The saga of the Changsha building continues

Seems the building permits have not been completed yet for the “sky City” according to the SCMP.
The building would be made of “prefab” steel modules built off site, would be able to accommodate 30,000 people with flats, a school, hotel, hospital and offices, as well as an 8,000 sqm garden. Broad Group said that 3,000 workers would do assembly work at the construction site for three months while 20,000 would finish manufacturing in four months in factories.
Super high-rise buildings usually take years to build using conventional techniques. The Burj Khalifa took 47 months to build.
If you watch the movie clip (see earlier post) showing how they build that other highrise then you understand how exciting and puzzling the whole story becomes. If it would go ahead, that would be a revolution in construction. Of course, all “if”.
