Sydney Harbour Bridge (SHB)
The Sydney_Harbour_Bridge is such a fantastic structure.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/93/Harbour_Bridge_looking_South_%2814039660121%29.jpg Wow, originally with 6 lanes & 4 sets of tracks. The Burrard_Bridge in Vancouver, BC was designed to have 6 lanes & a lower level for streetcars or tram-trains. No trams on the non-existent lower level, as Vancouver wants to be one of the last cities to bring back its trams. Unlike NSW, BC seems to have a problem with allowing trains on road bridges in the 21st century.
It's no wonder that such a wide & magnificent bridge from the 1930s would instantly become a fantastic NSW landmark & an Australian icon. Unfortunatly, it looks like Canada won't have a bridge of a similar magnitude by the 2030s. The 4 lane Pattullo+Bridge in BC is less than half its width & only has 1 sidewalk & never had any provision for trains. Its replacement will only open with 4 lanes & no HOV or bus lanes. Thus, its a pale imitation to the 8 lane Anzac_Bridge.

Hopewell Centre (Hong Kong)
(1,190,000 sq ft)
"The building uses a circular floor plan. Although the front entrance is on the 'ground floor', commuters are taken through a set of escalators to the 3rd floor lift lobby. Hopewell Centre stands on the slope of a hill so steep that the building has its back entrance on the 17th floor towards Kennedy Road."
