Shanghai Tower: the making of China’s tallest skyscraper Shanghai’s skyline has long stood as a symbol of the future. Just ask the many Hollywood directors who have used the city as a backdrop for tales of artificial intelligence, time travel and high-tech espionage. In Spike Jonze’s Her, Shanghai plays a futuristic Los Angeles, a backdrop for Joaquin Phoenix’s love affair with a computer operating system voiced by Scarlett Johansson. In Looper, time-travelling hitman Bruce Willis moves to Shanghai to live for 30 years until 2074, when his younger self will arrive to kill him. In Mission: Impossible III, the character Ethan Hunt (played by Tom Cruise) bungee jumps from the 53-storey Bank of China Tower after stealing a bioweapon. With the completion of work on the 127-storey Shanghai Tower at the end of 2015, the city gained a potent new futurist symbol. At 632m, it is the world’s second-tallest building, surpassed only by Dubai’s 828m-tall Burj Khalifa.
