The development of "ultra high-rise skyscrapers" in tiny Chinese cities has been prohibited by Beijing. In a statement made on Tuesday, the country's Ministry of Housing and Urban and Rural Development verified the situation. According to the Chinese Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, a building with a height of more than 150 meters cannot be built in cities with a population of less than three million people, and a building with a height of more than three million people can be built in cities with a population of more than three million people. Buildings more than 500 meters in height are currently illegal in China. The new regulation is the inclusion of this prohibition.
