City of Silk, Kuwait
Located in Subbiya on the northernmost tip of Kuwait Bay close to the Iraq border, the metropolis will be the largest single real estate development in the Middle East and is due to be completed by 2023.
The project's budget has also changed, swelling from the original estimate of $86bn earlier this year to a hefty $132bn now, fuelled by Kuwait's continuing oil wealth.
"It's going to be 1001 metres because of the book 1001 Arabian Nights, so the architecture links in with the folk literature of the civilisation. In the book there are 234 stories so the tower will have 234 storeys,"

I happen to see a program (I think it was 20/20) in which they showed the inhuman squalid living and working conditions of workers, the deaths, the injuries and the petty pittance they were paid - during the wonderful construction of the Burj.
