Why is it important?
This article presents empirical evidence regarding cultural variables from around the globe that developers may wish consider in their deliberations regarding the construction of skyscraper projects that heretofore may not have been considered.
Perspectives
This research project allowed the authors to extend their interest in cross-cultural research into an arena (e.g., construction, skyscrapers) that was previously foreign to them. The practical implications of the cultural results were particularly satisfying to suggest more than just financial and population statistics should be considered by developers.
