Bu e-kitab haqqında
Skyscraper Rivalries explores the captivating race among cities to erect the world's tallest buildings, going beyond mere architectural feats to examine the underlying ambition, economic considerations, and civic pride. These towering structures symbolize a city's power and progress, influencing urban development by attracting investment, tourism, and generating jobs.
The book traces the history of tall buildings from the late 19th century to the present, highlighting how technological advancements, like the evolution of building materials, have enabled cities to reach unprecedented heights. The book analyzes architectural trends and how these reflect societal values and technological capabilities, using case studies that explore the competition between cities like New York and Chicago, as well as more recent rivalries in Asia and the Middle East.
Ultimately, the book argues that building record-breaking skyscrapers reflects complex geopolitical and economic rivalries between cities. It progresses from the early innovations and the rise of skyscraper construction in the United States to examining key case studies and drawing conclusions about the future of skyscraper construction, considering sustainability and global competition.
