Anything Europe can do, the UAE can do better - or so wacky construction plans in the Middle East suggest.
The latest scheme generating plenty of buzz is Abu Dhabi's Capital Gate development, which will be four times as crooked as the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Developed by Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company in conjunction with RMJM, the tower leans westwards a mammoth 18 degrees - mammoth when compared to the Leaning Tower, which leans less than 4 degrees.
The tower's giant lean has made construction and design a challenge - it is being built on top of an incredible dense mesh of reinforced steel that sits above 490 piles drilled 30m underground to minimise gravitational pressures.
The UAE has taken on Europe's best-loved landmarks before - with Dubai building a replica Eiffel Tower at its Falconcity of Wonders development.
Wow whatever will they not think of next? Looks more like a big boot than the leaning tower of pisa. However one can only admire such a structure.
