This decade has seen a building boom in major US cities across the nation. Which city skyline do you think has improved the most over the past 10 years or so? Buildings under construction count, as they will soon improve a city's skyline. Proposed buildings do not.

Post great pictures of course!

I'd say Miami, since the brunt of the condo boom came in the 2000s.

I'm going to be a homer on this one. While I can't say for sure if Charlotte's skyline has improved the most since 2000 of all of the cities on the list, it certainly has improved--and is improving--drastically.

True, but I think cities like Charlotte's and Atlanta's skyline greatly expanded and improved in the 1990s. Miami was kind of late during that period.

Austin has made great strides as well as Miami. I really can't think of any other cities off the bat.

Atlanta's Midtown and Buckhead skylines greatly improved, and Atlantic Station did not even exist before the the mid-2000's and now has its own skyline. I haven't been to Miami, but from the pics I've seen and what I've read about, it's undergone Manhattenization and became the 3rd biggest skyline in the U.S.
