Thank you.
They let you post photos from Flickr and wikipedia on SSP but you have to credit the person who took the photo
I'll still go with Hawaii. One of the best skylines in the US, if only it was on the mainland would people appreciate it more. You can't even see the whole skyline in that photo.
Miami city proper is like 400,000 something but its metro area is like 5 million something and growing, but yeah as far as city propers go Miami's skyline is definitely impressive for its population, 3rd largest in the US.
Don't forget, metro areas have A LOT to do with a cities skyline and downtown for that matter, not everyone working downtown lives in the city, people commute in and out of the suburbs aka metro area that surround the city all the time.
The opposite of this thread can be "Which cities have such a large population that it's skyline should be more impressive?" Los Angeles definitely wins that.
I think most American cities, even mid-sized cites have decent skylines when compared to many international cities of the same size. Even some of our suburbs like Tyson Corners & Clayton, Missouri have skylines.
Chicago stands out to me because she has less than half the population of NYC but her skyline is more or less similar to Manhattan. Some other cities like Toronto, Seattle, Vancouver, Miami and Philadelphia also stand out.
i got to give it to this person he knows what he is talking about. they say NY and Toronto has the most buildings over 300ft in NA. But I would say this i like Chicago's downtown skyline better than both. And thats coming from a person who loves both NYC and Toronto i think there is no place on earth better than any of these two but thats just a matter of opinion. But I do love Chi- town skyline better it's just amazes me how it spreads and is so neatly joined together.
Saying San Diego has more skyscrapers than its population is really throwing a jab at south florida's coast line with all those highrises.
Atleast most of San Diego's residential skyscrapers are condos and lofts.. not time-shares and hotels.
Oakland has a big skyline for only having 300k
I think Oakland has quite a bit more than 300k (closer to ~400k)
