That's like saying I wonder what Chicago would look like without the Sears Tower. Yeah, it would look a lot different!

i like the toronto skyline (and the city of toronto in general)...if i was going to NA, toronto would be one of the first places i would visit. 8/10

Best skyline in Canada!! 8.5/10!!

it looks good at night. wow. Toronto with the CN Tower is awsome.10/10

This was my favorite skyline long ago before I saw all angles - but due to it's jawdropping CN Tower and it's dense CBD it earns a 9/10.............

The TO city center is real compact yet extremely urban. I like that. That alone gives it a 8/10, but the CN tower add's one point to that. :)

toronto is currently a 9/10

however, with the vast amount amount of tall buildings on the horizon, it could be moving to 10 status by the end of the decade. toronto, in terms of its skyline, has just about everything you need (and the incredibly iconic CN tower really vaults this one above some of the other NA players), except it's a bit lacking in height. that will be changing though.

currently: 9/10
future: 10/10

Toronto's skyline will be incredible once Trump, Cityplace, etc. are built.

Pro: Good density and height.

Con: Too boxy.

Overall: 8.0/10

I actually like the early modern look of midtown...some very fine examples, as this was a desireble apartment living area of the day. Some nice 20's and 30's apartment buildings as well.



KGB

these pics are really nice...
nice skyline, but not to alls taste

canada's skyscrapers is very different from it's asian counterparts. most of the buildings are rectangular (boxy)
therefore each building is not easy to recognize 'coz most of them are almost with the same look and shape.... very simple.
however the city as a whole is beautiful, especially at night...a typical american skyline................

I give Toronto a 9/10.
It's got great height, plenty of density. I think it's one of the
better skylines after the big 3.

its got enough height, and good placement, but i think the buildings are a bit boring

8

8/10 :cool:

7/10 quite a nice city;)

9/10
its the best one i ever seen with my own eyes.

Boxes...Boxes...Boxes...and an Arrow among them...Very common skyline...:(

Honestly, I'd have given it an 8, but Builder made this one personal. 0/10. Sorry guys, I really like Toronto but somebody better put Builder back on a leash.

I used to like Toronto but what Builder said for Istanbul is pretty mean.

1/10

Seems like I am not the only one!

Hey, no need to get so ugly, I think when you look at the following pic he has a point:

http://www.ensc.sfu.ca/coop/stories/Toronto.jpg

And he mentioned an arrow as the CN Tower, can you read? Let's not get so rude here.

Toronto has the best skyline and it has the most skyscrapers city in Canada
I will vote for 10/10 definitely

<table cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width=98% class="quoteBox">
<td align=left valign=center> <smallfont> <b>Quote</B> <I>originally posted by DaninTO </i></b> </smallfont> </td>
<tr><td align=left valign=top>Its funny how no one ever mentions Houston, san francisco, dallas and countless other cities who's skyline is full of boxes. They think because they have one building that doesn't look like one it makes them spectacular. If I were to give 1/10 to every city that had a forumer that spoke out against dumb comments, then not one city on this board would get anything but that. That includes Melbourne and Chicago.</td></tr>
</table>

LOL well said.

after all isn't the "box" or "rectangle" the primary shape of more than 90% of the world's skyscrapers ?

it's a real A-DUH thing to say a city is full of boxes, so generalised, and so "UMMM DER - no shit sherlock!".

nevertheless, even though this is still quite generalised, a better way of describing Toronto's take on the skyscraper box that's guaranteed to pop up in many many MANY cities around the world, is Toronto has a lot of prominant Internationalist slabs (cant think of the proper way to describe it, that's just a local Aussie term, which is probably also used elsewhere).

Scotia Plaza is a classic modern errr for lack of a better word, "box" - it's a warped rectangle with vertical steps and extra features (the upside down triangle indentation up the top), like so many of the 80's / 90's scrapers here in Melbourne, the primary shape is of a rectangle, but with lots of extra "add-ons" or "features" per say.

anyhow, I've ranted in a agreement with you enough (also was an attempt to spark an intelligent conversation in the hope that no other moron blindly names Toronto - box city or some other profanity).

...well that's just how I look upon so many skyscrapers globally!

cheers!

tays

Personally, I agree with the observation that Toronto's skyline is too boxy... especially when you compare it to the gold standards, NY and Chicago. I hope that the Trump tower will add a bit of variety with its spire.

If it's boxy so what; it's still a pretty damn good skyline. Not a 10/10 but certainly NOT a 1/10.
I don't really understand the hatred towards Toronto from everywhere. We have Ottawa, where people will beat you up if you have a Leafs jersey on! Then we have Western Canada who hate us because of..well I don't really know! And who could forget Montreal, which have been our rivals since the beggining the creation of Canada! Welcome to the list Skyscraper forumers; you are officailly ranked forth!
Boxy? Is that why you gave it a 1/10? Man if it's that bad give Detroit a -100/10. But seriuosly on a good note T.O doesn't deserve a 1/10 in my honest to god opinion! ;)

:bash:

8.5/10

Maybe a 9.5, if the build that 1,000 ft.

9.5 :cool: I love that dense area by CN Tower.

I love Tayser's shots of Toronto! ---> 9.0

Nice conservative, stylish office buildings. Downtown pretty dense too.

Not a huge fan of observation towers (CN or Sydney's Centrepoint either), so 9.

I absolutely love Toronto's skyline. One of the best the world has to offer in my opinion.

Wow, Im pretty surprised. I wasn't expecting so many 9/10s. But then I remembered this isn't SSP.com, people seem to be more optimistic/open. Doesn't really seem to be any trolls here either. Well run.

