Its worth noting that hive cities in warhammer stretch far below the surface and number in the thousands, with each hive city being located on a bearly inhospitable planet within the imperium. They are so large that some internal sections have their own weather and can even have regular buildings built inside. The game; "warhammer 40k: darktide" actually takes place within hive city tertium and is a good place to look in case you want to see what the inside of an average hive city looks like. Also of note, hive cities in the imperium tend to be very terrible in terms of living conditions, safety, crime, food/water, and even just basic sunlight. Many who are born in hive cities will live their entire lives without ever seeing the outside or the sun.
That can also be applied to star wars , because the planet of Coruscant have 5000+ floors , the tallest mountain of the planet is only visible from its peak the whole mountain is otherwise is submerged in the city world
Hell, even taller physical buildings exist in 40K. The tallest building on Terra is Lions Gate Starport which is an Orbital Elevator ramped to 11. It can dock a fleet outside the atmosphere.
The Combine Citadel also goes several km underground, it's basically one solid structure that was teleportated straight into Earth from the Combine overworld
The Tree of Pain in the book Hyperion. It's said to reach the edge of the sky, and covered in thorns for which a person was impaled on each thorn. They do not meet death, only pain where they wail by the millions through time.
And if someone would think that's monstrous, (spoilers) that's just a huge alarm clock to draw out the human UI to come out and play, while the contemporary ai's would put billions of humans crammed into dark underground tunnels, with embedded artefact preventing death, to serve as biological network they could live in.

Note - Hive Primus (40k) is fairly standard of hive worlds in that setting. Also, not mentioned is the Vlka Fenryka (Space Wolves) Astartes Fortress Monastery, The Fang, which is essentially a fortress incorporating a fortified space elevator.
Space elevators aren't buildings, so they don't count in theory. They're just some kind of constructed structure. If Arrakeen Palace doesn't have a given exact height, it just doesn't have one. The movie adaptation didn't make it 16,000+ meters tall either, so what's the point of making up numbers?
@@KamikazeCommie501 A building is something you'd live or work in. A structure can be a building, but not necessarily. For example, transmission towers. As for space elevators, they are vertical transportation conduits. You'd no more call that a "building" than you would the Chunnel or the Golden Gate Bridge.
A Space Elevator is a construct not a building. The vast majority of it is uninhabitable connective tether. What you can count are Spacescrapers on Holy Terra in 40K. Whilst no official height is given, they were described as being above the atmosphere which is 100K KM hight, placing it at no.1. They were mentioned in several Heresy novels down the years.
Slight error on The Pearl, you said it's in San Fransisco, while on the film it's located in Hong Kong. Maybe you missremembered The Pearl with the Glass Tower from the "Towering Inferno"?
The Fang from Warhammer 40k is stated to be so tall that it pierces the atmosphere and can be used to service the Space Wolves warships (that are from 1 to 10-12km each)
The Tower in Tower of God would be on this list. I don’t know about rivaling the height of the space elevators, but up until that point it was WAY taller than previous buildings, as the tower itself is several countries stacked on top of each other. Each floor has its own sky, so it’s gotta be extremely tall.
This and if we're measuring from the ground to peak, since Coruscant has sub levels below the visible surface, would make the spire of the temple at least 5200 levels deeper, then the "depths" that reach the actual surface.
A Hive City is like a tree. If it's 16 kilometers tall it's also 16 kilometers deep into the ground. Got to have somewhere for the workers to grind up dead bodies to make food for the workers.
Are we not counting the 6km or so of building under the jedi temple and other coruscant building? We only are seeing the tip of the iceberg in both cases.
Truly and the temple itself is built on a giant sphere structure which covers the actual planet is just crazy. Coruscant itself should be on the list of tallest building 😂
Giant sphere?? I've always wondered how coruscant worked. It's not just a bunch of very tall buildings, it's like multi-km tall traditional buildings but built on top of some vast semi-unified artificial layer, under which is more city and buildings but disconnected from the buildings on the "surface"
I don’t think the Dark Tower was that high. If I recall correctly, it was only about 600 ft. It looked very impressive because it was all alone on a flat plain.
The massive area covered by the Tyrell Corporation ziggurat blew me away. But you forgot Niander Wallace’s towers in Blade Runner 2049 which looms over the Tyrell ziggurat. I have recreated the Tyrell ziggurat in LEGO for BrickCan. I am now working on the second Tyrell ziggurat (there are two of them!). Working on the vast city landscape to show the scale of the two ziggurats. If I finish and have time, I will recreate the Wallace Towers to loom over the ziggurats. Fingers crossed, finished for BrickCan 2025…or maybe 2026….2027?
