张跃要建2000米 636层的登天大楼

长沙郡

新一代大胆且标新立异的CEO们正在将中国经济推向高峰。其中一个典型就是张跃，他有着崇高目标和雄心壮志，包括建造一个竖向版的万里长城。

张跃翻阅着桌上的蓝图，拂页间充满感情。在谈论到他的新项目时，偶尔还会停下来凝视着某张图纸。这个计划野心勃勃得好像无法实现：采用自己研发的快速建造技术，仅用4个月的时间，建成220层的世界第一高楼。张跃今年52岁，瘦却结实、充满激情，他将这座楼称之为“天空城市”。张跃认为“天空城市”可以解决这个世界大部分的污染、堵塞、交通问题、甚至可以完全净化大楼空气，解决疾病问题。这座838米高的楼（比当前世界第一高楼迪拜塔还要高10米）将会有多所学校、一所医院、17个直升机起降场，能容纳约3万人。它将成为一个真正的天空中的城市。

张跃的梦想并没有在这里停留。他办公室的墙上钉着一个更为无畏的计划 ——一个几乎荒谬地高达2公里的巨楼。当问道这座636层的登天大楼成功建造的机率有多大时，张跃没有丝毫犹豫地回答：“100%！有人说建这么高一个楼是在哗众取宠。并不是这样。土地短缺已经成为了一个巨大的问题，交通问题也非常严重。我们必须将城市联合起来，向空中发展，拯救城市，拯救地球。我们必须根除更多毫无意义的交通，减少对道路和交通的依赖性！”

执着追求崇高的理想是张跃在远大集团成功的特点，也是中国这个世界第二大经济体迅猛增长热潮中，众多创业型管理人才的共同特点。这些CEO们成功的因素包括：1）有抓住某个大胆、甚至古怪想法的视野和勇气；2）能矢志不移地创建一家公司；3) 有向前迈进及压倒质疑的超级自信。如娃哈哈宗庆后（直到去年都是中国最富裕的人）、吉利李书福、华为任正非等中国创始人兼CEO都具有神话一般引人注目的性格，并浸染着公司的方方面面。Chris Marquis是哈佛商学院组织行为方面的教授，他研究过中国的企业家，认为：“在这些创业型企业中，产品和服务就是创始人的激情所在。他们是公司第一名员工，现在都拥有了上亿的销售额，以及成千的员工。这些CEO们亲历公司每一阶段的发展，他们的愿景是推动公司成长的原因。”

这些企业家们都以敢想闻名，而且越来越敢想。张跃一个非常大的想法是要通过节约能源、减少拥挤和污染、净化住宅和办公室内的脏空气(据他称，68%的人类疾病源于脏空气)，给人类提供更加健康的场所。“每一个时代都有其特定的问题，每一个时代都有其特定的使命。”张跃在某次位于长沙郊区的远大总部采访中如是说，“我们这个时代的问题不是生产力，也不是财富，更不是政治或者民主。在今天的社会，包括在中国及世界上的任何一个国家，都在面临日益加剧的环境污染问题。”

张跃位列胡润中国富人榜中第186位，靠工业制冷系统和空调坐拥11.9亿美金的资产。他创办公司后发明了多项非电空调专利，之后业务范围拓展至工业级制冷机及空气净化系统，目前在马德里机场、某个美国军事基地等欧美地区都有设备安装。

2008年四川地震导致了87000人丧生或失踪，这是张跃的一个转折点。地震中大片粗滥建筑的楼房，包括教学楼在内的倒塌，让张跃感到非常痛心。于是，他开始着手设计更为安全、更为环保的建筑。张跃意识到，通过预制楼房主板并将管道和线路提前安装，只要主板准备就绪，建造速度将会大大提高，而且只会产生1%的建筑垃圾。去年12月，远大可建公司用15天的时间就在湖南搭建了一座30层的楼（这段视频在网上吸引了5百万的点击）。张跃接下来计划建造一个50层的大楼，此后可能还会有多座30层的大楼。与此同时，他也会竭力争取天空城市J220的建设资金。张跃还希望能够通过建立加盟制度让这种建筑发展到任何地方，目前他已经在中国发展了6个加盟商，目标是在全世界发展150家。

