How many highrises are going up in Miami and NYC? I know NYC has TONS going up.
Chicago is currently at 44 under actual construction and 3 more that are having site-work/demo. There are 60+ proposals, but I don't really look at much until financing is in place and there is actual site-work/demo (it's GOING to happen).
What about other places with a lot of highrise construction? Stats?
That's great Seattle only has 25 towers under construction but we have over a dozen sites that are site-work/demo and dozens of proposed.

NYC has about ~100 highrises currently U/C. Its hard to track though.
There are 19 skyscrapers over 670ft currently u/c, 7 supertalls u/c with 6 recently topped out.
In addition, there are 12 more skyscrapers over 670ft in site prep, including 6 supertalls.
There are proposals for about 25 more supertalls, and ~50 skyscrapers above 670ft. I am pretty sure nobody tracks highrise proposals, because people can barely keep track of all the highrises currently u/c in all the boroughs in the first place, let alone proposals.

Well what do you define as a highrise?
How many stories or feet high?
Remember Miami is a tiny city at 35 Square miles but the construction overflows to suburbs like Miami Beach , Sunny Isles Beach , Ft. Lauderdale ,etc.

Here is a render of most current and future projects we know of:
I knew NYC had tons of development action from surfing the forums at SSP, but damn, I hadn't seen a rendering of them all together.
NYC is disgusting. (I mean this in the best way possible)
Brooklyn is essentially going to become lower Manhattan in the next decade, from a skyline perspective.
It's extremely hard to count, but LA has several highrises going up across the city. The 5 square mile downtown freeway loop has over 20 currently u/c, but as decentralized as LA is, the rest of the city (Koreatown, Hollywood, Westlake, Wilshire corridor) also have about a half dozen each going up.
I don't know how many outside LA know this, but NIMBY opposition has become extreme in Hollywood especially, and anti-development backers are pushing for a bill that would put a 2-year moratorium on all large projects, city-wide. This bill would be detrimental to LA's progress, and I really hope it doesn't pass. The polls as of now are encouraging, but they successfully pushed the vote to March, knowing there will be a lower turnout. It's sickening, because the AIDS healthcare foundation has spent over $1 million of their own funds on the campaign, which could've gone to actual AIDS Research. Even Leonardo Dicaprio and Kirsen Dunst have come out as activists pushing this measure.
P.S. If you check out the link, you will see a picture of Michael Weinsteins (Head of the AIDS healthcare foundation) office view. This whole thing started because a development at the Palladium next door would construct two residential highrises of the same height as the AHF office building. His corner office view wouldn't be so great anymore, now would it.
NYC is certainly a beast! I just hope it doesn't become too much to where it starts to look cluttered (well more cluttered than it already looks). Is NYC doing this to keep the Asian cities at bay?

The cost and permits required to build a high rise in the U.S. is a whole different ballpark than building a high rise in Asian countries.

That's an understatement. It's not even close. And the environmental review is out of control.
