Vertical City带领观众们走进世界上最有标志性的摩天大楼，从一个全新的角度看看这些野心与财富的标志。建筑专家查理勒克斯顿、凯斯凯维尼、马特伯曼将观众参观纽约、芝加哥、墨尔本以及瑞典等地的高楼，并探索这些高楼背后的权利、政治和设计故事。

Still the tallest tower in the US – as well as the tallest in the world for 25 years – the $175million Sears Tower broke boundaries in not only height but design and construction. But building the tallest building in the world brings its own logistical headaches – and the crippling cost of funding an iconic tower can take its toll…

Every major city has a symbolic piece of architecture that projects its image to the world. But what happens when a city loses not only its trademark industry but its trademark icon? This is exactly the problem that faced the city of Malmo in Sweden – but it came up with the perfect way to reinvent itself. But daring design always courts controversy – and the whole project nearly ended in disaster…

On 11 September 2001, this historic cityscape of Manhattan became forever linked with one event that forced architects to rethink. 7 World Trade Center, the first building to be constructed on Ground Zero, has taken skyscraper safety to new levels – but overlooking a plot of land that symbolises the risk of building tall, do those who work in it really feel safe?

The skyscraper is a symbol of aspiration and power – and an environmentally unsound energy guzzling monster. But in 1997 British superarchitect Norman Foster created a contradiction in terms – the world’s first ecological tower and in doing so, The Commerzbank has changed the construction of office buildings forever. But was going green the result of the corporate world being responsible – or just a big fat PR exercise?

We go up top Down Under to the tallest residential building in the world – the 300m Eureka Tower, the most exclusive address in the Southern Hemisphere. But is living the high life destroying our traditional city communities? Are these Vertical Villages changing the way we live forever?

The strongest building on Earth, Torre Mayor is constructed to withstand earthquakes that would obliterate the average skyscraper. Built in the wake of Mexico City’s most devastating earthquake in 1985, this monument to engineering has become a haven of safety in one of the world’s most active seismic zones. But can the ever growing height of skyscrapers compete with typhoons and earthquakes? Can man really conquer nature?

The ‘Miami of the Southern Hemisphere’, Surfer’s Paradise, has a growing reputation as the resort of choice for the rich and famous, and the skyline is growing too with the massive Q1 Tower dominating the landscape. But how has this uber-skyscraper affected the paradise? Is it the jewel in the crown of one of the world’s most exclusive resorts - or the nail in the coffin of the chilled vibe and community spirit that makes the Gold Coast unique?

You’re a new developer, you want to build a tower in a bleak part of town and you’ve got to fill half the building before you get planning permission. What do you do? Get in a Superstar Architect to ensure your skyscraper gets noticed and gets headlines. Cesar Pelli waved his magic design wand over the Cira Center and made it stand apart from the crowd. But are celebrity architects over paid and over hyped? And does their huge pay cheque pay back?

Even before the modern skyscraper, the super tall building has been a source of innovation and fierce competition – and no time was the fight for height fiercer than in the late 18th century when cathedrals across Europe competed to make their spires the tallest. Cologne was the tallest building in the world for 4 years – but where did the money for these religious super spires come from? And just how fierce – and dirty - did the fight become?

In 1991 One Canada Square, the UK’s tallest skyscraper, changed the London skyline. But the Cesar Pelli designed icon wasn’t in the heart of the capital. Instead the developers had taken a billion-dollar gamble on creating an international financial centre in the desolate docklands of the City’s East End. But when the world property market collapsed just after completion, the developers went bankrupt and a large part of the tower lay in darkness…

What is striking about the luxury residential block of Moscow’s Triumph Palace is not so much it’s height but the fact that it resurrects the city’s turbulent political past. In the 1940s Josef Stalin commissioned seven tall towers to compete with the New York skyscrapers. The ‘Seven Sisters’ were created to inspire Russian citizens to celebrate the strength and glory of the communist state. We investigate the design and political genesis of these towers and examines why an eighth sister has been added in 21st century capitalist Moscow.

Moscow has become Europe’s skyscraper capital, with the Naberezhnaya Tower holding the title of the continent’s tallest building and more in the pipeline that are pushing the parameters of height and design. They represent a new era for the city, one in which Moscow can finally compete with the other major financial centres of the world - a modern high rise Moscow that was once dreamt of decades ago by the city’s early undiscovered skyscraper visionary.

The John Hancock Center in Chicago is one of the most influential skyscrapers of the twentieth century. When completed in 1969 this was the tallest tower in the world outside New York City and is still the most famous structural expressionist style building in high rise architecture. By using new technologies like the computer and developments in steel, the tower’s designers revolutionised the way skyscrapers were built and created a true masterpiece of engineering. But cutting edge construction always courts controversy – and despite being the birthplace of skyscrapers, Chicago wasn’t convinced it wanted this enormous dark hulk on its skyline.

1180Peachtree is a striking icon on the Atlanta skyline, its huge fins making it distinct from other skyscrapers in the city. But it’s not all about good looks - 1180 is creating a new era for the city’s towers. Back in the 1980s, when crime and racial tension were rife in the city, architects designed skyscrapers that existed independently of street life, connecting to parking and shopping malls with skybridges that made sidewalks completely redundant. 1180 is opening its doors to the streets and the public, helping to breathe life back into the street culture of this once lifeless city.

Created in 1990 by world renowned architect IM Pei, the Bank of China in Hong Kong put Asia on the skyscraper map and stands like a diamond amongst the island’s forest of towers. But behind the architecture lies a tall political tale – one of a global superpower marking its territory. China wanted the world to know that Hong Kong would soon be under its rule – and used this skyscraper to prove it. But with only a small budget to make a big statement, building this tower wasn’t easy –especially when its fiercest rival had built the most expensive tower in the world literally next door.
