Toronto doesn’t have more TO nodes than greater NYC because a lot of those individuals nodes listed by the OP form part of larger singular CBD core/clusters. It’s about as accurate as me listing Hudson Yards as “separate” of Midtown because it’s half a mile away.
Mexico City is the only city in NA that can be compared to NYC on an urban lvl.
you say a lot of those nodes are part of the CBD so can you list them then?
I will admit that the Yorkville-bloor cluster is merging with the central skyline but that is just occuring now, so besides yorkville which of these are part of the CBD

They are part of secondary CBD’s, they don’t function as their own.
Mississauga
Islington City
Humber Bay
Midtown/Deer Park
North York
Flemingdon Park
Scarborough City Center
Those are Toronto’s satellite CBD/skylines.
Outside of central Toronto, they are the only ones that contain multiple +100m buildings due to specifically being built around major arteries/highways/transit nodes. All the other ones form part of their urban form
So unless we are allowing NYC’s equivalents like West Brighton in Brooklyn, or CO-OP City in the Bronx to be counted as “skylines” in which case I can think of about 50 in greater NYC.
Again this is not taking anything away from Toronto, but NYC operates on a completely different numerical scale.
Bloor-yorkville is not a secondary skyline, it is now and has always been considered part of the main downtown core as there is no significant density drop off from the CN Tower to yorkville.

what Yonge/Eglinton, Vaughan Metro Centre which have 200m buildings, all the highrises clusters along Sheppard avenue above 100m?, liberty village, the Reagent Park Redevelopment, etc...
there is so much being built in Toronto currently that if you have not been in the city recently you will bae misinformed. Vaughan has built 3 200m buildings in the last year for example. there are countless projects underway across and around the city that I even am surprised when i go to an area in the GTA I haven't been been to in a couple of years.

All the buildings along Sheppard are absolutely not 100m. Do they have a lot of +100m towers, yes, but let’s not pretend suburbs of Toronto are Kowloon or Manhattan.
If we are saying Younge/Eglinton or Vaughan Metro Center count as entirely separate skylines because they have a several +100 buildings doted around them in the middle of suburbia, then we should be able to count every single high rise cluster in NYC. There are ~15 in the Bronx alone. All of which each have multiple +100m buildings in closer proximity than their Toronto counterparts.
Anyway you slice it, NYC is going to beat Toronto in high-rise numerics. It’s just the nature of the business

The aim of the thread is basically to have it recognized .... that Toronto has surpassed any other US city in any stats related to multi-nodes then NYC. Whether it is argued this splitting it as many as 60 is pushing it by counting and separating far more then should be.
So Canadians can be satisfied that no one can argue a US Metro has more. Isn't that the point of the thread hoped for and declared by the OP in the first place? I think that is clear and multiple skylines..... does not equate to numbers of the buildings that NYC still can claim anyway.....

are you really saying that Yonge and Eglinton as in the link below is not it's own skyline???

Yonge and Eglinton as seen in the link below and is 9 km from the CN tower is not it's own skyline???
this is one of the most ridiculous things i have ever heard.
speaking of boston, i would say back bay (hancock, pru, clock tower, .. ); then, kinda' south end (h-building, fed reserve,...).
n.y.c.: manhattan then brooklynish.
atlanta: downtown then midtown.
And also maybe the Cumberland area as the Braves are putting up some skyscrapers there in the near future.
