damn you...took my city! Just joking. You saved me some trouble ;)

gotta love it. 10/10

love pittsburg!!!!!!!!

8/10:D

this is a skyline that just works. the rivers, the hills, the bridges, the goddamn buildings. it's not quite in NYC or HK leagues in terms of size, but what it's got works beautifully with its geography. it also helps that its tallest, USX, is one of my absolute favorites of all time, anwhere.

pittsburgh is a textbook example of how you don't need the absolute biggest skyline in the world to be amazingly beautiful.

8/10

pittsburg, quite nice city......there r soooo many bridge crossing into downtown ya:?

Absolutely love the density. It's a total mish-mash of buildings in the CBD. 8/10

absolutely wonderful, one of the best american skylines i cant help but love it 8/10

yeah, there are quite a bit of bridges.

At first sight, the city's skyline looks as if it belonged to a city of a much larger population! Pittsburgh is one hell of a city! And its skyline isn't too bad ;) 8.0/10!

9/10. This skyline is well balanced. It combines a nice mix of old and new, flat and gloss, different colors, and different heights, roof and pinnacle types, and other things. The hill behind it, river, and bridges give it not only variety, but balance. Definately an emerald city look to it. A dense little cluster of buildings is what this is, not spread out at all. The PPG place tower just adds so much to this skyline, like it was built just for a skyline. This is what a city should look like, your stereotypical view of a nice, and nice looking American city.

Addition: For a city of this size, and this many buildings, instead of the buildings being all spread out, and a bunch of low rises here and there, they build just a few tall ones, which looks so much better. Other cities, take note!

This skyline is one of my favorite in the country - one of the best clusters of towers around! 8.5/10

Good density, diversity of structures. All the bridges are cool too. I like this one! ->8.5/10

old+new=nice
5+5=10

Nice, dense skyline. The tallest building and PPG really make me take some points away though. It kinda ruins it for me. I see 2 fugly towers and 2 great towers. All in all, it is a dense skyline on a waterfront. I'll give ya some points! :)

Pittsburgh is one of my favorite cities in the Eastern USA.
It's such a pretty setting with a very impressive skyline.
I give it an 8.5/10.
Truly a gem that more Americans need to know about.

Nice and compact. Quite a nice setting as well.

PPG is UGLY!?!?!


thats ok I respect your opinion...:)

I really like it 8.5/10!

i dont rate skylines so much on height as on diversity so i cant but help agree more about the old and new mixtures, it looks great. this is the sort of city i love, one with character and a real blend and its geographical location just adds to the appeal more. 8.5 from me.

8. better than most US skylines that are dominated by boxes

I say! A bit small, but nice & compact, wonderful variety! 7.5

some buildings arent too tall. mostly boxy but nice greenery, bridges, location. so generally pittsburgh is beautiful. more charming than l.a. IMO. 8.5

Perhaps a bit of bias here... but I give it a 10. It's my favorite skyline... I can never tire of looking at it. Has a few wonderful skyscrapers... such as the gothic PPG Place. And it has great density. The location of this city is truly special. The point, the rivers, the hills, the trees. It's breathtaking.

That pretty much sums it up for me. It's simply a gorgeous cityn and I just realized it, looking at those images. Just like San Francisco, Vancouver, Seattle, Hong Kong, and Rio, it works because of the surrounding terrain. The skyline would be a boring cluster of buildings in a northeastern state, if not for the riparian influence. Im loving the river banks and and the multiple bridges criss-crossing it. The first image reminds me of some sort of skyscraper heaven, where the good skyscrapers go, with the rainbow and misty atmosphere. Wow, I really am impressed. 10/10 without a doubt.

if i can vote again i'd give this a 9.5 or even a 10/10. too bad once we voted we cannot change our minds. :) i find it really attractive (see the first pic)

Nice it has its own style, nice city.

8.5/10

I like the skyline. The skyscraper with raised corners(to the left of the picture posted by herodotus) is very unusual, and looks good on the skyline :)

It's one of the only tens I've ever handed out, along with Hong Kong, NYC, and Chicago. Anyway, if my picture host ever decides to work properly, I'll have buttloads of PGH photos to put up! Yay!

Love Pitt's skyline and now that I live in Cincy, I hope to get there.

8.5/10

Beautiful! Cincy's big brother with all the hills and bridges!

nice looking skyline

8,5/10 :)

An often-overlooked gem. Dense and diverse, and the riverfront setting/bridges and surrounding hills respectively frame the skyline and give it a backdrop like few other cityscapes.

