Norway's wooden skyscraper points to sustainable urban construction

Mjøstårnet, an 18-storey wooden skyscraper in Norway, is the world's tallest all-timber building, standing at 277 feet. The structure uses engineered wood for its frame, floors, and even elevator shaft, offering a low-carbon alternative to concrete and steel. As cities seek to reduce emissions, timber construction is emerging as a viable solution for future urban development.
