Why Tall?
Green, Safety and Humanity

CTBUH (Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat)
The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, based at the Illinois Institute of Technology in
Chicago, is an international not-for-profit organization supported by architecture, engineering,
planning, development and construction professionals, designed to facilitate exchanges among
those involved in all aspects of the planning, design, construction and operation of tall buildings.
Founded in 1969, the Council’s mission is to disseminate multi-disciplinary information on tall
buildings and sustainable urban environments, to maximize the international interaction of
professionals involved in creating the built environment, and to make the latest knowledge
available to professionals in a useful form.
• The CTBUH disseminates its findings, and facilitates business exchange,
through: the publication of books, monographs, proceedings and reports;
• The organization of world congresses, international, regional and specialty
conferences and workshops;
• The maintaining of an extensive website and tall building databases of built,
under construction and proposed buildings;
• The distribution of a monthly international tall building e-newsletter; the
maintaining of an international resource center;
• The bestowing of annual awards for design and construction excellence and
individual lifetime achievement;
• The management of special task forces / working groups; the hosting of
technical forums;
• The publication of the CTBUH Journal, a professional journal containing
refereed papers written by researchers, scholars and practicing professionals.
The Council actively undertakes research into relevant fields in conjunction with its members and
industrial partners, and has in place an international ‘Country Leader’ network, with CTBUH
representatives promoting the mission of the Council across the globe.
The Council is the arbiter of the criteria upon which tall building height is measured, and thus the
title of ‘The World’s Tallest Building’ determined. CTBUH is the world’s leading body
dedicated to the field of tall buildings and urban habitat and the recognized international
source for information in these fields.

CTBUH (Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat)
There has been a continuous expansion in the tall building market as tall buildings allow efficient
use of land and serve as landmarks. Against this backdrop, officials in the tall building
construction market are focusing their attention on Korea. This is because 10 buildings
between 500 meters and 1 kilometer in height will likely be built in Seoul, Incheon, and
Busan by 2015. These tall buildings will be developed into a symbolic model of finance, culture,
and business of the respective local government. Korea's tall building construction market is
forecast to witness fiercer competition every year.
Korean construction companies are steadily improving their construction technologies for tall
buildings. This is proven by the tall buildings that were built by Korean construction companies in
the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Tall buildings constructed by Korean construction
companies include the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, Petronas Tower, and Taipei
101. Korean construction companies have recently been working on the construction of business
centers and high-class apartment buildings in Southeast Asia, Australia, and Russia. The
number of tall buildings constructed by Korean construction companies is expected to continually
rise.
However, it is true that Korean companies' construction technologies for tall buildings are
not as advanced as those of overseas companies. Their technologies are limited to the
field of construction. They remain dependent on technologies from the US, the UK, Japan,
and other countries in the field of key design techniques. What is encouraging is the
implementation of a large research project, "Tall, Multi-functional Building Project", sponsored by
the Korean Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs. This project is expected to perform a
pivotal role in expediting the localization of construction technologies for tall buildings. The
project was launched in 2009 and will be carried out for 5 years and 6 months. It will cover key
technologies of tall building construction including engineering technologies, high performance
materials, cutting-edge construction technologies, and intelligent green and disaster prevention
technologies. In the near future, Korea will witness the construction of tall buildings based
on domestic technologies alone.

CTBUH 2011 World Conference, Seoul Korea
The Conference aims to shed new light on the meaning and value of tall buildings in the modern
society from the perspectives of green, safety, and humanity. It was the development of modern
civilization that gave birth to high-rise buildings. However, tall buildings have come to not only
represent the very civilizations and cities that created them, but also evolve into becoming the
universal standard of urban dwelling of today. Tall buildings are no longer just mere
representations of modern cities; they are an integral part of our everyday life. They had
expanded their role from providing space for commercial purposes to also include satisfying
residential needs, and they are fast becoming an important feat of human engineering of meeting
the growing demands for urban dwelling and reshaping the landscape of modern cities. It is time
that we look back the history of tall buildings and join forces together to pave the way for coming
generations to sustain their development with tall buildings. This year's conference in Seoul is
aiming to find those answers for the generations to follow us.
For more than 100 years, mankind has been erecting tall buildings as symbols of modern cities
and to serve as a universal form of urban dwelling. Now is the time to redefine the meaning and
value of tall buildings in our modern society by highlighting the green, safety, and humanity
aspects of tall buildings intended to better-serve mankind.
Only a decade has passed since we welcomed the 21st Century, but mankind has already seen
more than its fair share of political, economical, and social confrontations and clashes.
Accordingly, the world of technology and construction of tall buildings is going to face greater
problems and challenges. High-rises must contribute to the protection of endangered
environment, and pursuing advancement of technology is the only way to silence the safety
concerns that have plagued the industry from its inception. Most of all, tall buildings should seek
to reinvent itself into becoming a 'vertical city' where the communication between the
environment and people is brought together. Who will build such buildings? When can we see
them? How can we make it happen? And what should be done? Be a part of the CTBUH Seoul
2011 Conference where you will find the questions and answers.
