WITH BRIDGES WE RISE Countries are obsessed with construction. Every economic success story begins with an ambitious construction project. Especially the high and the mighty types. Take for examples cities like Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore and Dubai. All went through a major real estate boom en-route to financial supremacy. And almost all cities across the world has one towering jewel in the construction crown. So why is a high rise more important than a low rise ? As kids we learn to look up into the sky The day sky seemed limitless and the night sky is filled with stars. It appeals to the inner child wanting to grow up. It forces us to dream. Somehow, we believe that we progress if we can soar high in the sky. For us, growth has become a vertical idea. We have to rise above the messy ground reality level to a place that is higher up. We also define ambition in terms of height. While real estate booms, the real explosive element behind this boom is the humble bridge.