保守派中国CEO

大体说来，在中国有两种形式的CEO。传统的是国有企业（SOE）的领导。这些企业一般都是垄断型、没什么生气的庞然大物，包括通信运营商、银行、保险公司、石油及钢铁制造商等。领导这些企业的通常都是聪明、有才干的经理人，但大部分都是共产党的坚定拥护者，曾默默无闻地为当地或中央政府机构及部门服务。他们普遍都不愿意大的改变，也没有什么改革的点子，希望平稳发展，将“颠覆”这两个字视为厄运（而很多西方CEO则很乐于接受这个词语）。Katerine Xin是位于上海的中欧国际商务学校的教授，她认为：“这种职业发展途径更倾向于制度化，追求的是组织的平稳发展。这些CEO们与中央政策、政治、地缘政治环境更为合拍，更愿意通过平稳的梯子一步一步向上发展。

中国建设银行是世界资本市场第二大债权人，很好地诠释了SOE这个模式。该银行在任CEO郭树清曾任贵州省副省长、中国外汇监管人，去年还被任命为中国证券交易监管机构的一把手。他最著名的言论为：“听取两个极端的意见，然后采取折中方案”。这反映了他想要尽可能地取悦大多数人的意愿。

非学院派CEO

新一类的中国CEO们在20世纪90年代中国经济改革的浪潮中开始崭露头角。在中国，创业型的CEO与国企的CEO们没有太多共同的性格特点或管理技巧。他们热衷于创新及抓住机会，渴望留下传奇，他们的不屈不挠也一度成为佳话。娃哈哈的宗庆后在饮品市场占有一席之地后获得了飞跃发展。他最大的成就之一是在中国农村深度发展了经销网络，让遥远的农村地区可以购买到娃哈哈的产品。宗庆后也因其性格坚韧，并愿意让有才能的员工放手大干而闻名。

这些创业型CEO们中很多都是从贫困中成长起来的商人，由小规模的家具厂、房地产、汽车部件等逐渐扩大。杜克荣就是这样创立了他的私人控股集团——位于天津的鑫茂集团。他从一个建筑材料公司起家，然后发展向房地产，最后扩大到了现在的鑫茂集团。目前他拥有3万多员工，及涉及到房地产、建筑、酒店、光导纤维、软件及其他高科技领域等的100多家分公司。2010年，杜克荣引起了广泛关注——他准备斥资10亿欧元，购买一家荷兰电缆制造商。虽然这笔投标最终以失败告终，但却很好的体现了这一代新生中国CEO的风格：富裕、热情、骄傲、精力旺盛，但缺乏在中国之外的市场经验。

“他们对所处的环境非常敏感，对新生机非常警觉也异常灵活”，Katerine Xin评论说，“他们非常重要的性格特点是相当现实：‘只要行得通的，都可以尝试。’”

开智能车的史蒂夫-乔布斯

不论是在工作还是私人生活中，张跃都好像希望理解所有的事情。当还是艺术专业的学生时，他就希望能理解达芬奇的“蒙娜丽莎”。导师告诉他，要想真正理解，就必须动手去画。于是，张跃成功地亲手临摹出了这幅作品。

张跃是一个事必躬亲的管理者。哈佛的Marquis这样评论道：“他对产品的研究与设计，以及创造新事物富有极大热情。对新产品的创造能力一直在激励他。他对自己角色一个很大的定位是：设计人员的沟通者。听上去张跃有点像晚期的乔布斯，而且Marquis也认为这样比较很公平。张跃推崇的是一种完全利他，几近修道的生活，对员工像是一位圣人，或是一个父亲，为所有人提供免费食宿。员工们穿白衬衫，深色西裤，每个人的工作牌上都有一句激励语，比如“不断创新”。张跃的工作牌上写的是“完善自我”。

