Are you planning on shooting this against a green screen, or actually getting a permit to shoot up on a building (good luck ever getting that these days)

Does Angela Nikolau use composites? Does Victoria Odintcova wait for permits?

Doable, but insurance cost wise would be very expensive.
The angle of view in the image is such that you could have out of the frame, one of those air filled landing pads that is a story or more high like they use in the movies for stuntmen or in real life for suicide jumpers in some cases, that is below the dare devil skipping rope plank.. Or a circus style safety net could be below the dare devil. The angle of view of that photo does not preclude either of those safety measures being present, if that stunt was done today.

The photographer that is most famous for starting this trend in shooting was Peter B Kaplan, back in the 60's and 70's. In addition to shooting the architecture of the buildings, he also produced an extensive series of nudes, shot from up high with cityscapes as his backgrounds.
Peter died recently but his work lives on. He was the only photographer at the time to gain legal access to the Statue of Liberty, Trade Towers, Time Square, Empire State Building, among many other famous landmarks.The city of New York awarded him the key's to the city and access to all the city bridge, where he would often take his models.
In the United States, it's almost impossible in this day and age to access the top floors, or rooftops (let alone, communications towers) on the tops of the worlds tallest buildings without the permission and help of those buildings security and maintenance personnel. Particularly in New York, where Homeland Security has sealed off access to rooftops for various reasons. It can be done, with proper city permits, building permits and heavy insurance policies.
For those not familiar with Peter B Kaplan's work . . . here's some online to see:
