Definitely Nashville. Nashville has surged ahead in terms of its skyline in just 3 years, adding density and height. In 2017/18, going from roughly 20 completed over 300 feet to now 31+ and tons more under construction.

San Antonio's skyline could use a bit of work. They have a good base, but need several for increased density. Plus, their skyline is a bit aesthetically "messy" for me--with those huge antenna towers and the one observation tower of americas--not a fan personally.

Houston, TX or Denver, CO?

Houston, TX or Denver, CO?
Houston ecks out a win, if you only look at just constructed buildings alone, and NOT mountains/rivers/parks/etc. After all besides its main skyline, it has a few other smaller skylines outside of downtown. Particularly the Texas Medical Center, and Midtown. I'll be honest even with the mountains you can see in the Denver photos, I just like Houston's skyline photos overall better. This one is underrated, IMO.

An all Alberta province showdown: Edmonton, or Calgary?

I picked Edmonton although both look great! Edmonton looks a little bigger. Tacoma WA or Long Beach CA?

Long Beach for me. I like their skyline--understated for sure.

Phoenix or Oklahoma City?

Phoenix or Oklahoma City?
Phoenix is more Stunning and Dense
Take away Phoenix's Natural Evironment/Mountains and Oklahoma City's Devon Tower, the competition is a little more closer, But Still Phoenix, OKC's skyline is not dense at all

Oklahoma City or Memphis

Oklahoma City. I like the Devon tower. Memphis does not and will not have anything compared to that. Oklahoma City is growing, so I expect a few more towers in the future.

Indianapolis, IN or Tampa, FL?

Definitely Tampa, for me. Tampa has some great projects on the horizon that will increase height and density.

Indianapolis has a great base and a really nice tallest tower, but Indianapolis needs a good 6-8 more skyscrapers between 300-500 feet to beef up density. This will put the total over 300 feet around 20, or so, which is where it should be for its city size and status.

Indianapolis or Kansas City?

Kansas City is better. Better architecture and more balanced. Like Indianapolis, the city could use some new towers. Kansas City is quickly infilling, so we will see.
