This list is quite outdated and Im sure that there are some projects missing and some numbers may be wrong. Other projects are stale proposals which Im not sure if they were finally cancelled or maybe they are just waiting for a resurrection as it happened to SWFC, that's why I included them too. If somebody tells me which ones were cancelled I will take them away. Some projects could be repeated under different names and designs as different proposals for the same project. Please, help me to correct this too and lets make a great job together.

*Guangzhou twin towers are not included since I think they still havent chosen final project from these 5 finalists: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. As soon as they chose one of them I will include it in the list.

Is that all????

It is truly amazing!

STR · June 28th, 2005, 12:16 AM

A lot of those buildings are not going to be built. Off the top of my head, Asia Plaza, Chongqing Tower, Xujiahui Tower and Gateway III aren't going to happen.

But that CCTV Tower is a cool one, ain't it?

malec · June 28th, 2005, 12:34 AM

That's quite a lot of towers. As someone here might say, not impressed

Codex · June 28th, 2005, 12:44 AM

There aren´t words to express my joy. Just incredible

DarkFenX · June 28th, 2005, 04:50 AM

Amazing at how many tall tower projects that may be built in the next few years in just China.

Skybean · June 28th, 2005, 05:00 AM

Wow.

ncon · June 28th, 2005, 09:56 AM

just oNe words to describe this WOW!!!!!!

is Shenyang Northeast International Trade Center 300m 84 ? U/c
from the same makers for Taipei 101?

Jheef · June 28th, 2005, 11:03 AM

:appluse: wowwwww.... very tall......

Our tallest building in Colombia is 196 meters

empersouf · June 28th, 2005, 11:14 AM

Incredible, although some towers are ugly, but the most are just stunning.

Monkey · June 28th, 2005, 12:08 PM

Stunning thread... America certainly has some catching up to do.

RafflesCity · June 29th, 2005, 01:07 AM

China is definitely king of big skyscrapers now.

Jose Luis · June 29th, 2005, 01:53 AM

I didn't know Taipei was part of China LOL
Its really impressive how China is booming in every aspect. Its a monster no kidding.

Taipei is part of the other China. Sort of like Northern Ireland being both part of Ireland and not.

America won't catch up. There is too much latent criticism in American society, and free speech lets it all out; Chinese officials silence complains regarding most development. This is a compliment on America's civil superiority, but it does not lend well to the skyscraper race.

I love the Gateway III design. It looks far larger than it is, almost as a stone monolith the size of Hawaii, belonging in a Blade Runner cityscape.

divi0013 · July 1st, 2005, 05:07 PM

i don't think america even wants to catch up. people like their suburbs. love it or hate it, the vast majority of americans don't really like living in big cities. Nor do they like living or working in skyscrapers. So when people move, they move to houses, and when coroporations expand, they build low rise office buildings in the suburbs.

i guess the vast majority of us just like our suburbs.

that said, I hope they keep building them in China! Most of those buildings are just stunning!

Travis007 · July 1st, 2005, 05:19 PM

Even the lesser known Chinese cities are building like crazy.

There's just too many cool towers!
