REACH FOR THE SKY SUPPLY CHAIN INNOVATION IS DRIVING THE RACE TO BUILD THE TALLEST TOWERS

The world's top cities are instantly recognisable by their skylines - the finest examples of tall building architecture and engineering have helped create iconic metropolises for decades. And the innate human desire for exploration has enhanced the appetite across the globe for building ever taller. It is not endeavour that is spurring the need to reach for the sky. Increasing urban density is testing landspace and its ability to accommodate the influx of people who live and work in cities.
