HDI evaluates and assess the progression level of a country based on four main factors or elements which are economy, urbanization, education, and planning progress. This will lead us to the main question: how do countries achieve progression in these sectors? In the past, many countries depended on their natural resources such as oil, gas, fishing, export goods and other needs to develop and achieve success.

As a result most of the wealth countries have huge skyscrapers. As a matter of fact, country’s progression is accomplished by three main factors or elements which are economic, urbanization and planning progress which mentioned earlier. Without these three elements, countries cannot thrive, prosper and attain success. These fundamental elements can be done and improved by constructing high rise buildings which can help to improve country in these three factors through seeking the use of the latest material and system.

In this research paper, the focus will be on how high rise buildings
