    Please note before placing a comment:
    This list is my personal preference of the world's best skylines. Because of both big differences between cities and an absence of general requirements that a 'good' skyline has to meet, the determination whether a skyline belongs to the best 15 in the world or not, differs from person to person and is therefore subjective.
    Although the movie states that HK belongs to China, HK is in fact a special administrative region (Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China).
    #1 Hong Kong
    #2 New York City
    #3 Shanghai
    #4 Chicago
    #5 Dubai
    #6 Tokyo
    #7 Toronto
    #8 Singapore
    #9 Kuala Lumpur

    Chicago by far has the best skyline. Show me a city that has beaches in front of downtown, with World class museums, and parks. The Chicago architecture is World class. Oh by the way, the skyscraper was born in Chicago.

      Dr RBO um, beaches also beautify up a skyline. Cities with no large body of water and beaches just don't look as splendid as cities that do have them, and the only reason Hong Kong got #1 was because the skyline rating was based on number of skyscrapers, not actual beauty, and Hong Kong has the most skyscrapers. I don't mean to say that Hong Kong isn't nice, it's beautiful, but that's not the reason it got #1.

    For a person who went to college for architecture Chicago and New York should be higher in the rankings. #1, #2? Why? Because they show a diversity of architectural design and height over the past 100 plus years. Other cities, not bounded by height restrictions, only reflect new high rises within the past 15 years.

      JomaCam It depends on your preference. Some people like it monotone: Greys, Blacks, Whites. While others like colors: (self explanatory)
      I, personally, like the New York and Chicago Skyline. New York's Skyline is beautiful because they have now the One World Trade Center.
      I feel that cities shouldn't have a ton of colors, because I'm a Futurist. But there is an amazing future 'skyline'. Type Future San Francisco Star Trek in Google. The skyline is breathtaking.

    Shanghai and Chicago are very beautiful. In my personal opinion I would have Shanghai second, Chicago third, and New York fourth. I personally think that New York's skyline does not look very modern, and the buildings are so tightly packed together that it looks like a mess. I know New York has the Chrysler Building and whatever, but Shanghai and Chicago have very easily identifiable skylines that makes them so much better. Great Video tho.

      @alexg7705 Před 6 lety +3

      naz de woah are you wrong! Chicago's not even on the top 10 most murderous cities in the US, so how is it going to be the most murderous city in the world when there are worst cities like Mexico City and Rio De Janeiro? Plus, what does that have to do with Chicago having the oldest skyline? Chicago is on the list of top 3 safest cities in America. It's not that bad, let me explain. First off, the numbers are big because the city is big, but there are over a dozen big cities with higher per capita murder rates, including St. Louis, Cleveland, and Detroit. Chicago's violence is pretty contained to a few areas, and that violence is mostly gang-on-gang or people who are in the immediate vicinity of gang members. So the gun violence isn't really an issue for much of the city's population
      Because Chicago has so many people, it can get a murder every day, and that gets people’s attention, but when you focus on numbers, not rates, Chicago ends up looking worse because you forget just how big the city it is. Chicago is 10,857 square miles big and has 9.5 million residents. It stretches from Wisconsin to Indiana. That's huge. The violence is contained to a few poor neighborhoods in the far southwest part of the city. Most deaths are from gang members or family members of those gang members, which is "good" i guess, because as long as you don't join a gang, or make the poor choice of living in one of the poor neighborhoods, (which there are few of), you're fine. The only category that is actually significant enough to be recognized is gang-related crime, which is actually good news for most residents as gangs don't usually leave their territories. So you see, when you look at just numbers, and don't investigate, Chicago ends up looking bad, but if you do investigate, you'll see how Chicago is nowhere near as bad as people sought it out to be, and I know this from experience, as in my 25 years in Chicago, I've lived in almost every part of the city.

  • @bocamax
    @bocamax Před 9 lety +4

    Pretty interesting list. You must travel like I do because most people overlook cities like Bangkok. For me, Hong Kong is #1, Singapore #2. I find Chicago's skyline & architectural style far more appealing than New York's. I'd put Atlanta before New York. Shanghai has a number of new stunning hi-rises since you released this video in 2012. Interesting no European cities made the list, not that they should. Once you visit Asia & return to the states everything looks so dated in America.

