Australian cities looks famous for theyre skylines , but this one needs to be more dense

10 :D

Why do Oz cities all seem to have great skylines, and in the good weather it looks even better.

I give Perth a good 7/10

I'm really liking that 6th pic! Great signature towers in this skyline. ->8.5/10

What Perth lacks in density, it more than makes up for it in height!
8.5/10!

I love perth, although not as big, but very well planned and proportioned, the skyline is literally perfect, 3 distict height levels, a focal piont, the 2 buildings really brings the skyline together.
9/10

very very nice city, although there r not much skyscrapers but still looks nice 8/10;)

Perths skyline proves you can do a lot with a few tall ones! ;)

Loses .5 for lack of depth!

7.5/10

nice pictures, wow, This one is a winner

9/10

height- 9
density- 5
towers- 9
layout- 9
home town biass- 10

=9

Looks nice! Not as good as Melbourne and Sydney though! Skyscrapers and sun always make a good city :)

though perths population is only 1.4million
sydney is 4.2 million and mel 3.6 million

Exactly!

What I like about Perth is its attractive skyscrapers. Most of them aren't the usual boxes you find in most cities. THey have a nice style.

8/10

Not as nice as Brisbane, but still much better than most cities its size. Makes a good effort. 7.5/10

beautiful city, cool skyscrapers,
but a little bit boring for me.

cos, There are no deep history, I think.

6/10

nice towers, but there rnt enough of em.

Perth's skyline is very impressive for its size. A fantastic-looking city! 8/10

-

Im glad to see that the buildings arent dull. It has good buildings that all stand out in there own way, even if they are not that tall.
I give it a 7.
It also looks great along the water front.

The sun, swan river, The beach, The night lifes, and my first girl friend, mmm...lovely Perth, bring me the good memory !!!:) :D :cool: :angel1: ......

Sorry, my vote is healthy 8/10.

Perth is a very beautiful city and the skyline is not crowd
I give it 8.5/10

Perth is built so that the skyline forms the triangle effect. Your eyes are led upward and to the center. Waiting for you in the center is two beautiful and different buildings. Perth's skyline offers a variety of scraper styles. 9/10.

even though I made a seperate thread for this pic, it's worth posting here since it shows the length of Perth's skyline. Perth's skyline has hardly any depth since the vast majority of buildings run along the one street, but from this angle she looks beautiful :)

Landscape and streetscape that blends so well
Few tallies would not go astray but right now an 8

Looks at it's best later in the day. Nice skyline for a city of only 1 million or so.

7.5/10.

I prefer Perth to Melbourne, in terms of both the skyline and the city itself.

8.5 for being so damn picturesque...

9/10. Amazing skyline!!!!
BTW, why there are so many users giving 3 or less in EVERY city???????

hi

perth is so beautiful, is very stylish too, but i think it needs alot of inmigrants in order to make it grow fastly, so it could at least have 2.5 million inhabitants, and i think the wester coast of australia needs more inmigrants

9/10

cheers

Nice and spacey, 7.5 from me.

8/10. Stylish and Modern!! A favourite!!

22 people voted 3 or less, but not one of them had the balls to post and say that they did :mad:

Major Projects
Icon Apartments - 130m (residential)
Emu Brewery 3 stages - 87m, 117m and 124m (residential)
City Square - 110m ( i think residential)

heres a diagram of perth with ICON (excluding emu brewery and City Square)

if it filled in with a little mid-sized tower density it would easily shoot up to 8.5

Love to be there one day soon. Looks very nice.

Yes, slowly but surely this skyline will be juuuuuuuust fine!

Heychrisaus, looks like a favourable response from our overseas mates.

I personally give it 8.5.
Remove the two tallies and it would be pretty small - but it must be rembered it's a young and isolated city and fights above it's weight division

The cityscape is quite stunning and will develop into one of the most beautiful skylines in the world over the next decade or two.

Perth and Brisbane are just starting to grow up!
We may be the little sisters to Melbourne and Sydney.
But we are young, fresh and cheaper

......perfect for a nice pair of cities!

10!

I give it 8.5 I lived there for 3 years the only problem with Perth is it need alot more bulk and street level is not very good.

view perth from the back of the city and there is nothing behind the line of towers

australian cities are so damned pretty!

