St. Louis is gaining more of density back, especially in the North. A lot of the city is dense, though. I love the rowhouses that are right up against each other.
What are the most urban cities in America based on density and architecture, excluding downtowns?
Here's my list. What do you think?
1.New York
2.Chicago
3.Boston
4.San Francisco
5.Philadelphia
6.Baltimore
7.Cincinnati
8.Pittsburgh
9.Washington
10.St.Louis
Based on population density, San Francisco is 2nd. Architecture is totally arbitrary and based on personal opinion, but I will say that SF is probably the most easily identifiable city. There's just no mistaking.

I think that what you really are trying to get is America's Most Dynamize Urban Cities......Tell me if I'm Right Or Not....Urban Density Thrown Me For A Loop.....Some of the Least Urban Cities Oklahoma City 871 sq/mile El Paso TX
337 people sq/mile and last but not least (Anchorago AK) 187 people per square mile.
First of all, I think it is best to talk about structural density and not population density, and there is no statistic for measuring structural density. Secondly, places like Pittsburgh are going to appear to have much less density because of white flight, and because the hills make it impossible to build on--Pittsburgh thus, has very dense "pockets" of urbanization that won't show up on any stat. The third thing I want to say is this: Cincinnati is a beautiful urban city that probably deserves to be in the top ten, but Cinci just doesn't have the magnitude of rowhouses that the Northeastern cities have. Yes, you have Over the Rhine and Pendleton, but those neighborhoods are so small compared to some of the neighborhoods in the east. With that being said, my opinion is as follows:
New York City
Boston
Chicago
Philadelphia
San Francisco
DC
Baltimore
Pittsburgh
New Orleans
Cincinnati

You missed Philadelphia, which would come in 9th at 10,882.8 people/sq. mile.
