I'm actually okay with the look of Albuquerque's downtown area. It doesn't resemble a typical skyline for a city of its size, but the setting isn't exactly typical, either. I like it.

Have to agree with the Salt Lake City comment, at the moment its dull but I do believe that it will improve greatly within the upcoming few years.

yaw want to no why our downtown in columbus georgia is smaller to other city its size and does not have a skyline that is because columbus georgia is poor we have no money and plus our stupid mayor we have now in columbus is not running our city right our stupid mayor in columbus is just sitting on his but taking all of the money from columbus and putting it in his pocket thats why columbus does not have any money for a bigger and better downtown

Montgomery, Alabama has a pretty bland skyline for a city of 200,000.

Default Montgomery and Columbus

I agree. Montgomery (metro area about 350,000 - 2000 census) does have a very dull skyline for it's population (compare it to cities/metro areas in MI and PA and VA and FL that have similar populations). Are there height limitations for buildings in Montgomery like there are for Madison, WI? When looking at dull skylines, the same can be said of Columbus, GA (metro area about 275,000 - 2000 census) when compared to like cities/metro areas across the country or even in it's own state. The truth is, from my memory, the Columbus skyline doesn't look that much bigger than Albany, GA (which has a much smaller metro population). If AFLAC had built it's building headquarters in downtown Columbus instead of a few miles away it would have helped Columbus tremendously, b/c that AFLAC building is pretty tall. Even though a lot of growth is coming to Columbus job-wise I don't know if it will translate to a better skyline. I hope I'm wrong.

i hope our downtown in columbus georgia can get a bigger and better downtown and a better skyline someday i also agree with yaw they should of have built the aflac headquarters in downtown columbus that would have gave us a better skyline if they would have built the aflac headquarters in downtown columbus also i think tsys should of have built a skyscraper downtown also but tsys built a huge campus instead of a skyscraper but i wish tsys would have built a skyscraper downtown in columbus
