40 Mega-tall CHALLENGES FOR VERTICAL TRANSPORTATION & MEGA-TALL BUILDINGS Our world is smaller than ever. Life is faster and more connected. We live in high-rise buildings that were once unimaginable, and rely on a complex network of transport to keep us moving. At the heart of this urban landscape are elevators. 11
