MORE than 4,000 building workers, designers and engineers who played a part in the design and construction of Shanghai Tower had their moment in the sun yesterday with the unveiling of a Wall of Honor.

The 60-meter-long structure was erected in gratitude to all the people who played their part in the development of the world’s second-highest building, said Ge Qing, deputy general manager of its operating company Shanghai Tower Construction and Development.

Also yesterday, members of the public were allowed inside the basement of the 632-meter tower — which is second in height only to the 829.8-meter Burj Khalifa in Dubai — to see an exhibition about the skyscraper and similar structures from around the world.
