A proposed pyramid city for the Dubai desert will stand about 4000 feet in height, dwarfing the Burj Dubai – the tallest tower in the world – by hundreds of metres.
The solar-powered pyramid project – dubbed Ziggurat after the ancient Mayan pyramids – was announced this week by Timelinks, an eco-design firm that plans to unveil the engineering wonder at Cityscape Dubai later this year.
If completed, it’s expected to be the largest man-made residential structure on the planet, with its foundation covering more than two square kilometres.
“The pyramid will be more than a kilometre tall and will house one million people inside,” “It will be completely self-sustainable.”
