[Infographic] How Vietnam’s New Broadcast Tower Stacks Up Against The World’s Tallest

Vietnam Television Station (VTV), the State Capital and Investment Corporation and BRG Corporation have officially announced their cooperation on the construction of the world’s tallest broadcasting tower in Hanoi.

VTV’s director, Trần Bình Minh, told VN Express last Friday that the Prime Minister has confirmed that this broadcasting tower will surpass the current world record holder, Tokyo’s Sky Tree which stands at 634 meters.

The project will be constructed on a 14 hectare plot of land within the sprawling US$2.5 billion Starlake mega development on the city’s outskirts that will act as Hanoi’s new administrative center when it opens in 2019.
