I was surprised when i didn't see Sao Paulo in the top ten list for most buildings and when i searched for it on skyscraperpage.com i got this ( http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?10=2 ) 306 buildings I can see much more then that from my grandmas house there!
Emporis lists 5,453 buildings and 556 U/C which is correct ( http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/ci/bu/sk/?id=101076 )
Sao Paulo probably had more then 306 buildings in 1947 let alone 2008 - Look at the pictures from that date: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=161713
*(I sent a email early 2008 requesting a change in the Sao Paulo building count but nothing happened) |
stop being foolish. Emporis building count is also incredibly wrong. São Paulo has over 40 thousand buildings over 12 floors, according to a list SSC forumer Cello got from a friend who works in the City Hall.
But you must remember that NEITHER Emporis nor SSP can have the correct lists JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT. Compiling such lists is an incredibly hard work. Do you think that just because you sent an email to SSP, the SSP owner (who maintains the forum in his spare time) will hire like 50 different people to go to São Paulo and compile a complete list??
Both SSP and Emporis lists depends on CONTRIBUTORS! Emporis has about 5 brazilian editors, thats why they were able to compile a list of 5 thousand buildings. If you want both lists to grow, HELP them grow by working on compiling such lists.
