Buckhead is only one of three skylines in Atlanta proper. What you're saying makes no sense.

Jacksonville's skyline is quite respectable for a metro of 1.3 million. I suspect most people who keep mentioning Jacksonville have no clue that the entire skyline, which consists of the Northbank and Southbank clusters, looks like this:

[quote=noland123;12393916]The City of Orlando has only a population of 227,000 so I think it has a very befitting skyline for its size.

City populations are arbitrary. When you consider the size of the metro, which is a more fitting indicator of size, Orlando's skyline, while nice, doesn't quite reflect its size.

I agree. Milwaukee's skyline has a lot of hidden depth that's not often captured from the typical skyline angles. That last shot has a bit of a tropical feel to it.

Phoenix. It has a population of practically 1,500,000 but doesn't have any buildings above 500 feet. It only has two buildings above 400 feet.

I've heard that downtown's proximity to the airport is why it doesn't have any tall buildings. Even that aside, Phoenix's skyline isn't reflective of such a large metro area.

Providence has a tiny skyline for a metro of 1.6 million, though it has a small city proper pop. because it is only 18 sq miles.
