Sadfie Architects As urban populations grow, cities have experienced a boom in mega-developments. In Chongqing, Singapore, one of the city's latest and largest megaprojects is Raffles City, an under-construction development with eight skyscrapers — plus a ninth, horizontal tower that Curbed has dubbed a "sidescraper." Resembling a cruise ship, the roughly 1,000-foot-long building includes a hotel lobby, greenhouse, office space, restaurants, with the viewing deck lying across three other skyscrapers.