Actually I find the street level in Perth and major suburbs are pretty 'neat'. All streets have underground power, nice footpaths paving + planting. Major streets like Hay St, Murray St have so many cafe, alfresco restaurants opening everywhere.
But I agree the skyline can be bulk up a bit.

Gorgeous skyline... Perth is the biggest village in the world, it looks like a metropolis but still feels like a country town. I love it!

renewing Perth pic, posted by Chrisaus: Perth currently ranked 177th in
unfortunately ramped skyline voting system, which has bunched ALL Australian cities - Sydney, Melb, Brisbane, Perth, Gold Coast etc - together at around that level.

Perth has more like 1.8 million. Whoever said there is "nothing" behind the skyline is so wrong - behind the skyline is the northern suburbs, the most densely populated area of the city, going back at least an hours drive of dense suburbs, as well as highways and railways, and don't forget Perth's nightlife district (despite the gang wars and prostitutes) - Northbridge!

^^
Where did you pull the 1.8 million people from? No stats I've ever heard of.

all that gang bullshit is just media hype. people catch the train at 2am in the morning and go unharmed. police patrol northbridge all night on fri/sat

That gang stuff is true; I saw all these Asians bashing the f*ck out of each other outside Metro City one night.

how long ago? these days gang warfare in perth is treated very seriously.

forgot to mention that these polls are fucked!

It was about 5 weeks ago. Melb has a bigger problem with gangs and underworld murders though.

it isnt really bad.

Brisbane gets that shit all the time... it is not really anyhting big. Im sure everywhere does.

it isnt like that crap going on in melbourne

full on media hype...... fist fights are fuckall, its when they start pulling out weapons u gotta get worried.

..

Not bad. Looks way better at night. 7.5/10

PERTH
http://www.the-engelberts.com/World_Trip/Australia/Perth/Perth_-_Yachting_-_Skyline.jpg

hey guys i'd just like to say that australian cities generaly have little apartment buildings in the city centers unlike many asian, american or european cities, but Perth especialy has none at all in the cbd where brisbane melbourne or sydney do have some making them look bigger and more dense .. personaly i think perth should be building more big buildings ..recently the woodisde buildings been built and the conention center .. altho thats beter than anything remember that perth is the 2nd fastest growing city and should have more buildings for the population it already has.. anyways i love the look of perth .. very uniqe

omg i made so many speling errors in that last reply .. ok the corrections - Woodside building ..* , Convention*, ' better than nothing'* , :)

cool skyline.. for its population.

3 million in 10 years....more than double your population in 3 years? Nope. :weirdo:

..

http://www.pbase.com/image/23316573/original.jpg

Yeah it'll reach 3 million. Already almost 2/3s of the way there. Mainly from all the migrants from England, NZ, South Africa etc.

Perth currently has just over 1.5 million by estimate, so in fact you are only about halfway there. It will take many many years even with generous growth rates to double the population and reach 3 million.

I gave it 8/10. I hate the Convention Centre. It looks like a giant shed.

Perth currently has just over 1.5 million by estimate, so in fact you are only about halfway there. It will take many many years even with generous growth rates to double the population and reach 3 million.

Stu
Forgive me if i'm wrong, but i'm pretty sure Perth's population isn't over 1.5 million. It's more like 1.43 million isn't it? I may be sounding trivial here sorry. Anyway, nice pics, like the height of Central Park 1 & Bank West.

Nice skyline. I wish Eindhoven had one like this.

9/10 need to get buildings off the terrace.

6 out of 10

W.A.'s population hit 2 million just a few weeks ago.

I guess the buildings are impressive, but there needs to be more density on that skyline! It has great potential, and beautiful surroundings! :)

I'll give it a good, hm...9! :)

I was wondering, does the city have any history? I mean, it is one of the most isolated cities in the world, so not much must have been going on there...Or is it? :D Anyway's...I would like to know more about the city...

Yeah it has a history, well its the hub of the whole western half of the country! I live here and still don't know much about it but there are heaps of shipwrecks and European expeditions and stuff, and that famous guy, Stirling I think? He landed and settled here, and then all the convicts from England came here. He chose the site for Perth and stuff but all the poms hated it here; since they were from England they hated the heat, the soil, the insects, everything. I'm not sure how many were here by choice (I think it was advertised in England as a luxurious new place to live, and when they got here it was completely different!) and yeah some were prisoners.

