Jeddah Tower Finally Restarts Construction!

More than five years after the Jeddah Tower was suddenly put to a complete stop, its construction finally resumes. But why now? What has changed? And why is neighboring Dubai already planning to build an even taller structure?

Will the Jeddah Tower be completed this time?🤔

[@cokedrunk69]

if they can surpass political issues

[@JustYoAverageGuy769]

most likely no

[@user-dx7gm7no3l]

I don't think so but after 2035 sure

[@michaelc2656]

Don't care. Not like I am going to vist there anytime soon, if ever. Great video! Love the channel.

[@Kwint.]

i hope so!!

[@stephenwodz7593]

I worked in Jeddah for 10 months. It's going to take more than a 1 km tall tower to make it a pleasant city in which to live.

[@tealsquare]

What are the biggest drawbacks?

[@Volkbrecht]

@@tealsquare It's an ugly pile of buildings, with a climate that makes being outside rather unpleasant for about half of the year. Having fun there means going to some inside place to spend money. Ah, and it's pretty much impossible to move around without a car (or taxis). Not only because of the weather or lack of public transportation. There are simply no boardwalks, and where there are, they often end randomly at some point. The upsides: Saudis are by and large friendly people, and if you have money, you can get pretty much anything you want. Apart from booze, although that's not really a big deal after a few weeks of being there.

[@xgamez5698]

@@Volkbrecht Wow, thanks a lot dude! That's the truth behind this lavish cities. The pictures look amazing, but they are always taken from above and from certain places. 😎👍

[@salmanadnan]

Jeddah tower surpassing burj khalifa’s height is unreal

[@mtmadigan82]

Your right it is unreal. This thing will never be finished.

[@nathanhart19191]

Funnily enough it is, last week it just received the go ahead to go even taller since the foundation could have a building 1.4km high.

[@forrest3384]

11:05. That tall concept design is taller than Mt Everest. If Japan ever starts construction on that, I would be amazed.

[@magicmulder]

Except it would make no sense at all, be impossible to (re)finance etc. You can build a bunch of hypermodern super-cities for that money.

[@ivanjefferson6344]

What was it called?

[@forrest3384]

Got a point, also we currently don't even have the tech to build something like that. We would probably also have to use drones to help with the construction, because the high elevation.

[@empereurdugrandaveyron6477]

Would be clearly stupid from the Japanese to start this program 30 years after the original plan (so when economical and demographic situation was way better)

[@user-lz5dz1qx2q]

Jeddah is the closest city to Mecca. While it is not allowed to build an airport in Mecca there is one in Jeddah, Jeddah is also in the Red Sea cost. Every year, Jeddah receives millions of pilgrimages who want to go to mecca . Jeddah will play an important role in the Saudi arabia plan for targeting 30 million pilgrimages annually

J'imagine que si il l'augmente , une grande partie du sommet sera du vide. La hauteur de Vanité

[@davidpage3893]

To engineer the entire structure to resist swaying and other movements at this height will take hundreds, maybe thousands of hours of computer simulations, and mind boggling mathematical calculations to get this right…also to account for earthquakes in this region.

[@Y-xg5gl]

props the editor for this great video

As an American I find it very cool they are building these. I love mega projects like this just as bragging rights. We dont do it because it makes sense or it's needed we do it because we can. That mentality has pushed humanity in so many ways. It's when humanity gets complacent thats when stupidity happens. Id much rather see a nation trying to build bigger then fighting against each other.

I always become quite irritated when I hear people complain that California high-speed rail could eventually reach the price tag of 200 billion dollars when the US wasted over 4 trillion dollars in regime change and warfare in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, as well as attempted regime change in Syria, with nothing to show for it other than suffering, misery and death.

[@John...44...]

As an englishman, I agree with you're comment

[@QuantumAscension1]

I mean, if you like symbolic achievements that are used to distract from all the human-rights abuses and "jihadist" funding, I guess that can be your thing. But putting that aside, most of humanity's awesome achievements (i.e. Great Wall of China, the Coliseum, Panama Canal, NASA's Apollo program, etc., etc.) were created to solve a problem, regardless of its practical application to said problem or whether it even succeeded. So tell me, what problem does the Jeddah Tower solve?

[@Isaac-cl8io]

Another reason why we don’t is kinda like out of respect cause we don’t wanna build taller than the wtc1 in nyc. Thats why nobody I nyc builds taller than it.

[@redman2751]

@@Isaac-cl8ioI’d rather see a taller building than war. For example back when Russia and the US were competing to get to the moon. Russia made it to space first and orbited the moon first and the us made it on the moon first. To me this is so much better for humanity as a whole. It’s a friendly competition thing and advances technology and public spending. I’d also love to see a government so broke from building massive buildings and advances in technology to make it to space that they can’t spend anymore on war and expansionism. I know, bring it back to reality. Just saying that’s what I’d prefer. I think most people on the planet are sick and tired of governments waging war with people that the public has no problem with.

I think it is important to factor in the sustainability of projects such as this one. Just because it's a race to build the biggest structure doesn't mean we should be harming our planet in the process.
