I live in melbourne and i am absolutely inspired by the city the create drawings and buildings designs.

Anyway, i have heard and seen all around the place that in the future (2050?) Melbourne will have an astonishing amount of skyscrapers and will over take sydney as the largest city in australia.

DO you think that melbourne should have buildings taller than the Eureka Tower or should it stay the tallest?

Let ego and the market determine Melbourne's tallest. But yes, a fine skyline.

Melborne kind of shares the "financial capitol" thing with Sydney does'nt it? In the US it's New York and Chicago is a distant 2nd. Are there any large office projects planned for DT Melbourne? Where are the financial exchanges at?

I guess one could argue that Melbourne has looked forward and embraced modern and bold archiecture, because unlike Sydney with it's harbour, headlands and beaches... the Melbs landscape is otherwise a filthy river and quite a bland and flat landscape... I am not dissing Melbs because I love Melbs... but yeah comparing MEL to New York is kinda RIDIC is you ask me??!!
