Skyscrapers 2009 – The World’s Tallest Buildings
Skyscrapers 摩天大廈 2009 – The World’s Tallest buildings 世界最高的大樓
Cramped into 10 minutes, i present you an update of my Skyscraper video. A lot has changed in the skyscraper world since April. New stats, new construction photos, and a recession, delaying several projects.
I put quite a bit of effort into eliminating the moire patterns from the 2008 video, the overall image quality greatly improved. However, due to the larger format of my composition (960×720), i couldn’t always take the “best” photos, since many come in very small resolution.
If i ever make an update, it’ll have to be a two-part video, unless YouTube changes their policies. So this better stay accurate for a very long time 
I didn’t attempt to include Nakheel Tower and the various Korean supertall projects, as their construction is unpredictably far in the future (~2020), and i didn’t have any room left anyway, hah.
I didn’t have room for the credits this time, so here they are:

The next tallest …
The next tallest building in the world is said to be “The Nakheel Tower or Al Burg or Tall Tower in Dubai. Set to finish in 2020.
Speaking About Dubai…the reason why they are getting involved in huge development is because they are becoming a very economic up-rising place in the world, in other words, they have a lot of money.
Also, many of the buildings shown are in construction, havn’t started or some canceled.
Amazing Video!!

hey fellow american …
hey fellow american take it easy all of the buildings on here are going under construction in the near future, i know but i also wish that the freedom tower would become the WTB but “thats too bad” for us at least we can pretend like those buildings are in our country
This video is bull …
This video is bull shit… If your doing a 2009 skyscrapers thing, you only gotta add towers that are completed, or are built somewhat and at a certian hight. Lot of the buildings in this video were canceled late 2008 and this year due to bad economy etc…. Some of the builders ran out of money even though they laid a foundations, aka, chicago spire, the freedom tower.. the freedom tower should of been allready high in the air by now. i guess someones going broke…
scienceguy474 you …
scienceguy474 you olny like the chicago spire because it looks like your dads cock
Chicago Spire is …
Chicago Spire is actully being Build It Is on Hold though for proof go by Lakshore Drive and ull see huge hole were its gonna be FREEDOM TOWER IS CRAP CRAP FREEDOM TOWER
that is… till …
lol then the Burj gets all except the one it has now
that is… till december 2nd
chicago spire is …
chicago spire is already under construction but its a t a fault so for sure it will be built but not necessarily any time soon sadly, people working on the freedom tower claim the prediction of 2018 is a lie and that it will be done by 2012 or so.
Russia Tower wont …
Russia Tower wont be built, and most likely neither will Chicago Spire, actually some more 500 + buildings in Dubai and China will most likely be built though, hopefully Freedom Tower gets built and operational before 2018, recent reports are somewhat dim on that, it really depends on how fast the economy goes, because no work has been done on it yet. Also with the Nakheel Tower be built (bigger than Burj Dubai) in Dubai in the next ten years?
tallest building …
tallest building under construction: Burj Dubai
Tallest building official height: taipei 101
tallest building including antennae: sears tower
tallest building roof height: shanghai financial tower
