I like Atlanta better, but Philly is more compact. Just my two cents.

How the heck is ATL winning this contest? Did anyone look at the photos?!?! Yikes!!
Philly all the way here... more density, FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR better architecture, nicely balanced. ATL's skyline is.... yawn.

I was just about to say, zoom out a little bit and Philly wins by far!
Atlanta's almost feels like a straight line of buildings while philly's can be viewed at more angles.
Great Pics of both cities though!!

Photos, due to telephoto lenses, don't tell the true story. Philly wins hands down. Better downtown, denser, larger, way more going on. But...Atlanta has better architecture especially if you include midtown & Buckhead.

Atlanta is not winning. It is 8 to 4 in favor of Philly
Atlanta has a little more height than Philly.
However, Philly is way more dense
IMO, Philly has better architecture too |

Philly BY FAR. Symmetry, density, quantity, architecture.
Atl's is way too spread out, you can't even tell where the skyline starts and ends.
