Vladimir Ilyich designed the 4-kilometer tower back in the 1960s (Nikitin Tower-Travusha 4000). The project was developed for Japan. The residential building was supposed to accommodate up to 500,000 people. Work on the project was stopped in January 1969 after the Japanese side demanded that the estimated height of the tower be reduced first to 2 kilometers, then to 550 meters. The structural elements of the Nikitin-Travush skyscraper tower were later used in the X-Seed 4000 skyscraper project proposed in Japan.
