But does it have more people living 15 floors or higher? This topic is asking about high rise living, which I see as different than counting the number of buildings of a certain height.
I have no idea and I don't think anyone else does either. If you really want to know that then you'd need to add up the total number of floors for all residential buildings in each city and subtract [15*the number of buildings]. Until then, all we can do is just go off of the number of 15+ buildings in comparable areas.
So then why are you going off of 75m+? That's like 25 floors and higher.
By 15 floors+ DC has more highrises than Atlanta, Seattle and Boston within about 100 sq miles, and almost certainly a higher proportion of residential among its highrises than any of those cities given that none of them are in the CBD (where typically a large majority of highrises are offices and hotels).
Video-time..... short video less then 3-minutes of a single-engine small plane filming a flight
to over downtown Chicago from a North Shore of Lake Michigan suburb. Shows it
- flying over Wilmette a suburb along Lake Michigan,
- then Evanston IL and its downtown with Loyola's main campus,
- then Chicago city-proper starts though the views then go to downtown.
- and views back up the Chicago North shore of high-rises lining Lake Michigan.
- downtown Chicago north to Evanston is 12-miles and a line of high-rises not deep.
Get a kick out of the song playing and words say - I want to go back to yesterday ... hell yeah I would a few decades sure!!! Not really for skylines though. Unless NYC of the 1930s to 60s.
Emporis and Skyscraper.com set a high-rise at 12-39 stories.
Sights that count high-rises in the city use like 1200+ for the city, but over 6000 for NYC.
Other cities fall behind that number for the US to less then half for LA. Then many cities that are close.
Some too close to just try to count most recent and by metro. Just not enough stats sights that do it or can.
I don't know about other cities, but Emporis isn't all that up-to-date when it comes to Boston.
I am sure it's missing some (maybe even more than some) but presumably that would be the case for every city, right? Absent a more accurate source, what should we go off of?
Yeah I get the sense you are pretty averse to facts and data. That's ok, it's not for everyone. Some people don't like the discomfort of having their beliefs challenged.
Btw last time I asked you to define what is "core" and you disappeared into the woods... oh well.
