NOTICE: This video showcases the top 50 of the world's best skylines. This list is an attempt to rank the impressiveness of city skylines. The score of a city is equal to the sum of all building heights (in m, without spires) after substraction of the minimum of 90m/295ft for each building. Freestanding towers (i.e. thin structures with no floors over most of their height) count for half their height.It measures a mix of height and breath of a skyline which seems to be honest as they are both important for the WOW! factor. Of course, people may think differently about their favorite skylines This years biggest surprise is Dubai is on #3, with Burj Dubai going up until it will reach a staggering 810 m. The Persian Gulf counries in general continue to boom, along with China and most the rest of asia, with too many cities to name. London and Moscow are are the strongest growers in Europe; Panama City in Latin America; Miami, Chicago and Las Vegas in the USA. The Freedom Tower in NYC finally began construction after a long delay.For more info. visit this link: http://homepages.ipact.nl/~egr... (more)

Crikey,this competition is rigged,Sydney has the best skyline.Oh we don't have any supertall buildings because we have an Airport nearby and we don't want some jet knocking over our buildings.We have the Opera house because it has curves like our women,one erectile tower and the Sydney Harbour Bridge which is the fattest bridge around and we don't waste electricity on extravagent lighting.We're at home in bed at night rooting our Sheilas instead.Just ask Kev,Hoges,Mel,Rusty,Eric,Elle,Nikki.etc.

Thanks 4 vid!If you are just talking skyscrapers & not the overall beauty of a cityAfter what I have seen over the last few years, NO WAY, (with or without the Twin Towers), is New York 2nd place, (been to NY and enjoyed it, by the way). The top 4 should have consisted of the few oriental cities shown in the video; China with two, alone. Though it is a personal opinion.I DO agree with Hong Kong being number one at this time, (brilliant vibrancy) & we hope to visit there some time.

CrazyLiam123 London always wanted to maintain the old grandeur and had a limit on construction of skyscrapers, in fear it would destroy the uniqueness of London city...However, it seems they are slowly, but surely having a change of heart...think it started with Canary Wharf, which is the main financial centre of Europe.

Democracy comes from Ancient Greece. Science comes from the Italian Renaissance.Language comes from London? Yeah, because everyone else in the world used hand signals before English came along.

I think Hong Kong could stand for that place at least ten or more years. Hong Kong has the best skyscraper and tall buildings, even medium salary apartments were design like a luxury condo.

Some people who thinks Chicago is better than Hong Kong,then those guys are fooled little kids!A skyline isn't all about height and width. Hong Kong have lights CHANGING every night, every second, and every time!What does Chicago have? Chicago only have office lights, with little neon lights on the spire ONLY.Hong Kong, a lot more advanced, and a lot more beautiful.If you really love Chicago's skyline and think is it colorful,you think yellow light is everything!Hong Kong uses more money.
