i think the second statement was more in response to your statements of midtown "not being anything spectacular" and other comments downplaying midtowns growth

One sentence said, " Midtown has a long way to go to catch up to Uptown Dallas". Another sentence said, "Midtown is not as far behind as you think."

The second sentence is not saying that Midtown does not still have a long way to go to catch UTD, but it's further along in development than what people realize. Like Texas Tallest said, it's more than you seem to know about.

this isnt the "which Houston area compares to uptown Dallas" thread. this is the which is the most pedestrian friendly neighborhood in Texas thread. congrats on having a built up residential uptown, most cities would be envious. but some people prefer the more human scale environment of areas like Midtown Houston, which is why Midtown isnt too far behind UTD in the rankings, despite its lack of skyscrapers.

Uptown Dallas has a lot of lowrises and highrises. The only major building is the Tower at Cityplace, which is across Central Expressway.

The Tower at Cityplace (42 stories/560 ft)

agreed its rather short compared to a major downtown, but it has many more low/mid/high rise buildings than Midtown Houston, which was what i was getting at when i said "skyscrapers".
