just lame
Yeah !! There’s a rule in place that a spire cannot be more than half of a building’s height. I commented that this list is kinda wonky because there are buildings that are either shorter and/or taller based on their roof and/or architectural/spire/ decorative heights !
@@ascott2168 especially when they are placed side-by-side like here, I can see, sure it's taller because of the spire but if I look at it as a whole, it looks shorter because I don't really think of the spire as part of the building when judging its height
@@lunatickgeo When it comes to building heights, my thing is how high can people go safely, without safety equipment & stand on both feet with the ESB being the exception !
@@ascott2168 same
Burj Khalifa would be only around 600-700 meters if the skyscraper's spire is removed. Also, there will be a skyscraper in Malaysia that will be completed in the next year considering the project is almost finished. I think the height is around 650-700 meters. It's also have a spire, a long one. But still, the whole spire is an usable space, because the spire is meant to be an observatory deck.
Placing extremely high antennas on the very top to inflate the building's height has always amused me.
Imagine some dude trying to end his life by jumping off the Tower of Babel and it takes him like 10 minutes to get to the bottom
I remember skyscrapers being drawn up in comparison pictures of the Titanic or the Seawise Giant. If some of these hypothetical ever got built they'd have to draw them next to Star Destroyers instead.
2:58 a wild godzilla appears
Lol
I saw the Burj Khalifa about 2 years before completion, and at the time I was told that upon completion there would be provision to add another so many metres to its height to fend off competition for the title of world’s tallest. Not sure how they’re going to stuff another 1000 or so on top to compete with these Tokyo things. It was already ridiculous before it was finished.
No matter how tall they got, Tokyo was like "hold my sushi".
This was so well made and crafted, thank you for making this!!!! When One WTC started rising on it's actual site I literally teared up and I usually don't, very powerful
I was worried that no one but me had noticed that One WTC was in its actual and proper location.
The old twin towers should've been right next to the new one wtc too
Awesome! Love to see these proposed towers and 'scrapers in here too 😊👍 The Bionic Tower gave me some Nostalgia vibes, as it was the first "proposed" tower I heard of and made me a fan of tall buildings in general. I'm happy to see it in here too 😁 But: I think I would need to be set asleep and frozen in for ages if I wanna see the uncancelled, proposed buildings get built in reality 😁
I will see a massive tower consisting of 12-15 football stadiums which will be at different levels of height and distance from the center of the tower with hotels, a huge parking lot, large spaces (park / restaurant / water networks / gym conference / concert) so that a World Cup can happen without changing location, it could even be a place for a future football league (like United States - China) a building as big as a city. I even think that will be the future. I'm sure it could happen one day =)
I like the X-Seed 4000 for its stability. Big buildings balancing on their toes make my hackles rise.

@@thatperformer3879 Yoo, you ain’t lying😂😂💀💀
Japanese earthquakes are like: Am i joke for you?
*that escalated quickly* on a whole other level
Every 100 m above sea level, the temperature decreases 0,6 °C. Imagining the Babel, the temperature decreases 60°C. Insane
Shimizu Tower would be really cool cause it's not made just to be tall but made for natural disasters in mind and Japan really needs it. Probably won't happen as envisioned though.
According to some sites, shimzu tower will supposedly start being built in 2030 and will be finished in 2110, which is a shame, cuz you and me won't be able to see this building that will completely change the image of Tokyo.
@@just_another_internet_man755 Taking into account the current situation in Japan, it is almost impossible for such a structure to be built.
@@nateriveer_8590 If Japan changes their policy on immigration, there's a high chance we will see the shimizu pyramid being built. The xseed 4000 and tokyo tower of babel is impossible tho.
@@jisooislove988 it's possible, but it's currently easier for a project of this size to be built in China
@@jisooislove988 Impossible.... Japan has limited land for such a huge object so you have to build it where people already live. That means that you have to destroy thousands of perfectly fine buildings, relocate people to other parts of the country cus you removed the housing in the place where they lived and hope that you have enought money, hands and time to finish the giant project you have started. Then you also have to hope that people actually wanna move back to the place from where they had to move in the first place, cus while that thing was being build, other parts of the country was being developed into something else that people actually learned to live in. All that is just too huge a risk. Remember that in order to go all Akira, Tokyo has to be destroyed first.
Still, the story of the Tower of Babel did not teach people anything)
Wow I didn’t had idea of the existence of that huge Mecca building, and it’s taller and more beautiful than the famous ones that everybody knows.
That sudden 200m jump to the Burj Khalifa.
Once in my childhood I drew a tower 100 km high, it should be the first. I will apply for my visionary project. By the way, thanks to the author for such a beautiful comparison, it's always interesting.
Early by few days. Just yesterday Merdeka Tower 118 in Kuala Lumpur, claimed the 2nd highest building in the world, at 678.9m
good video MetaBallStudios
I don't think Jeddah Tower will be complete yet, so it's beautiful and gorgeous looking.
