Toronto is only much more impressive than Philadelphia in terms of number of high-rises. Toronto's SKYLINE itself isn't that massive as the numbers say because Toronto does not have that many buildings over 500 feet. A massive skyline to me is a very large and a very tall skyline. I do not think sh*tloads of 300 footers around 16 500+ footers make an amazing unmatched skyline.
If you include buildings under construction, Toronto has 28 buildings over 500 feet tall.
Both Skylines are nice but I would lean towards Toronto on this one. If Philly didn't have the Gentlemen's agreement for so many years, I think Philly's skyline would've been in the top 5 in the U.S.
One thing I can say is that both cities have comparable transit systems look at both cities subway systems Bloor-Danforth line compared to the Broad st. line and Young Spadina line compared to the Market street line. Also the various trolley and bus lines each city have.
I would hope so considering Toronto is Canada's largest city and Philadelphia is the US's 6th largest city.
Hey man don't feel to bad. I think philly is a great city with a sizable downtown and has great food. Really the phillies won the world series and everything don't feel bad. Now I feel like a jackass.
Toronto's amazing downtown density is nicely displayed here:
Toronto just has to fill that gap between midtown and uptown and it'll truely make it a complete metropolis. Unfortunately it's all suburban North York
