Shanghai's Tale Of Three Towers

In the early 1990s, planners in Shanghai envisioned a trio of mammoth skyscrapers that would symbolize the Chinese city’s rebirth. Nearly 20 years later, two of those towers are built. The third is 109 stories to go. 

It was 1993 when plans were unveiled to build three giant towers that would symbolize past, present and future. The first of the three behemoths was christened Jim Mao Tower, the second the Shanghai World Financial Center, and the third Shanghai Tower. All three were to be built on a piece of land that otherwise was home to run-down buildings and rice fields.

Shanghai Tower will eventually be a sight to behold. But right now it’s nothing more than an ugly concrete cube – 15 floors’ worth, surrounded by steel girders. Hundreds of workers mill about the construction site, which is tucked in amid freeways.
Two built till now doesn't seem promising and third one is still due. Hope to see the wonder.
