The Saudi billionaire Alwaleed bin Talal announced this week that he wants to build a skyscraper a kilometre high. It would have a Four Seasons hotel and a 157th-floor terrace.

The projected “Kingdom Tower” in Jeddah would rise higher than Burj al-Khalifa, the 828-metre colossus that has been, since it opened in Dubai in January, the world’s tallest building.
