I believe Pittsburgh is incorrect as well. specially factoring in the Oakland neighborhood. Pittsburgh has a nice collection of older skyscrapers and highrises.
At ground level no other city on this list can compare to downtown Pittsburgh. The narrow streets and historic building stock makes the difference.Pittsburgh has generations of skyscrapers as well. Pittsburgh has scrapers from the 1800's through 2000's. The growth of downtown does not mirror the growth of the region. Downtown Pittsburgh (actually the city itself) employs more people than at any time in its history.
I agree. Charlotte's skyline is in a smaller area than the others. It is tall but lacks other areas to make it more cohesive.
This would mean that Charlotte's skyline is more compact so I don't understand how "it lacks other areas to make it more cohesive." Its relative compactness would already make it pretty cohesive, no?
Pittsburgh reigns supreme when it comes to mid-sized cities skylines. There really is no comparison to the natural setting blended with the built form. Honorable mentions to Minneapolis and SD.
