World's Tallest TV Tower Could Rise in Hanoi
Quote:
Rivalling Ho Chi Minh City's Vincom Landmark 81 and its supporting towers, South Korean developer Daewoo is planning a huge mixed-use destination for a currently vacant property in Hanoi's Tay Ho district. The centrepiece of the residential, office, hospitality, and shopping hub would be the tallest broadcast tower in the world, planned to overtake the 634-metre Tokyo Skytree by just two metres.
According to Zing, the tower's exorbitant $900 million (USD) cost is calling some — including Chairman of the Vietnam Construction Association Dr. Pham Ngoc Dang — to question its true purpose. The public broadcaster Vietnam Television, who proposed the massive tower, cites its economic potential to draw tourists as a key reason for the adventurous scheme.
