Wow, why are people downplaying the fact that this is the tallest high rise in the world as of this week? I've seen much worse and irrelevant thread topics. Congratulations Dubai. Now if this doesn't deserve its own thread, lets get rid of the entire city discussions section. This is skyscraperpage.com after all.
And how could you judge bare unfinished concrete and call a building ugly before it is even half completed? How could you call an entire city ugly when it has one of the most diverse and modern skylines in the world? What is wrong with you people anyway? It really sounds like jealousy to me. No one goes in random sections of the forums and calls world cities "hideous." No one goes and calls Shanghai or San Paulo "overrated." I'm not from the Middle East or Muslim and I have no allegiance to that part of the world but I can plainly appreciate the construction of the largest building in the world in the fastest vertically growing city in the world without needing to worry about how Atlanta or Kingston, Jamiaca stacks up.

I think this tower is awesome, as well as the majority of the new towers and developments they are building. But....I still think the remainder of the city is unimpressive, and by all standards average.