这条警句领导着张跃的集团总部——远大城内1000多名员工的生活（集团总人数4000多人）。远大城内小超市无人看管，员工只需刷卡自主消费；宿舍房门永远都不用上锁。所有员工都应遵守《地球公民的生活态度》这本小册子，包括“出行尽量骑自行车或坐公交车”、“不到万不得已不坐飞机。”公司要求员工使用节能灯泡，少买外地食品、包装食品和冷藏食品，“最重要的是，只生一个孩子。尽快让人口数量回到地球可承载的水平”。

张跃自己为员工树立了榜样。他和夫人只有一个儿子，去年从宾夕法尼亚州卡耐基梅隆大学毕业。张跃住在远大城里，开的是一个很小的智能车——大排量汽车是被远大所不齿的。张跃解释道：“我们必须要有改变！如果中国还是坚持现在这样的趋势，到2030年就会像美国一样，每个人都拥有小汽车，农田也将全部变成停车场和高速公路。”

当问到西方商务管理技巧的什么方面吸引到他时，张跃笑道，“我不谈论管理。每个人都必须要学会正直，做一个诚信的人。如果人人讲诚信，根本不需要去管理。人类在环境方面是最不诚信的，这是过度消费的问题。”

这就很好的解释了他对浪费行为发起的挑战。《地球公民的生活态度》中规定，不去购买一次性用品，不买看了就扔的书、报。浪费食物在远大是非常严重的错误。一位员工回忆某次因为晚饭没吃完就倒掉，被罚了200元。他的照片还被张贴到食堂，且2天内禁止再到食堂用餐。

远大员工认为，这些规矩让他们对节约肥皂、回收塑料及远离的士等行为更为关注。26岁的Chairles Qiang在远大工作了3个月，他说：“我们必须遵守各项规则，比如说节约热水、节约能源等。但是老实说这些对我是有好处的。我可以学会怎样做一个人，尤其是一个有绅士风度的人。”

办公区域内的灯在午餐时间会关掉，所以任何仍呆在办公桌旁的员工只能在自然光下工作。办公桌和办公书架全都是用回收自远大从日本采购的铜管的包装木箱做成。张跃的办公室光线比较暗，遥控窗帘将户外阳光的热气遮挡，房间内灯保持关闭状态。他很频繁地通过自己公司研发的生命手机检测空气质量。远大的净化系统可以100%地清洁室内空气，张跃很自豪地给来访人员展示室内极低的颗粒物数据。他的办公室内有一个很大的低位安装净化机，还安装了中央空气净化系统——很可能是因为他接连地抽剑牌香烟的缘故。

面向西方的雕塑

史蒂夫-乔布斯的传记仍在中国有售，在公交站点的广告牌处也有宣传。但是中国的经理人们极少学习西方的经商哲学。日本经理人很崇敬品质大师W. Edwars Deming和管理专家Peter Drucker的理念，然而中国经理人之间并没有太多广泛关注的人物。

张跃研究过西方文化中的伟大作家和知识分子。他在远大城树立了43座雕像来纪念他最喜欢的偶像们：孔子、亚里士多德、柏拉图、毕达哥拉斯与亚伯拉罕-林肯站在一起；温斯顿-丘吉尔与罗伯斯庇尔雕像被安放在远大城内像凡尔赛宫的经济管理学院附近；还有达芬奇、詹姆斯-瓦特及怀特兄弟等发明家，中国诗人李白、巴扎克及莎士比亚等。此外还有拿破仑、邓小平、小阿尔福莱德 P 斯隆、杰克·韦尔奇、弗雷德里克·温斯洛·泰罗。“斯隆、泰罗、杰克-韦尔奇强调了管理效率，我认为这些欧美管理专家对人类的生产力做出了很大贡献。这也是我为什么把他们的形象也做成雕塑的原因。”张跃说。

