Did you know that since 2001, eighty four percent of the world's skyscrapers have been built?
Do you know why the Empire State Building was built with a mooring mast?
Why are skyscrapers getting taller and thinner?
Here to answer those questions and many more I'm joined by Jason Barr, a professor of economics at Rutgers University, who shares his expertise on the economics and evolution in the fascinating world of tall buildings. We discuss the history of skyscrapers, the driving forces behind their construction, and the future trends in the industry. Topics covered include the definition of skyscrapers, the challenges of building tall structures, the impact of technology on skyscraper construction, and the safety measures implemented in these buildings.
We also touch on the growth areas for tall buildings around the world, the importance of green spaces in urban development, and the future outlook for skyscrapers. This episode provides a unique and valuable insight into the world of skyscrapers and the factors shaping their development.
