摘要

The much anticipated grand opening of China's tallest tower, Canton Tower, was held on 29 September, ahead of the opening of the Asian Games in mid-November.rnArup provided total engineering services to realise this highly unusually structure. "To make the city realise this symbol of excellence has given the whole design team extreme pride," said LM Lui, Arup's East Asia Chairman, "The tower not only embodies the excitement of Guangzhou's urban development but also marks an engineering triumph, which firmly puts the city in the international map".
