Sky Mile Tower, Proposed skyscraper in Tokyo Bay, Japan.

Sky Mile Tower is a proposed building in Tokyo that would stand around 1700 meters tall with over 400 floors, housing tens of thousands of people. The hexagonal form extends across multiple levels and offers space for apartments, offices, and shared areas within a single structure.

The project was introduced as part of the Next Tokyo 2045 initiative, which explores urban responses to climate change and rising sea levels. The vision grew from research into long-term development of Tokyo Bay.

The tower takes its name from its planned height of roughly one mile and aims to shape the skyline with a hexagonal silhouette. Residents would live in vertical neighborhoods connected by shared floors with shops and meeting places.

The outer shell was designed to collect rainwater and store it at different heights to ease water supply. Visitor information is not currently available as the project remains in the planning stage.

Floating platforms around the tower are meant to break waves while providing space for urban agriculture. Algae grown on the facade could be used to produce clean fuel.

Ambitious architecture projects that will take shape by 2030

Everywhere, in deserts, along coasts, and in city centers, new building projects change how cities grow and work. Some build tall towers that change the view, others create whole neighborhoods from scratch. Each project shows different ways of thinking about design, technology, and how people live together. In Saudi Arabia, The Line offers a city without cars that runs through the desert, Trojena gives mountain skiing, and Sindalah builds a new island in the Red Sea. In Dubai, buildings like One Za’abeel, where two towers connect with a hanging bridge, or Dubai Creek Tower that switches the look along the water. In Paris, the Tour Triangle, a glass pyramid in the south, shows how the city considers height and space. These projects are of different sizes and purposes. There are large factories like Oxagon that work on the water, and places to live or work in Jeddah, Zhuhai, and elsewhere. Some are already being built, with the bases and structure going up, others are waiting for permission or funds. Each project aims to meet local needs, whether for more homes, attracting visitors, or trying new ways to build that care for the environment. Together, they show how architects and city planners think about the links between buildings, roads, and daily life around the world.
