Technical Marvel's Shortcoming

In The Heights: Anatomy of a Skyscraper www.amazon.com/Heights-Anatomy-Skyscraper-Kate-Ascher/dp/1594203032, author Kate Ascher notes Dubai brought in the world's best architects and engineers to build the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world (2,716.5 feet and 160 stories). Despite it impressive edifice the structure lacks a sewage infrastructure! Trucks haul away sewage from the skyscraper and queue up at a water treatment plant, sometimes waiting a full day to deliver their loads.