      That is just your opinion ... Bcoz Singapore has only one skyline side is Marina bay, you can proof from every skyline of Sinapore you will see only 1 point... The city quite small and not many hight buildings like HK, Shanghai , Guangzhou , Bangkok, Tokyo
      But the good thing of Sinapore is a city so clean .. They grow plant beside the road .. Make city looks fresh on the ground

    • @bocamax
      @bocamax Před 9 lety +1

      It's true Singapore has a limited skyline. But an amazing one. Far more stunning than almost any American city, better than mega cities like Tokyo, Mexico City, Sao Paulo, etc.
      Clearly a city needs to have a few million residents to compete. But I'd take Vancouvers skyline over Mexico City (which dwarfs it by population).
      For me, it's not a who has bigger metro. It's who is more classy, stylistic, unique, artistic, clean, safe, and cultural. For me, while I love Seattle's approach, especially as they destroy that horrible waterfront road (with tunnels), I still appreciate & respect Chicago & Atlanta's skylines over anything in New York. New York takes a decade to put up a few skyscrapers & the media goes nuts. Guess they haven't been to Bangkok or Shanghai lately. What takes a decade in NYC happens monthly in Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Bangkok.
      And cities like LA have no personality or identity. It's just a bunch of buildings built on sand. Mostly 1-4 story buildings. Even the beach is comical. Compare LA to Miami. Of course Miami has way better sand, a way better beach, and a lot more personality. But just visually compare it. LA is low rise, industrial, dirty, brown (as in sand vs grass/trees), and unimaginative. It sucks. Concrete jungle.
      I have to laugh when LA elites mock the "fly over states" because I've been to most of those states and they are a hell of a lot nicer than LA, and well under 50% the cost of living, often 25% the cost of LA.
      So for me, Singapore is high on my list because it's clean, unique, waterfront, and ambitious. But places like Dubai & Vegas are not on my list. Dubai like Vegas just has "developments" that gain international acclaim. But just look 2 blocks away and your are looking at sand, dirt, and 120F temps. Vegas was so proud when they knocked off the Singapore Flyer as the largest ferris wheel in the world. I've been on the SF and it's incredible. Waterfront. Amazing views. Or you could go on Vegas' Hi-Roller & look at parking lots & sand. So what if you are slightly bigger? That does not make you better or even remotely close to as good as the Singapore Flyer.
      To me, Dubai isn't even in the ballpark of cities like Singapore, Chicago, Bangkok, Atlanta, Miami, or even New York and Shanghai. And Shanghai is a semi-myth at this point. You have a stunning financial district that probably tops any major metro district in the States. But then there is the rest of the metro which leaves much to be desired. Services, traffic, housing quality, pollution, population density, education, etc.
      As for Macau, the gaming city with 6x the revenue of Vegas, which boasts the a per capital income almost double of that in the States, it's just another Vegas or Orlando. A worthless city. Filled with multi billion dollar casinos & no personality. The majority of residents live in ridiculously condensed hi rises, and yet travel magazines call it paradise. Obviously these Dubai, Macau, Vegas, and Orlando types are corporate travelers with a minimal world view. People who get travel ideas from the magazine provided by the airline on their flight.
      For me, I'll take style, friendly locals, architectural variety, culture / history, personality, safety, and cleanliness over corporate chain hotels, restaurants, and marketing slogans.
      Each of us has our own opinion. But for those of us who travel extensively and walk the streets of these towns, meet the people, explore the culture, I think the consensus even among Americans is that the most density of culture is in Europe & Asia. The historical beauty is in Europe and to a lesser extent SE Asia. And the new stunning cities are almost exclusively in SE Asia.
      After spending a month in Seoul, Hanoi, and Bangkok, I came back to spend a week in Philly & New York City. Two legendary American cities. And it left me depressed. We aren't even competitive. Old vs new. The aggressive vs the regulated. It's not just the buildings, it's the people. We've become lax & lazy while Asia is ambitious & hungry. And the trend is accelerating. And I've been to Hanoi, Seoul, Tokyo, Ho Chi Mihn City, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Bali, to name a few. I've also been to all but 4 USA states. In the last year I've been to Chicago, Philly, NYC, LA, Seattle, Atlanta, Orlando, Miami, Detroit, and Cincy. So I think I have a pretty current view on world affairs as seen through my own eyes.
      So whatever your opinion, I find it hard to find fault with Singapore. It may lack a little in personality but it's far cleaner, safer, and friendlier than any city I have ever visited in the States with over 1,000,000 residents.

    The best natural skyline in the world is Chicago. What an aesthetically pleasing city! New York has too many brown buildings. Dubai is artificial. Of course Hong Kong is the best synthetic skyline out there but who could beat the natural charm of Chicago. I also like Houston and Dallas Skylines too along with their highway and road networks.

      Keep in mind that New York has twice the population of Chicago in roughly only 100 square miles more than the city limits of Chicago. New York is a much older city and the concentration of skyscrapers is much greater since Manhattan is an island and they build up! Yes, Chicago's is better situated in profile and it's noticeably newer in look compared to New York City.

You also might want to think about visiting your local optometrist because the skyline has totally changed. There is no city that comes even close to Toronto in North America when it comes to growth. There are currently 124 cranes in Toronto, Seattle is a distant second with 43.
