Atlanta doesn't even make the list lmao. Don't know how this is even a discussion. Atlanta is one of those sprawly oversized suburb cities like Houston, Dallas, and Charlotte. Miami is much more dense and urban as its hemmed in by the Everglades and the Atlantic. Anybody who says Atlanta feels bigger is a homer.
ATL feels larger due to wider streets and the sprawl, even if city limits isn't that big. But in terms of urban density in reality it's Miami no contest.

Or they just have a different way of looking at things.

DC also doesn't make the list but is more dense and urban than Miami despite having no skyscrapers at all. At least ATL's non-skyscraper development cares about street interaction. Miami is a rich people theme park and is just as car-dependent as every other southern city.

Density =/= Urban
Miami's is just as sprawly. The only difference is it's layed out like LA, Houston or Vegas on an uniform grid system (hence the density) where as Atlanta's is spread out haphazardly radially.
Miami is not urban in the same way a city like SF, Philly, Chicago, NYC, Baltimore or DC.

Yeah, if you drive up towards Hard Rock casino or south towards Key West, you can feel how spread out it/sprawly it is.
Brickell is more than TWICE as dense as Midtown. Same with LA. There are several neighborhoods in the Miami area (like Sweetwater) with more than twice the density of Midtown. Atlanta and Miami are not comparable. Atlanta needs to stick with being compared to Houston, Dallas, and Charlotte.
Midtown (for being the densest hood in ATL) has little foot traffic. Brickell is absolutely popping at night meanwhile even on the weekends Midtown is a ghost town.
It's amazing how so many people oversell Miami and undersell Atlanta and think it's some small city, when that's not the case at all.
Definitely! Miami is the new Seattle on here in terms of overselling what things really are.
In the last few days people have been saying that Miami is in the top 3 in the country for urbanity and that Miami is on par with NYC for towers (over cities like Chicago).
Tall buildings don't necessarily translate to being urban. Miami is pressed for space east to west. That forces then to grow north-south and vertically.

And like I’ve been saying, the typical Miami street/neighborhood looks just like any other in one of Florida’s major cities.