@ No. I work as an illustrator, sculptor and model maker. LEGO is a hobby, just for fun. My LEGO Blade Runner LA Skyline and Tyrell Pyramid and LEGO Blade Runner 2049 are on UA-cam.
I think if it's not permanently anchored to a planet it probably doesn't count. Because if it was just a matter of that then this list would be simply full of cosmic scale megastructures &/or massive starships.
the jedi temple should rank higher, since its a building ontop of other buildings i dont know how "thick" the buildinglayer of Corousant is, but its street-canyons are deep enough that the sun doesnt reach the ground
for the same reason Trantor shouldn't count, those shouldn't count. Geostationary stuff pulls up as much as pushes down. Anyway they're practically impossible (but yes yes, "fictional").
Coruscant itself is a huge sphere structure covering the actual planet's surface. And u can touch the peak of coruscant's tallest mountain in a park it's crazy.
All of fiction is a stretch. For example in the Hex books by Rhiannon Lassiter the city of London had built up to at least 3.2 km, and that's many buildings across a city not just a single one.
Funny thing is, when (if) the Jeddah Tower is completed it'll be taller than the Millennium Gate, Ice Crown Citadel, Urithiru and the Jedi Temple by 8 metres. No mention of how high above the ground the house in the 2013 movie Oblivion is though?
Though it's a bit smaller than other building here, the Sky Corridor and the Ancient Fortress from Monster hunter frontier are supposed to reach the sky. Morever, the Fortress is huge and wide
>design a 1 km structure >where to build it >I know, in the most famously earthquakey city in America >USA USA! The sad part is, some rich tech guy (born abroad) will probably do it.
The hives in Wings of Fire. A dragon is about the size of a largeish whale, not counting the tail and wings. The hives are about as big to dragons as the super tall real building that I can’t spell is to humans. Except that standing at full height a dragon would be way taller than a whale. A dragon is canonically at least 3-4 times taller than humans. That would make the hives something like 2400-3200 metres high.
Nice to mention Icecrown Citadel, although Torghast may be larger in the World of Warcraft universe. As far as constructs go, there's still that one sword in Silithus... 🤔😃😃
Korins toweer is i interesting because despite the heght, it's really thin, so it'd be hard to even see the actual scale of it properly. The tower part is like 2 meters at most in with. And at 8 km high, that scale would be the equivalent of a strand of human hair 72cm long
If a dome and space elevators are considered here, then we may need to include the one megastructure that started off as a building and never finished being built by nanomachines eons later. This would be the megastructure from the manga, “BLAME!”. Next to structures like The Ring from the book with the same title, there are few structures in fiction larger than the one from BLAME!.
In Battle Angel Alita Last Order there is a space elevator that starts from the floating city called Zalem and goes several kilometers above the Earths atmosphere connecting to a ring that encircles Earth.
A couple things. One, the buildings on Coruscant in Star Wars, wouldn't that be just their height above the level of the densely packed buildings that cover the entire planet? I'm not sure how far down they go, but I'd expect it's a lot more than 4km. Second, to join all the "you forgot this one" folks, I was hoping to see the New Mombasa space elevator from Halo 2, 3 and ODST.
Coruscant itself covers the whole planet including its tallest mountain my guess is coruscant is built over 9 or 10km above the actual surface of the planet. Sad many people doesn't know about this. And coruscant itself should be counted as tallest building 😂
@@swdeadpool1129 As I recall in the old EU, it wasn't really known how far down the construction goes on Coruscant. The farther down you go, the more dangerous it gets, and there are worlds down there that are completely isolated from the surface and the rest of the galaxy. Places the movies and shows never even get close to.
Honourable mention: the tower in cyberCity oedo 808 that's so tall it needs it's own inertia spinners at the base to stop it from falling down? Not sure how tall it is, but I think it had thousand+ floors
I've always liked The Tower of Art in Ankh-Morpork from 'The Discworld' series. It's not the tallest (888ft), or the prettiest, but it looms over the city, and nobody has the faintest idea who built it, why, and when.
any of the buildings from the realms of magic outside of the multiverse in dc (dreams tower, the silver spire, whatever the name of the tower in hell is, most of the buildings on apokolypse) would be bigger
are we sure that tower from Aliens is really that high? Cause I don't think it is. I think some nerd wrote a number in there, 1500 feet would be reasonable, keeping in perspective with the APC and humans.
The Dark Tower. It is a physical place, and metaphysical lynch pin encompassing size and space. It both contains and binds the physical universe. It's not on this list
