if you are comparing all the buildings in both cities why combine them? Does that make sense to you? why don't you think of something first before you jump to attack it. Like it or not but if they had built all those districts together it would have been far far larger than Philly. Philly would look puny next to it, and the most comparable district the poster could have come up with was Chicago.
and yes, 190M sq feet is more than 3 times 45M sq feet.
Why would the poster use a puny example like Philly for the combined skyline comparison when with DT alone it is almost the size of Philly already?
HTOWN not all the 190 million is highrise. not even close. and yes 360 highrises combiuned is pretty close to the 330 combined which is Philly today.
So should I say if all of KOP etc were highrise in the city Philly would look like Chicago - last i checked most are not highrises nor are they in Houston. ARE you really suggesting that the 190 million in Houston reflects highrise sq footage - as you say above, think of what you are saying
Houston as cluster is nothing like Chciago and basically equivelent to Philly.
I guess you stacking suburban office builings or something in the dreamland u reside
I am speaking reality, you are not and is my point yet somehow u continue to justify things that are continually untrue...
But this was what I was talking about earlier..... it's taken as different CBD's within ONE city, like L.A. or Houston, or NY, or the other cities already mentioned.
Or am I missing something...?
I guess I read it as what CBDs are doing well (retail, skyscraper development, vibrancy, etc...) even though they have business districts or CBDs nearby. Downtown Minneapolis is impressive considering the fact that downtown St. Paul and the nation's largest mall are 10 miles away. In most cities if one drives 10 miles in any direction, s/he is still well within city limits. The same can't be said about Minneapolis.

Why can't you Texans understand what KidPhilly is saying? Is it really that hard for you to comprehend. Philly's downtown is much larger than Houston's and even if you added all of your highrises throughout the city to your downtown Houston would still be more comparable to Philly than Chicago. Chicago blows Houston out of the water. Houston only has 30 more highrises than Philly... so how in the hell would Houston make Philly look puny? That makes no sense. Houston would still be comparable to Philly and Chicago would still blow both out of the water.
'A puny example like Philly'? lol... Philly has a much larger downtown than Houston... accept it. Philly has the third largest downtown in the nation. I know it's hard for you to accept the facts sometimes Htown but literally your exaggerated falsehood opinions are quite funny. You Texans can't accept that anything is better than your state. Texas is the center of the universe!

because what Kidphilly is saying is not what anyone esle is saying. And no. DT Philly is not so much larger than DT Houston.
Oh wait, you have never been here, no wonder you are making such ridiculous claims.

I don't need to go to Houston to know that Philly has a larger downtown. Maybe much larger was an exaggeration but Downtown Houston is 1.8 square miles. Center City Philadelphia is 2.2 square miles... and this is the Vine to South, River to River boundaries not including the Franklintown and Callowhill neighborhoods (another 1.3 square miles) or University City (another 2.2 square miles) which residents consider a part of downtown Philly
Downtown Houston also has a population of 14,000 while Center City Philadelphia has a population of 90,000.
So yes Philly is larger in every single way... even if you added all of Houston's highrises throughout the city to Downtown it would only be slightly larger than Center City and still more comparable to Philly than Chicago