The first time I viewed it in person, I was literally blown away -- I guess I just wasn't prepared to expect something so stunning.

8.5/10.

I LOVE pittsburgh. Its the most awesome mix ive seen yet. 9/10. I cant beleive its losing population..crazy.

This city really grabs you, and the more you look at it, the more you love it. It's quite an eclectic mix. To top it off, the view from Mt. Washington of the city was rated as the 2nd best view in the country by USA Today--that speaks volumes. 10/10

cool skyline, 7.5

Dense skyline with some nice scrapers !!
9/10

Awesome! Love the density downtown. I'll have to rate it a 8.5.

My wife and I took a weekend trip to the Pitt, and we were floored at just how nice of a skyline it really is.... keep in mind that Pitt has a population of only 350,000! The downtown is in a vally, so you can actully take an incline up to any of the surrounding hills and be eye level with the skyline! Great stuff!

For its size, I give it a 10.

Most people don't know Pittsburgh has a population of under 400,000. The skyscrapers make it look like a huge city. In D.C. we are the 7th largest city in the U.S. with almost 600,000 people in the city and 5 million if you include the metropolitan area but people think were a small town since we have no scrapers. It's kind of funny actually. Anyways Pittsburgh has transformed from a industrial steal city to a really nice modern city.

PGH has a nice skyline. The PPG Building is one of my favorites (thats the one with the castle-like top).

Yeah, the skyline of Pittsburgh is magnificent, one of the most underated. I've been there and was amazed. I wasn't expecting a New York, nor a Chicago, but for quite a small population, it's downtown is larger in comparison to cities with similar population. Better than Philadelphia in my own opinion.

Its like a mini-Manhattan. Am I the only person who sees it like that?

Awesome skyline. I've always liked the PPG bldg. Love the rivers, the hills, the bridges. This is what St.Paul could look like with a few more additions. Probably my favorite of all US cities behind Chicago. Can't remember what they call the area where the 3 rivers converge? Golden Triangle I believe. 10/10

Beautiful skyline, I'm a huge Steeler's fan, and I can tell you it's one of the most beautiful cities in America. I give it a 10/10.

so dense and I like its location 9/10

Gorgeous city. The newly renovated North Shore where I live has really developed nicely. Hopefully we'll get a few large resedential towers downtown someday.....It looks nice, but a lot of work needs to be done to make it vibrant once again.

Who are these people that always vote 3 or less on a skyline that doesnt deserve less then a 8. I give it a 9.

WoW! What a fantastic and completely unexpected skyline. 9/10 :okay:

I've always liked Pittsburgh's skyline, I think it is very underrated - 8

sweet city... watched it go from a dump in the 80's to the awesome current Downtown... 8.5/10

great city, 8.5

Beautiful skyline, if (when) the city of Pittsburgh merges to form a larger city. This is a good skyline for a big city. Haven't you heard that Pittsburgh's population is dropping a lot and is going to merge with another county. Like LOUISVILLE did!!

3/10 its so plain and needs taller skyscrapers can everyone who posted please email me:jrog042003@yahoo.com pleasee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

one of the most underated skylines period.... 9/10

Descent looking skyline. :)

This city has some cool looking buildings and nice variation. I give it an 8/10.

adelaide in australia could take some tips from this terrific and iconic skyline

Small city but big skyline,Impressing.

Pittsburgh has a fantastic skyline. 9.0.

Is it an exciting place to live/visit?

8.5 If you've never been to Pittsburgh, be sure and enter the city from the west through the tunnel under the hill to the Pitt bridge. The city literally explodes in front of you as you come out of the tunnel.

Yuck!!!!!!

Yuck? Henry Hobson Richardson, Phillip Johnson, SOM, the US Steel Building, George B. Post, D. H. Burnham, Henry Hornbostel, incomparable bridges and North America's most compact downtown after Boston, Montreal and NYC?

Are you mad or just sleeping off a fun night?

Great skyline. 7 / 10

This city is setup very nicely. I love the bridges, the point. Just a beautiful city...9.5/10

http://zaceman.com/LJ/pittsburgh/skyline.jpg

It just pops right out of the hills. If this city had a coast it would look like Seattle. Its almost exactly how a city should be built. 10/10 for sure

Great skyline, especially at night. I give it a 7.5/10.

