Suburban/Secondary skylines vs mid-sized city skylines? (places, America, bigger)

[Gaylord_Focker]

Is it me or do some of the suburban ones such as Bellevue, Clayton, Buckhead, Arlington ,etc can hold it's own against mid-sized cities like Columbus, Nashville, Jacksonville, etc?

As skylines, sure.

As urban places, some of these either (a) aren't built in truly urban form, or (b) still have too many old-suburbia remnants to be truly urban.

Bellevue is doing ok on "a" (about 35 years after a major code update), but needs another round to accomplish "b."

You have to include Perimeter and Cumberland as well.

These skylines are even bigger than that of central Phoenix even!!!

Bellevue >> Baltimore, Oakland, Tampa city

Buckhead >> San Antonio, Phoenix, Orlando

Fort Lauderdale >> Jacksonville, Louisville, Raleigh

Mississauga, Arlington, and Bellevue are the three most impressive in North America.

Bellevue is definitely not larger than Baltimore and Tampa’s buildings are significantly taller

Beckhead isn’t a separate city, it a separate core from Downtown/Midtown Atlanta so not sure why this counts

I agree on Fort Lauderdale

Buckhead was included because the thread is title secondary skylines (not cities). Buckhead is 9 miles from DT atlanta

Which arlington out of curiosity (both are decent).

Jersey City has to be up there too, especially with the harbor and nearly 800ft building, and a 900ft building opening this year.

Both Buckhead and Jersey City have 20+ 400ft+ tall buildings, which is the most in the US for a secondary skyline from what I can tell.
