well you would be wrong. look at my very first post.
tokyo has more skyscrapers above 400 ft than chicago.
i am sure you think chicago should be in the poll. Correct?
also, the reason why i say 400ft is because most people/magzines that rank skylines/websties, etc consider buildings under 400 ft to be a non factor

I see. It seems that Tokyo is much more diffuse than any of the cities on this poll.

^ their tallest building is 814 ft. so, none of their buildings really have a lot of height, but its really dense.

Tokyo shouldn't be on that list. I think both Seattle and Vancouver have nicer skylines than Tokyo. But from your list, HK wins hands down.

Shanghai most likely has a great many more buildings over 400 feet at this point.