Great heightage, and awesome density, not to mention surrounded by rivers galore, I give it a 9.5/10. Looks more like a mini-Boston or New York to me, and, indeed, looks like a much larger city than its city population says, but maybe right for its metro of over 2,000,000.

Absolutely perfect skyline for a nice size city. I'd prefer a city like this than a monstrous New York style town. The greenery in and around the city is beautiful.

Love Love Love Pittsburgh!!!

very nice 10/10

Good job Pittsburgh! :applause: 8.5/10. Good for a city that only 10-20 years ago had a reputation for a polluted environment and run-down industries.

This skyline is just so unique, dense, and beautiful. A winning trio.
10/10

I'm moving to Pittsburgh from Scottsdale, Arizona! It's very hot and dry here. Looking forward to the plethora of colors! :)

nice , 7,5

looks okay to me >>> 8.5

A beautiful combination of city and setting. May be the most attractive inland setting I've ever seen. In fact it's hard not to be jealous. I rate this city as high as San Fran, Seattle, and Boston, my other U.S. favs. 9.5
P.S. I loved its cameo in Inspector Gadget. That was the first time I realized that Pitt is much more impressive than the pictures I had seen let on.

Great skyline dense, compact. Also gotta love the setting

I like it many nice buildings.

Wow, much better than I expected, especially considering the look of the skylines of other struggling heavy industrial cities (Saint Louis, Cleveland, Detroit...)

9/10- very nice. i just realized that i made my main simcity 4's geography like pittsburg. congrats steelers!!!

Very nice. 8.5/10!!

Pittsburgh has always been one of my favorites. It has all the elements of a great skyline. I will visit her one day and enjoy what I'm sure is just a great little big town. 9.5/10

I like it too much 9.5/10

Not bad for a city its size, 8.5/10.

8.5/10

I love how Pittsburgh's downtown is dense, bold and brash -- very vibrant feel to its CBD on weekdays. (I love how the majority of outlying city there makes me feel like I've stepped into it during the 1930s -- fascinating experience....)

Cheers,
Chris

Ditto! Ditto! Ditto! and Ditto! to all the above!

pittsburgh was rated as the top USA city in terms of livability in the last survey. looks nice!

I gave Pittsburgh a 8.5. There is alot of great unique architecture but the biggest building doesn't stand out like it should. I love the scenery of nature around it and the density is great though. I reserve 10s for the best of the best (NY and Chi, ect.) so getting a 8.5 is really like a 9.5 from me.

this is a skyline that just works. the rivers, the hills, the bridges, the goddamn buildings. it's not quite in NYC or HK leagues in terms of size, but what it's got works beautifully with its geography. it also helps that its tallest, USX, is one of my absolute favorites of all time, anwhere.

Pittsburgh's skyline is amazing and it photographs very well.

I like it: 8 points

good variation, good views, only grudge I hold is against the massive black US Steel building..guess it serves its purpose though.

I love the pointy building, because every skyline needs at least one ominous building in it.

Gave it an 8/10. Love the setting of the city

I think of Pittsburgh's skyline as being in the same club as Minneapolis and Calgary in the sense that they are way better than the average person would expect, not just in terms of size but also in quality of buildings and how they work together.

Pittsburgh also has a fabulous setting.

I save my 10s for NY, Chicago, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Definitely one of the more underrated cities in the US.

a view of Pittsburgh's "second skyline"... in the neighborhood of Oakland... a couple miles east of Downtown... it's dominated by the 535 ft. neo-gothic Cathedral of Learning.. .the centerpiece of the University of Pittsburgh... a number of towers in the 10-20 story range cluster in that neighborhood

a very unusual view featuring the Oakland skyline on the left... and Downtown towers peaking over a hill to the right

Pittsburgh is looking great! I love the Cathedral of Learning and theres something about the US Steel building that I love.

I've always liked the Pittsburgh skyline, it compliments the beautiful natural setting of the city very well. I would love to explore Pittsburgh with my camera, some areas of the city seem almost hidden away in its hilly terrain. 8.5/10 for the Steel City.

Pittsburgh is a beautiful city. I love the "point".

Absolutely amazing! It's the ultimate skyline. Top 3 in the world.

Could you really ask for a better location? Looks like a slice of Lower Manhattan. Great skyline. 9/10.

8.5/10. Very nice compact skyline.

http://s005.radikal.ru/i210/1002/d1/32cb011c4a6c.jpg

If only those surrounding areas had taller buildings. It would have made for an amazingly stunning and dense skyline.
