Introducing the Burj Dubai. Currently under construction, it has already overtaken Taipei 101 to become the new World's Tallest Building. When completed in 2009 it will be over half a mile high, with 160 storeys. That's like stacking 2 Empire State Buildings on top of each other. In this video from the Discovery channel, Matt Rogers takes a look inside the unfinished building including a view from the 137th floor.

I heard this was the last year they're having the fireworks display at the Taipei 101 skyscraper. Taipei 101 is currently the world's tallest building.

Progression (Develop & Destroy): This video/3d effects piece focuses on the development and construction spreading throughout untouched areas and how it is quickly becoming a destructive focre that will one day turn the planet into a concrete jungle. While development may be a good thing, it is also very destructive. Some of the real life footage was filmed in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, the M1 motorway near Long Eaton, the M40 near Warwick, and other areas close by.

The French guy Robert did it to protest global warming and said that anyone could climb the building. So this guy takes him up on the offer and promptly gets arrested when he reaches the top just like Robert.
