That should be enough criteria to get this thread off the ground but if it isn't listed and it pertains to some kind of construction then feel free to lump it into this topic and discuss here. There are a few other cities that should belong here in this topic but they are smaller places and I want to keep this topic mostly to the really big cities that have had a lot of construction activity in recent years.
Note, construction activity goes well beyond just highrise and skyscraper construction, so I am looking forward to detailed discussions on construction that cover more facets than just those.
OP ..... you know you see it as Toronto. Give us Americans a break to argue it.... and entertain. I won't vote in your visible polls. Cause I await YOUR VOTE. THOUGH I KNOW Miami you like a lot. For a mere American city. Nothing like Tokyo......
Seattle would take the infrastructure award as it's building dedicated heavy rail, which is unheard off in American cities right now
Toronto takes the high-rise/skyscraper award by a landslide in terms of how much it's throwing up. I read a recent metric that it has more cranes than NYC, LA & Chicago... combined.
Honestly, most of us don't think of Toronto in terms of what's going on there...different country. Just as we don't, often, think of Mexico City, and what's going on there.
Then Seattle. In its core, it's one of the biggest booms in both multifamily, offices, and transit. We even just replaced two miles of highway with a tunnel. Four square miles...37,000 housing units, 16 msf office, 4k hotel rooms started in this decade...
In metro terms it's no contest...Seattle is growing more than anyone but Toronto percentagewise and I suspect in any regard.
I voted for Miami based on the difference in appearance from the turn of the century.
