Lol BA looks really cool Sophie! Probably the city in South America i'd like to visit the most.

Yeah of course the Washington Monument came to mind too but then I realised that there have been many copies of the ancient obelisk over time.

Postdamer Platz is Berlin's version of Times Square. It is no Times Square, though. I wasn't very impressed.

Tokyo has three different Times Squares, with Shibuya Crossing being perhaps even more impressive.

Berjaya Times Square in Kuala Lumpur. It's not a square, but it remains grandiose nevertheless.

But after the lockout laws in Sydney and gentrification, I think Australia's times square version is Federation Square in Melbourne.

At ground level the whole square and buildings have a unique look and cohesive appeal. It so distinct from its surrounds that its almost a pleasant distraction form the late 20th and 21st century concrete and steel towers that dominate the city. And the square itself opens onto the old Flinders Street railway station, which is another "out there" design but from the late 19th century.

There's a big lit up Coke sign there but it isn't really a Times Square kind of place. Funny enough Sydney doesn't seem to have any public squares or areas you can truly call the centre of town. Pitt Street Mall? Martin Place? George Street? Or if it's about gathering places, then maybe Darling Harbour?
