July 24 (Bloomberg) -- As recently as July 1, cattleapparently grazed in the fields intended for the world’s tallestskyscraper in the rural outskirts of Changsha, in China’s Hunanprovince. That wasn’t the original plan: Sky City, as theconcept is known, was scheduled for completion earlier this yearafter a mere 90 days of construction.
Understandably, few people inside or outside China believedsuch a deadline was possible. It wasn’t. Work never even startedon the project, which was delayed in part by the government-approval process.