张跃希望在他之后的纪念物都具有另一种完全不同的结构。那些巨大的天空城市是否可以真正建起来？他们能不能抵御9度地震？“我猜很有可能”，德克萨斯大学可持续设计教授Steven Moore如是说，“但是我们忽略了这样一场社会讨论，即人们到底想要怎样生活，以及实现这种生活需要什么技术。能够建立2公里高的大楼，并不意味着我们应该要建。”

张跃坚信他的大楼是地球土地紧缺、人口过多、污染及交通拥堵问题的解决方案：“很多人会犹豫着说，你打破了传统，但是会要承担多大风险，付出多少代价？不需要！我想要做的是：大胆地打破传统，无需承担任何风险和代价！远大所做的每一件事情都在打破传统，我的建筑将会像山一样坚固！”

很久很久以前，帝王们建起了几乎不可能实现的万里长城，可能这片土地上有另外一位中国领头人在筹划更加卓越的不朽作品也不足为奇——不过方向从向外改成了向上而已。如果张跃的天空城市能够成功矗立，世界上将会再创造一个CEO的传奇——他的雄心不是要将世界阻挡在外面，而且从内部自我救赎。

Reuters Magazine: The Made-in-China CEO

Thu Jun 28, 2012 6:39am IST
(This piece originally appeared in Reuters Magazine)

By Terril Yue Jones

REUTERS - Zhang Yue fondly caresses the blueprints as he slowly flips through them, occasionally pausing to stare at a drawing as he explains his new project.

The plan seems impossibly ambitious: Build a 220-story building, the tallest in the world, in just four months by using the rapid-construction techniques his company has developed.

Zhang, a slight but wiry and intense man of 52, says "Sky City" - as he has dubbed it - can fix many of the world's pollution, congestion, transportation and even disease problems by completely purifying the tower's air. The 838-meter-tall building (10 meters taller than the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, currently the world's tallest) will hold schools, a hospital, 17 helipads and some 30,000 people. It will, indeed, be a city in the sky.

His dreams don't stop there.

Pinned up on his office wall are plans for a project even more audacious - an almost preposterously massive building two kilometers high. When asked to estimate the odds of this 636-floor giganto-scraper ever being built, Zhang responds without hesitation, "One hundred percent! Some say that it's sensationalism to construct such a tall building. That's not so. Land shortages are already a grave problem. There's also the very serious transportation issue. We must bring cities together and stretch for the sky in order to save cities and save the Earth. We must eliminate most traffic, traffic that has no value! And we must reduce our dependency on roads and transportation."

Tenaciously pursuing a lofty vision is a hallmark of Zhang's success at Broad Group, but also that of many entrepreneurial Chinese chief executives in these days of heady growth in the world's second-largest economy.

The recipe for success for all these CEOs includes: 1) the vision and guts to seize upon a bold, even outlandish idea; 2) a relentless drive to build a company; and 3) an outsized ego to drive the process and overwhelm the skeptics.

Chinese founder-CEOs such as Zong Qinghou of drinks-maker Wahaha (until last year China's richest citizen), automaker Geely CEO Li Shufu, and Huawei chief Ren Zhengfei all have compelling, almost mythic personae that color most facets of their companies.

"In these entrepreneurial firms, the products and services are the passions of the founder," says Chris Marquis, a professor of organizational behavior at Harvard Business School who studies Chinese business executives. "They were employee No. 1, and now have hundreds of millions or billions of dollars in sales, and thousands of employees. These CEOs have been there every step of the way, and their vision has been what's driven the company."

These entrepreneurs are all known for thinking big ... and then bigger. Zhang Yue's Very Big Idea is to save the world by conserving energy, reducing congestion and pollution, and making homes and offices much more healthful places by purifying stale air he says is responsible for 68 percent of human illnesses.

"Each era had an issue of its time; each era had a mission of its time," Zhang says in an interview in his headquarters on the outskirts of Changsha, the capital of south China's Hunan province. "Our era's problem is not productivity and it's not wealth. It's not even politics or democracy. In society today - including China and all the countries of the world - we're facing the increasingly grave problem of environmental pollution."

