Burj Khalifa

The Burj Khalifa means "Khalifa tower" in Arabic. It is named for Sheikh Khalifa (Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan), the emir of Abu Dhabi and president of the United Arab Emirates.

The Burj Khalifa is a skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and is the world's tallest building since 2010. Originally it was called the Burj Dubai, but problems with the financing and marketing of the huge structure led to seeking outside capital, which was provided by the ruler of the neighboring emirate of Abu Dhabi.

Notable examples include the Eiffel Tower in Paris (1887-1889), the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City (opened in 1880), and the Flatiron Building in New York (completed in 1902). This period also saw the rise of skyscrapers, with the Home Insurance Building in Chicago, completed in 1885, often considered the first modern skyscraper. Additionally, many public libraries, museums, and universities were established during this time, showcasing the era's commitment to culture and education.

This number can vary due to seasonal fluctuations and events held at the tower. The workforce includes management, security, hospitality, and service personnel to support its numerous functions and attractions.

To surpass the heights of the Burj Khalifa, advancements in materials such as ultra-high-performance concrete and innovative steel alloys are crucial, offering greater strength and lighter weight. Additionally, the use of cutting-edge construction technologies, like advanced modular building techniques and improved crane systems, allows for safer and more efficient assembly at extreme heights. Furthermore, incorporating smart building technologies enhances structural integrity and energy efficiency, supporting the challenges of taller structures.
