TOKYO (AP) - Japanese planners this week revealed the design of a huge broadcast tower that is set to become the world's tallest structure upon completion in 2011, eclipsing even Canada's CN Tower.
The tower will stand 613.5 metres tall, according to Tobu Railway Co., which has provided land for the project. Once finished, it will claim the title from the CN Tower in Toronto, 553-metre-tall communications structure and outlook point which is currently the world's tallest freestanding structure.
Dubbed the "New Tokyo Tower," the building will replace a 332-metre tower built in 1958.
The new tower, designed by award-winning Japanese architect Tadao Ando and sculptor Kiichi Sumikawa, will stand on a triangular foundation. But its slender body will turn into a cylinder as it stretches upward, its bluish-silver colour blending into the sky.

Six Japanese broadcasting networks and Tobu Railway Co., the owner of the site, will work together to construct the television and radio transmitter tower for digital terrestrial broadcasting that will be the tallest tower in the world.

The Burj Dubai will be taller at 808 meters, and it will be residential and commercial not just a tower.

It would sound taller if they said it in feet.
Pardon me while I whip out my abacus. . . .
I wouldn't want to be in the top floor during an earthquake!
Size matters.
Yeah, that's if the Burj doesn't collapse first. I've heard a few stories about shoddy workmanship and pissed off workers.
