Name a city with a better skyline than Sao Paulo. I'll wait.

[Insensitive]

Los Angeles.
I'm biased tho.

I would put Panama City up there brehs, the financial district is crazy at night

Sao Paulo, that's mostly about the housing they build and have establishd as they don't really have residential single family homes with a front and back yard.

If anything America NEEDS more of these mega cities. Them Asian cities make NYC look like shyt.

Alot of these foreign cities don't build or never have built old school neighborhood-single family homes. Or they started off with them and tore them down and replaced them with denser high rises over the course of years. American cities, even NYC, will have the traditional neighborhoods as well the downtown-high density areas. Alot of cities don't have this type of single family home concept unless you drive way out to the outter suburbs

Mostly true. Jardins is an entire neighborhood of residential single family homes

Very suburban

Good post as I wondered about their residential area. I've actually been to Rio once and it was pretty much high density housing outside of the favelas which were in the hills above but when we taxied out to Barra for the day we found it to be very suburban and sort of Miami-ish

If we're going on the most aesthetically pleasing cities to view from a high altitude, then Barcelona takes that.

They show these up close in depth on the Netflix show "The Innocent". They look really immaculate from above

Lol at chicago being the goat in america

NYC' only competition is china in the skyscraper regard

but no city in the world combines iconic with architecture and cluster on NYC's level

Soon cities will be competing with Downtown Brooklyn and long island city. Both are the future of the new york skyline

he mad because people saying Chicago , y’all




The insecurity always rears its head with these people

That shyt looks like a bad sim city design

right now NYC is building like a young city that still has something to prove. There's about 10+ supertalls being planned or built as we speak. Brooklyn is building a scraper damn near the height of the empire state building, again..... as we speak

What is Chicago doing?

And who are "these people"

 

[Dillah810]

The best modern designed buildings from an architectural standpoint but overrated as a whole (been there a few times).

That's what I look for most in a skyline. The one other thing I consider is geography. For example, I like Pittsburg's skyline because of the rivers that surround it. Cincinnati's skyline looks good from certain angles due to the rivers and tall hills that surround it.

America will have more mega cities soon. Texas cities will be joining the NYC, LA, Chicago league eventually.

People thought that about Atlanta 10 years ago, but Atlanta's population rise is starting to taper off.

What are these?

I like London skyline the best

I like London's skyline too.

You sound like a goofy. Most of NYC is a wall of buildings, too. Like Sao Paulo.

Every architectural expert ranks the design of Chicago over NYC.

Granted, there are beautiful aspects of the NYC skyline. Central Park, Lower Manhattan. The Empire State adds dimension from Midtown. But overall, there is no structure to the NYC skyline. Just mass.

If you find a mass block of buildings appealing, well then yeah NYC beats Chicago.

nycs skyline is a growing entity, unlike Chicago's foreseeably stagnant one

The empire state building is no longer top dog in midtown. Nyc is building more modern marvels than Chicago, what Nyc is doing, construction-wise, is more interesting than chicago

downtown and midtown offer more angles and scapes than Chicago. Nyc has more iconic buildings than chicago.NYC has more supertalls than chicago

downtown Brooklyn and long island city is even more interesting than Chicago right now

Chicago has a neater profile, that's about it.We off that and so is the rest of the world