Zhang, who ranks No. 186 on the Hurun Report of wealthiest Chinese, built his estimated $1.19 billion fortune on industrial cooling systems and air conditioners. He started his company on the back of some patents for non-electrical air conditioning, and later expanded into industrial strength chillers and air purification systems that have been installed in Madrid's airport, a U.S. military base, and throughout Europe and the Americas.

The devastating 2008 earthquake in Sichuan province that left more than 87,000 people killed or missing was a turning point for him. Horrified at the widespread collapse of buildings, including many shoddily built elementary schools, he set out to design safer, environmentally sounder buildings. He realized that by prefabricating building-floor slabs with pipes and wires built in, ready to be connected once modules are in place, buildings could go up much faster, and with only 1 percent of materials discarded as waste.

Last December, Broad Sustainable Building, his construction unit, erected a 30-story hotel in Hunan province in just 15 days. (A time-lapse video of the build has notched almost 5 million views online.)

Zhang next plans a 50-story building, and perhaps a couple more with 30 floors, while he drums up funding for Sky City 220. He's also hoping to set up franchises so such buildings can go up anywhere; he has seven in China so far, and is aiming for 150 around the world.

CHINA'S OLD-SCHOOL CEOs

Broadly speaking, there are two types of chief executive in China. The traditional one is the bureaucrat head of one of the traditional state-owned enterprises (SOEs) - mammoth, lethargic behemoths, often monopolistic, including the telecom operators, banks, insurance companies, oil and steel producers. Their leaders are generally intelligent and capable managers, but most are Communist Party stalwarts who have served quietly in local and central government agencies or ministries.

They are generally not looking to shake things up. They don't have any game-changing ideas, prefer not to rock the boat, and would find the appellation "disruptive" - one embraced by so many Western CEOs - to be anathema.

"This kind of career path tends to be more system-oriented, in pursuit of steady growth for the organizations," says Katherine Xin, a professor of the China Europe International Business School in Shanghai. "They are more attuned to government policies, to the political, geopolitical environment. These CEOs tend to be promoted through a well-established ladder of career path, step by step."

China Construction Bank, the world's second-largest lender by market capitalization, illustrates the SOE model well. Recent Chief Executive Guo Shuqing had stints as vice governor of Guizhou province and as China's foreign currency regulator, and was appointed last year to become head of China's stock market regulator. His favorite saying is, "Listen to both extremes and take the middle course," reflecting his desire to please as many people - and irk as few - as possible.

THE NO-SCHOOL CEOs

A new breed of Chinese CEO has sprung up in the wake of China's economic reforms since the 1990s. Entrepreneurial CEOs in China share few personality traits or management techniques with those SOE (state-owned-enterprise) CEOs. They are keen to innovate and seize opportunity, are eager to leave a legacy, and are legendary for their tenacity.

Wahaha's Zong leapt at an opportunity to develop a market presence in the beverage business. Establishing a distribution channel deep into China's countryside to supply remote towns with Wahaha products was one of his biggest accomplishments. He is also renowned for his persistence, and his willingness to delegate to his talented staff.

Many of these entrepreneurial Chinese CEOs were hardscrabble businessmen who started making and/or selling products on a small scale - furniture, real estate, auto parts - and added bits and pieces along the way. That's how Du Kerong, head of Tianjin-based Xinmao Group, built his closely held conglomerate. He started with a construction materials company that evolved into a real estate firm and eventually into the Xinmao Group, which today employs more than 30,000 and has more than 100 subsidiaries in real estate, construction, hotels, fiberoptics, software and other high-tech fields.

The charismatic but fiercely private Du sprang to prominence in late 2010 when he made a billion-euro offer for a Dutch cable manufacturer, muscling in on an all-European deal that had already been agreed upon. His bid failed, but it exemplified the style of this new strain of Chinese CEO - brash and flush with cash and ambition, but inexperienced outside of China.

"They are very sensitive to their environments, very alert to new opportunities and extremely flexible to pursue these new opportunities," says Xin. "And one of the most important characteristics is that they are very pragmatic: 'Whatever works.'"

