Burj Dubai is nearing completion and is the tallest skyscraper in the world. Can any one building really hold that title for long? The
Burj Mubarak al-Kabir is designed to top the Burj Dubai by 200 meters. It will be the center tower of a massively planned City of Silk in Subiya, Kuwait. Part of the plan for the City of Silk construction will be to provide a rail line that will link major cities in the Middle East and China (link to Inhabitat's article).
Of course there's got to be a plan in reserve for an even bigger tower. If London's Megatower ever gets approved, it will be the next up to top the Burg Mubarak al-Kabir's record (previously on the Bean).
