Why Indian buildings are not tall?


Why Indian buildings are not tall? One is infrastructure. With such a large population, India experiences frequent power outages – especially during the hotter months when demand for electricity is high, and many of its cities often grapple with access to clean water. Now, the availability of power and water are important for skyscrapers.


How tall can humans build?

Based on some quick math, if a building is only 15 percent as heavy as a solid object, it could be 6.6667 times taller and weigh the same as that solid object. A building could, hypothetically, climb to nearly 59,000 meters without outweighing Mount Everest or crushing the very earth below.
