KC has three urban skylines two suburban skylines.
The three urban skylines are all in KCMO while the suburban skylines are in Overland Park, KS and KCK. There are other office park skylines, but nothing worth mentioning. I don’t care about the suburban skylines though. Places like Clayton and Covington are fine, but no suburban office parks!
Here are KC’s
Country Club Plaza
This is a very mixed used area with a lot of retail and residential, but also office and entertainment.
Umm, a lot for NYC. Don't know how many. I'll get back to you on that one lol.
OK, first off, who says LOL anymore. Isn’t that so 2005? I thought you east coasters stayed on top of those kinds of things.
Yea, but that's a different scale. So it's all relative and the skylines of NYC would individually dwarf just about any city in the US, except downtown Chicago.
Let me help you out.
When I think of NYC area skylines, four come to mind right away. I’m talking about a massing of buildings.
Lower Manhattan/Downtown
Midtown
Brooklyn
Jersey City
I know there are many more. There are residential areas in Queens that would dwarf all of KCMO. I get that.
But here are some photos.
This one shows Brooklyn, Downtown and even Jersey City all in one shot.

Yep, don't know what city can beat that
What most people don't realize is that if Brooklyn had stayed its own city, I think it would be the third largest city in the country. Its skyline would probably have been much bigger too. But it does have a pretty awesome skyline. I can see it from certain places here in Queens. It really stands out. From far away I sometimes have trouble distinguishing between Brooklyn and downtown Manhattan's skyline; that's how similar they are now (except when the Freedom Tower will be there).
Wow, that's pretty cool. I think Syracuse is the only major/medium sized city I have not been too. It looks very urban and vibrant in those photos. Looks like a great large college town with a lot of younger people living in the city etc.

Very nice.
It's actually odd. There's the University Hill area, which includes the Westcott, University and University Hill neighborhoods, which was recently ranked as one of the best neighborhoods in the country by this publication:Greater University HillÂ* — Syracuse, New York
Then, you have the rest of the city. There's downtown with it's nice squares like Armory Square, Hanover Square and Clinton Square. We have a Little Italy and other ethnic neighborhoods like Tipperary Hill and the Westside neighborhood, which is still mainly Polish. We have rough neighborhoods too, but that's no different than any other city.

Metro New York has a TON! Coop City has an almost alien skyline (hundreds of identical buildings). I really kind of have a soft spot for downtown New Rochelle... Some cool buildings there.

Midtown Manhattan
Not sure what you would call this area, I think it’s in Queens though.
Jersey City
Newark
JC and most of Manhattan
Brooklyn
I think your picture of Queens is actually of northern Brooklyn possibly the Bushwick area. There is none of the landmarks of western Queens like the Citibank building of Long Island City, the Queensboro bridge or Newtown Creek.
Queens itself has 3 main downtown areas - Long Island City, Flushing and Jamaica. I often work in Jamaica and it does remind me of a small city.
There is also Forest Hills which while not a downtown as it is mostly residential but certainly looks like a city if you take a drive down Queens Blvd!
