Melbourne, in the shadow of Sydney, which has already gained international status after hosting the 2000 Olympic Games, wants to become the new Manhattan and is building skyscrapers in a bid to joint the list of world-class cities and gain more recognition.
According to some estimates, in five years from now Melbourne’s population could double with more businesses being lured by its high-flying building program. A 13-story “Greek tower” named Evrika is going to be built in the city’s center to give it a landmark and will be the Greek Civilization center of Melbourne’s Greek community. It is being designed by a Greek architect and aims to be a major tourist attraction.