STEVE JOBS IN A SMART CAR

In his work and in his personal life, Zhang Yue seems to have a desire to comprehend everything. Back when he was an art student, he wanted to understand Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. An instructor told him that to do so, he would have to paint it himself. So he did.

长沙郡

He is a hands-on manager.

"Zhang Yue is really passionate about the research and design of the products, and creating objects," says Harvard's Marquis. "It's about the ability to create these different products that have driven him . . . That's what he saw as his big role - interacting with designers."

Marquis knows that makes Zhang sound like the late Steve Jobs, and he thinks it's a fair comparison. Zhang preaches an altruistic, almost ascetic life, and he is a sage and paternal figure to his workers, offering free dorm rooms and cafeteria food for all. Employees wear white shirts and dark pants, and everyone's nametag bears a motivational slogan, such as "Innovate Life Now." Zhang's ID card says, "Wanshen Ziwo" ("Perfect Oneself ").

The honor code rules at Zhang's corporate campus - Broad Town, where some 1,000 of his 4,000 employees work. The supermarket register is unmanned; people swipe payment cards. Dorm-room doors are always unlocked. All employees are expected to abide by guidelines laid out by Zhang in a booklet called "Life Attitude of an Earth Citizen." Tenets in the book include, "Whenever possible, travel by bicycle or public bus," and "Unless absolutely necessary, do not fly."

Broad employees are urged to use energy-efficient lightbulbs, buy more local and less packaged and frozen food, and "Most importantly, only have one child. This will allow our population to return to a level that the earth can bear."

Zhang leads by example. He and his wife have one son, who graduated last year from Carnegie-Mellon University in Pi ttsburgh, Pe nnsylvania. Zhang lives on campus and drives a tiny Smart car - gas-guzzlers are scorned at Broad Group.

"We have to transform!" he explains. "If China continues down this path, by 2030 it will look just like the U.S. Practically everyone will have a car, and China's farmland will all be parking lots and highways."

Asked what appeals to him about Western business management techniques, Zhang scoffs. "I'm not going to talk management," he says. "Listen to me: Everyone must learn integrity, to be an honest person. If people are honest, you don't need to manage them. Where people are the most dishonest is concerning the environment. It's the over-consumption problem."

That explains his war on waste.

"Life Attitude of an Earth Citizen" includes exhortations not to buy disposable products or books or newspapers that will be quickly discarded. Wasting food is a cardinal sin. One employee ruefully recalls being fined 200 yuan for not finishing his dinner - his picture was also posted in the cafeteria, and he was banned from eating there for two days.

Employees say all these rules have made them more conscious of conserving soap, recycling plastics and shying away from taxis.

"We need to adopt rules, but it's good for me, like to save hot water, save energy, be honest," says Charles Qiang, 26, who has been working at Brand for three years. "I could learn how to be a man, and how to be a gentleman."

Office lights are turned off during lunchtime, so any employees who stay at their desks must work by natural light. Those desks, as well as the office shelves, are made of wood recycled from the boxes in which Broad Sustainable Building receives copper tubing from Japan. Zhang's office is dim, with remote-controlled curtains that block heat-creating sunlight and the lights off. He frequently checks an air-purity monitor built into a cellphone his company developed. Broad's systems purify 100 percent of a building's air, and Zhang proudly shows visitors that the particulate matter is extremely low there. He has a large floor-model purifier in his office in addition to the central air purification - perhaps because he chain-smokes Kent cigarettes.

STATUES FACING WEST

The recent Steve Jobs biography is still displayed in bookstores in China and touted on the occasional bus stop ad, but Chinese executives rarely look to the West for business philosophy. Japanese executives revere the teachings of quality master W. Edwards Deming and management guru Peter Drucker, but there are no such widely admired figures among Chinese executives.

