I could be wrong but Milwaukee's may be quite a bit less sturdier. More bigger buildings more weight. Who knows the swaying technique for the Willis Tower worked for standing against weather elements. Maybe they can figure something out for Milwaukee. Heres a nice little article. https://urbanmilwaukee.com/2014/03/1...-sinking-city/
If this was true, why would Northwestern Mutual build it's new (tall) world headquarters in downtown Milwaukee within the last couple of years? I'm guessing, they "figured it out."
Some of yall equations are getting too long.
2 or 3 cities please. Its suppose to be somewhat challenging...lol
I know, it's just I think that any decent sized southern upper midwest city like Milwaukee, a midland city like St. Louis and the big city status of New York and you put it in a blender, it ends up like Chicago.

Not sure where you're getting "southern". Milwaukee is not southern.
Not really, they're very different if you've spent time in both. Maybe River North because of the high-rises but even then still very different to me.
No city has the tenement blocks of especially Manhattan and into other Boroughs. But Chicago using old warehousing from River North to the West Look and re-purposing to Loft living. Actually superior to tenement as they are self-contained units and more likely soundproof with high ceilings and balconies. Add the highrises added it gave density and totally new interiors.
In the level Chicago has around and in the core. Few cities match them. A city of skyscrapers is needed to include in the mix. So Toronto may fit best being even a Great Lakes shoreline city, but it has less of the older skyscrapers.
No city matches Chicago in how its street-grid is uniformly spread with full alleyways across 90% of the city. Also the fronts free from ugly powerlines and poles because they run thru the alleyways in back. So hard to match street-grid there to. No city has the Chicago style Craftsman Bungalow belt built 20s 30s brick homes that grew to be 1/3 the city still today. Though LA had its own Bungalow-belt the same era with its Arts and Crafts era bungalows. But LA's were not brick and the large porches. No city had the Greystone varieties of a past era. Two-three flat neighborhoods that are like a 1/4 of the city and its creation of the front open court-yard apt building. I did see them all the way south in like Burmingham AL though.
Other Midwest cities did adapt some to their own versions of say bungalows, that may still be similar like Milwaukee.
Love me some mid-century bungalow-ranch styles too pretty unique too there. So no city will match a city that has its own styles and flair. Why combinations are used.