I went to the site of a ship landing, (it's also the site of a graveyard and churh) by the river, it's a beautiful place. There were plaques about the settlers in the 1800's, a few of them were killed by aboriginals.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help but I'm sure there is a rich history, if you ever come here just check out the maritime museum or something.

i did it this year in s n e , settled in 1829, first evidence of an explorer was Dirk Hartog in 1616 then in the 1690's and replaced the plate that dirk left on a tree, he took the original back to holland.

when it was settled it was offered in england, free land for people who came to Perth, the land they were given then would now be worth millions of dollars because of its location on the swan river.

8.0/10 - I've always had this fondness for Perth's skyline. The sheer number of buildings isn't necessarily there, but it demonstrates that Aussie genius for creating very memorable skylines so evident in the cases of Melbourne and Sydney. I love it.

I gave Perth a 9.5, Perth is my Favourite Skyline in Australia.

Quite a clustered skyline, but can do with more scrapers...

keep this baby alive

Perth rules!!! I visited there last September while staying in Fremantle.

Very clean & friendly with a spectacular skyline. :banana2:

Oh yes, and I give it a 10. :)

7.5. Definately a nice skyline. Could use some residential though. Reminds me a bit of Houston, except that Perth has a better gradual increase in building height, as seen in the pano by Perthwa.

8/10. Nice skyline but needs more density ;)

Perth's got a great skyline to it, but it needs more filler towers. I give it an 8/10.

Perth is my favourite Australian City. A nice 8/10.

I like Perth.

10/10

7.5. Definately a nice skyline. Could use some residential though. Reminds me a bit of Houston, except that Perth has a better gradual increase in building height, as seen in the pano by Perthwa.

Well the good news is we have a 207m tower resi and a 197m tower resi on the way. A 100m resi planned and alot of redevelopments that will extend and add new dimension to the skyline.

We also have 7 skyscrapers ranging from 40-80m going up east of the river. So we have alot of development to come.

Swan Pano towers approved by the PCC. Sorry about the picture.

http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/5628/2354x50017lu.jpg

We also have a 130m office tower planed for next to Central Park.

Perth's skyline is second rate. I vote 3 or below.

Little fake in the sense that all the photos resemble a long quite impressive skyline with a nice setting, but Perth lacks hugely in density ( I found Adelaide more urban, yes it lacks height but it is dense and is more than simply a few streets wide). Perth is also quite a small city, it actually struck me by surprise how small it really was. Its kind of one long main street or rougly 2 city blocks in width, other than that there isn't much else skyline wise in Perth.

6 is my vote....

omg i hope them swan pano towers dont get built they are horrible!

i lived in perth for years and i love it but mic what you say is exactly correct!

9/10

Perth's skyline lacks density and is a little boring for me - 6.5

amazing skyline 9.5
Peace:)

Sorry to all the Perth Boosters, but 2 nice tall buildings do not constitute a great skyline for me. If anything, they just show the lack of height and gaps in the rest of the skyline. For me Australia's 5th skyline, behind Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and a rapidly improving Gold Coast. 6.5

its pretty dense when you think about it fitting around about 100 skyscrapers onto one or two streets.

and its not rate how dense the city is, its rate a skyline and in the dictionary skyline means >> outline of hills, buildings, etc. against the sky, the visible horizon.

Density has alot to do with it. I voted on this ages ago, can't remember what i gave it, i would say an 8.

8/10

9.5/10 This skyline just works!

8.5/10

its nice...wish it had more depth/density to it tho...6.5/10

It needs some more density, but still is good.

my contribution to the thread.

Oh and on the earlier debate, Perth has around 1.65m people, but I've seen figures used by Government agencies of up to 1.71m. the 1.43m figure, which actually comes from a census 5 years ago, excludes key southern, eastern and northern metropolitan areas which are contiguous and continuous. To separate them you'd literally have to draw lines between houses and say "This is this city, this is that town". What also confuses things is that Perth local councils use "City of..." as if they are in fact a separate city rather than an LCA.

