They also double as space elevators and people lived on every floor to create vertical communities. The engineering problem of actually making something that big and not collapsing under their own weight was solved by constructing them largely from diamond, which was harvested from space (huge amounts of it were ejected from Jupiter in 2010). "Seriously tall" doesn't begin to describe it. Which means they're about 36 thousand kilometres tall - nearly three times the diameter of the planet itself - and several kilometres in diameter. Clarke's 3001 contains four towers that reach from the earth to geostationary orbit. The peak of Coruscant's highest mountain, Umate, forms the centerpiece of a public plaza, not because it was lopped off and moved or anything but because it was simply enveloped by the city-planet's endless vertical growth. The most prominent is the galactic capital, Coruscant.

So big, it's essentially a world within a world (though it's actually the playable world of the fictional SAO game, it does get ported to Alfheim in the second arc). The tower is actually a metaphor for her lifespan as a magical girl, and the floor number is the number of days she survived - just a little above 7 years.
