In this edition of Smart Talk, Edward Dodson discusses with Dr. Jason Barr, Professor of Economics at Rutgers University, the findings of his new book, Cities in the Sky – The Quest to Build the World’s Tallest Skyscrapers. Dr. Barr details the key factors behind the global building spree. He explains why these big buildings appeal to cities and nations, how they get financed, why they succeed or fail, and how they change a city’s skyline and enable the world’s greatest metropolises to thrive in the 21st century.