Zhang, however, has studied the great writers and intellectuals of Western culture, and in Broad Town, he has erected 43 statues honoring some of his favorites. Confucius, Aristotle, Socrates, Plato and Pythagoras stand with Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill and Robespierre near Broad's Versailles Palace-like Economic Management Institute. Also on pedestals are inventors da Vinci, James Watt and the Wright brothers. There is the Chinese poet Li Bai, as well as Balzac and Shakespeare. Napoleon and Deng Xiaoping stand vigil nearby, as do Alfred P. Sloan, Jack Welch and inventor-consultant Frederick Winslow Taylor.

"Sloan, and Taylor, and Jack Welch were good; they emphasized management efficiency," Zhang says. "I think these American and European management experts made contributions to man's productivity. That's why I included them."

Zhang hopes the monuments that live on after him will be structures of a different kind. Can those monster sky cities really be built? Could they withstand a 9.0 earthquake?

"My guess is that it probably is possible," says Steven Moore, professor of sustainable design at the University of Texas. "But what's missing from this conversation is a civil-society conversation about how it is that we really want to live, and what will it take technologically to do that. Just because we can build two kilometers up doesn't mean we should."

Zhang insists that his towering towers are the solution to Earth's converging crises of land, overpopulation, pollution and transportation.

"Many people will hesitate, and say, 'You broke free from convention, but you're taking on how much risk and at what cost?'" he says. "No! That's precisely what I want to do: Break with convention - outrageously, without cost, without risk. Everything Broad does is breaking with convention. My buildings will be extremely stable, as solid as a mountain."

Perhaps it is not surprising that in this land where emperors long ago did the seemingly impossible by building the Great Wall over thousands of miles of rolling mountain ranges that another Chinese leader plans even more extraordinary monuments in another direction - up, instead of out.

If Zhang Yue's Sky Cities are erected, they will be the towering legacy of a CEO whose ambition was not to keep the world out, but rather to save it from itself.

China To House The World’s Tallest Tower – 2 Km High | 636 Floors
Niranjana Sridharudu Jul 15th, 2012 0 Comment
The construction of 1km high tower, the Kingdom Tower, is underway. It was announced that it will surpass the Burj Khalifa (828m high) to become the world’s tallest tower. The construction of the tower began early this year. And in June this year, Kingdom Holding Company (KHC) Chairman Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, announced that the tower would be finished my mid-2017. But looks like even it is going to have the title of the “world’s tallest tower” for a short period. China’s Broad Sustainable Building, a construction firm, has revealed its plans of constructing a 2km high tower.

Immediately after the designs and plans of the kilometre long Kingdom Tower were released the researchers decided to find upto which height the buildings can be constructed without much problem. Dr. Sang Dae Kim, chairman of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat announced that a 2km high tower could soon be a reality and it is actually possible. But any height beyond that would require a lot of extra effort.

Zhang Yue , CEO, Broad Sustainable Building on an interview to “The Made-in-China CEO” magazine said that the firm is planning to construct a two-kilometre high tower which will have 636 floors. Dismissing the idea that they want to construct tall buildings for the sensationalism, he said that such tall structures are very essential to meet the land shortages problem. He said, “Some say that it’s sensationalism to construct such a tall building. That’s not so. Land shortages are already a grave problem. There’s also the very serious transportation issue. We must bring cities together and stretch for the sky in order to save cities and save the Earth.”

The firm is already known for some fast track constructions in China. The construction of a 16-storey building, ‘The New Ark Hotel’, in just six days made the firm first come under the limelight. Then they came up with the construction of 30-storey hotel in Hunan province and this was finished in just 15 days.

They also plan to construct an 838-meter high tower, titled “Sky City 220”, in four months time from the time of ground breaking. It will be 10 taller than Burj Khalifa, which is currently the world’s tallest tower. This sky city tower will have schools, hospital, 17 helipads and will be capable of housing 30,000 people.

Though the 2km high tower will have some disadvantages, like wastage of floor area by the elevators, it still has to be researched. The conditions of the wind and the temperatures must be analysed. The location of the tower and the timeline of the project are yet to be revealed.
