Trying to get the appeal in Philly's skyline? Well, to each its own.

SF clips it for setting and the new tower, to me anyway |
Best Skylines in the World
1. NYC (easy) 2. Hong Kong 3. Chicago 4. Toronto 5. Shanghai 6. San Francisco 7. Moscow 8. LA 9. Dubai 10. Seattle |
Houston has some of the most BORING buildings ever. Not a fan of Dallas' either. I'd definitely put SF, Seattle, and Philadelphia over those two.
U.S. 1 - NY 2 - Chicago 3 - SF 4 - Philadelphia 5 - Seattle 6 - Miami 7 - LA 8 - Atlanta (not really a fan of how sparse it is, but if the gaps are filled in the next 50 years it could be spectacular) 9 - Houston 10 - Minneapolis I didn't put a great deal of thought into this, but this is my tentative order. |

Because I've only posted six of these lists on here before, and I think I need to post seven:
Top 10 USA skylines (USA skylines are all that matter... USA is all that matters... in fact, my opinion of USA skylines is all that matters): 1 - Pittsburgh 2 - Philadelphia 3 - Erie 4 - Harrisburg 5 - Reading 6 - Wilkes-Barre 7 - Scranton 8 - Lancaster 9 - Washington 10 - Allentown |
US only:
Chicago New York (best looking at night) Seattle Pittsburgh Houston (best when viewed facing west) Rest of the world: Hong Kong Moscow City La Defense, Paris Pudong, Shanghai City of London Dubai has some amazing buildings but they're all lined up along one street. Looks like someone was bored on Sim City and just plopped down a bunch of towers in a straight line. Same with Philly. Love the buildings but most lined up along Market St. |
How the skyline looks and feels as you are interacting with it is more important to me than the heights of all the buildings. Therefore here is my list from cities I have visited:
North America 1. Chicago 2. San Francisco 3. New York 4. Philadelphia 5. Seattle 6. Vancouver 7. San Diego 8. Los Angeles 9. Portland 10. St. Louis The world outside North America. 1. Sydney 2. Hong Kong 3. Melbourne 4. Kuala Lampur 5. Bangkok 6. Barcelona 7. Malmo 8. Shanghai 9. Paris 10. Dubai |

Best Skylines in the world:
NYC Hong Kong Shanghai Shenzhen Hmm, it gets a little harder from here on. Chicago, Dubai, Guangzhou and maybe Tokyo definitely deserve a spot but it's hard to rank them. I'd love to put Taipei but frankly it's just Taipei 101 that even gives it consideration. Though I know they're currently building several large ones nearby and that could give them a big boost. Then after that maybe Moscow, Kuala Lumper, Chongqing, and Seoul. And it just gets harder and harder after that. |
