Q. Which country has banned construction of skyscrapers that are taller than 500 meters?
Answer:
China
Notes: China has banned construction of skyscrapers that are taller than 500 meters, following the rising concerns about public safety in the country.
These new mandates come after the near 300-metre-high Shenzhen Electronics Group Plaza, one of China's tallest skyscrapers, was evacuated recently after it began to shake. All local authorities are directed to strictly limit construction of towers taller than 250 metres, citing quality concerns and public safety hazards.
