This proposed tower, formerly known as the Kingdom Tower, will stand 1-kilometre (0.62 mi) tall.

Sounds like it's asking for the name of the tower, not the city.

Not "too" provocative. They didn't even mention that the northern section of the city is occupied by an outside invader.

Creepy's more how I'd describe it. If you go to Google Maps, there's no Street View, but a few people have taken panoramas there. Its weird seeing such big spaces, buildings and monuments, but so few people. Looks almost post-apocalyptic, except that everything is pristine.

Perfect for a movie set, then. Sci-fi dystopian horror/thriller.