The confusion between marking Brisbane or Perth as the 3rd largest Australian city comes from Brisbane being a bigger city, but Perth having a bigger metro. Also, in Brisbane's case, the Gold Coast and much of the Sunshine Coast are not contiguous to the Brisbane metropolitan area, so are deemed separate centres.

7/10

8/10- there should be a few more skyscrapers and they should be a little more cramped together.

There is no confusion, Brisbane is clearly bigger than Perth as a whole.

9/10 !
surely 9.5/10 in the near future !

8.5/10 :D

compare to other major cities in Australia, Perth skyline is not as big as others but still I like it :)

8/10. lets bring this back to life.

9,5/10

good pyramid shape that forms downtown, that comes with good city planning.

8.5/10

nice but not as special as the other Australian skylines...

Eeehhh smallish for an Australian city of it's magnitude.
7/10

Perth is a small australian city. Has a large commercial skyline for our size. Alot larger than brisbane going on commercial towers. Brisbane has a far lager inner city population. The good news is perth has as many if not more apartments approved/ proposed /UC than any other australian city. Inner city living and urban lifestlyes have taken hold.

Amazing skyline.10/10

This city makes me proud when driving into it on the Kwinana Freeway across the river. The city just jumping out at you, with that, the Swan River, and Kings Park, Perth is the best!!!! 10/10! :)

Aussie Aussie Aussie!! Oi Oi Oi!!! (thought I might add that :))

8/10

nice skyline for a city of its size

Western Australia facts:
Capital: PERTH
Population: 2 million
Perth pop: 1.6 million
Size: almost the size of Europe, 1/3 Australia
Economy: The largest in Australia (25%)
Biggest Trade Partner: China

Last quarter Western Australias economy had a larger growth than China.
China +10.3%
WA +10.6%

:)

Economy: The largest in Australia (25%)


The WA GSP is about $100b, Behind NSW, VIC and QLD.

7.5 out of 10 - Not the best skyline in Australia but it's not the worst either!

I give it 8/10, and Perth is a medium city!

a very nice little city with some nice skyscrapers, the weather a plus tho 7.5/10

8/10

Deserves an 8/10, great looking skyline

Loks great

9.5/10

8/10. although a small skyline it is still good looking. there are many places to take a good picture of the skyline.

Gave it an "8"

I like it much better than Brisbane's skyline, looks kinda futuristic. The BankWest and other tall building (can't remember it's name) really make this skyline, and they both look terrific; nice height and interesting modern designs. Just not enough tall buildings, but for a city this size, it looks good.

Looks good, needs a few more buildings to fill some empty space 7.5/10

7.5/10

should get better in the future with the economic growth there

I'm really suprised that Perth has hardly any developments over 150 metres.

Fact at the moment house prices in Perth are around the same as Sydney's. All this because of the population boom, minerals boom etc.

Most expensive house in Australia is in Perth selling for 85 million AUD

My Vision of a future Perth made in paint:

Yeah, but I said over 150 metres, you only mentioned 1 proposal there. That will have a great impact (not)

I give it 8.5 need some height, the sharp tower look nice

perth is what number in terms of pop. in australia?

4th. (Behind Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane).

A good-looking city. 9/10 (My 3rd favourite skyline in Aussie after Gold Coast and Sydney).

I think Perth has around 1.5 million, but growing extremley fast (Australian standards)

when can perth become a mega city like sydney etc.

when it does 10/10

They say perth is to grow to 2 million in the next 20 years, thats pretty good for the most isolated city in the world.

^^
Just to add to that comment, isn't it the most isolated city of over 1 million in the world? There are possibly more isolated cities with less than that 1 million around.

9/10..:D

true.. Perth is the most isolated city in terms of distance to the nearest city with a similar size.
Some say Honolulu is more isolated though it has a population of only about 350,000.

^^
Having visited Honolulu, it feels bigger than 350,000 IMO.

The Metropolitan of Honolulu has 900,000 people.

I fell in love with this Skyline: 10/10

Home is where the heart is. Too bad about the annoying boom-bust economy that scares off new projects. 8.5.

I took a long time to vote, I don't know why... :crazy:

Perth is an example of an Ideal skyline, with a beautiful park, tall skyscrapers (not crowded), a highway passing trough. It looks too organized.

9.5/10

7 for skyline
9 for setting - beautiful swan river and botanical gardens

Nice 8/10
