I think a good rule would be if the people who live there consider their "secondary" city to be a suburb/edge city of the larger city nearby. So, would people in Tysons and Bethesda say their cities are suburbs/edge cities of DC? I'd say yes. Would people in Newark say they live in a suburb/edge city of NYC? I'd say definitely no. Stamford, CT? Maybe. White Plains? Sure.
By my criteria, the primary skylines would represent the #1 economic engines of their regions in most cases, at least in terms of walkable radii. That's not Newark or St. Paul.
There's no perfect set of parameters, mine included.
Different topics. In Newark's case it's Newark's qualities. In Jersey City's it's proximity to the main skyline, regardless of JC's qualities.
Interesting distinction, I see what you mean though. If you just consider JC’s skyline spillover from Manhattan then I guess it doesn’t count. Along those lines, I don’t think Miami really has a secondary skyline.
What coast are you talking about? The coast is right there in downtown.
This seems to be a terminology issue. In a localized sense, "coast" usually refers to the land along the open ocean, not inland bays and waterways. (The meaning is different if you're talking about "coastal regions" or in other uses.)