For me...8.5/10. I think it's definetely one of the best in the world. I think the boxiness if focused on far too much - look at any city in NA and you'll find tons of boxes (LA, Houston, etc.). I also find it odd when people say "Take out the CN Tower and SkyDome and it's nothing special.". That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. You could say that about any city in the world in regards to their landmark buildings.

Anyways, with all the projects on the horizon and currently U/C (esp. CityPlace) I think Toronto's skyline will be changing more dramatically than any city in NA over the next 10 years. Should be incredible.

Canada's best, 9.5/10

http://www.thecrossways.com/1.jpg

I don't think any city deserves a 1/10.

One of my favorite NA skylines. Although, without CN and the Skydome it would be only average.

9.......Man I love this city. One of the better skylines of the world in my opinion:cool: :D

Unique skyline unlike any other. The skydome next to the CN tower is really cool. Dense too. 9/10.

Impressive density and height. But the buildings are too bland. Boxes Boxes Boxes. Not very attractive to look at. And I'm not a fan of things like the CN Tower. 6/10 Still a fantastic city though.

Come on, folks. The subject here is Toronto's skyline, which is a given. People are judging by the photos presented at the beginning of the thread. This is not about the price of a cuppa on another continent, nor about conceivable needed or unneede facelifts. :)

Toronto is one of the most disappointing cities for me.
As for skyline, Vancouver and Montreal are much more impressive.
Toronto has just a few of uninteresting scrapers !You'd better not confuse Toronto with Chicago ! 6/10 at best:D

oh... Toronto:love:... have no words, one of my favorites! 9.5

Lovely. 8,5. Only a little boxy.

Toronto looks a nice city life in.

Uhmmm no :(

I'm sorry but nothing more than 3/10

one of my fav north american skylines 9/10

Here is a pic of how Toronto's skyline should look in 2010 once CityPlace and some othe projects are complete...it doesn't include quite a few projects like the Festival Tower (500+ ft.).

The CN Tower has a peculiar but positive relationship with the cluster that adds to the charm.

8/10
I love Toronto

1/10 tiny...sucks shit its that crap is nothing...

I rate it 8/10- about 12th on my list.
A tall, powerful and dense downtown with lots of inner city skyscraper clusters sorrounding it which makes the place look very big.
However much of the existing ( not new) architecture isn't endearing to my eye and downtown is just too densly packed to fully appreciate those 900+ footers and the raw number of other office/apartment buildings.
As such it doesn't inspire me like cities such as the nearby Seattle and Chicago which have the gift of a balanced skyline with some great looking keystone scrapers.
However the newer projects and the construction on the 'other' side of CN tower will work toward resolving my issues !!

6/10 not really that impressive. Surprised to see Canada has such large cities.

:angel1: :angel1: :angel1: :angel1: :angel1: :angel1: :angel1:

8/10. Canda's jewel!

8/10

Toronto is such kick ass place!!! I love the city, the environment, the skyline, even the numerous boxes! Along with Vancouver and Montreal, being the largest of the great Canadian three makes it a fascinating and beautiful place. I always have the best time when I'm there!

I have a couple of issues though. I visit this city quite often and never have I met such arrogant, unpleasant and irritating people as the representatives from Toronto in these forums. It is well known in Canada that Torontonians are sooo full of themselves, but that has never been apparent to me when visiting this great city, however it is more than evident on these forums...quite annoying. Also, another little thing, or rather large thing (Torontonians will hate me for this, but oh well): I hate the CN tower. It's the most penis compensating thing I have ever seen, it's even phallic too! :D Toronto is already one of the coolest cities in the world, it doesn't need that huge, pointy, penis-looking thing to make it a great place...of course it adds to the coolness factor though...so I guess it can stay! :D

10/10

I love Toronto , its the nicest skyline I've ever seen! Fuck all those ppl that voted less then 3/10! Toronto is not to boxy its perfect. I live on vancouver island (Western canada) and I can't wait to move to Toronto. I would live in Toronto anyday. I would pick toronto (or any canadian city) over andy american city anyday, b/c canada is a lot safer then america will ever be. And who gives a fuck if the population isnt that big? Wouldnt u rather be in a city that is not crowded and hard to get around, or a city that is crowded and annoying? Anyways toronto is the best, as of ever canadian city. How can you compare it to such citys as New York? New York is a lot bigger. Neways, thats my opinion, i dont give a shit what u think, gotta problem IM me on msn messenger, mattlatter_69@hotmail.com

and what is the URL address for SSP.com?

At this moment I think 9.5/10

i gave it a 9.5 future looks like a 10

^ouch
I gave it a 9
it's really dense but needs to spread more

Definitely one of the best skylines in NA.
9/10

9/10 :okay: The best Canadian skyline and one of the best in North America :cool:

I love it! 9/10!

nice skyline. Eventhough some buildings may be boxy but they aren't those ugly boxes. adding CN tower there makes the skyline much more majestic

8.5/10

10/10 great city.

great skyline, but that CN tower does'nt fit in Toronto I think.. 8.5/10

8/10

Amazing!! ...

7,5/10

Without the CN Tower and the Skydome I would give it only a 6/10. The buildings are too boxy.

I give it a 9.5. Seen from the islands, to me, is second only to Hong Kong's skyline with Sydney, Australia (I'll make the distinction because of my hometown) being a close third.

HKSkyline, those are some superb pics from great vantage points.

You always seem to have original material to post.

10 for Toronto. I like Canada.

Aside from the CN Tower, I don't like it to much. 6.

9/10

8.5/10 The skyline isn't that big, but it's crowded!

wow 10/10 :eek2:

I love this town. 9/10

9/10
Beautiful. The CN tower perfectly compliments the other skyscrapers. It also seems just the right size - not too big not too small.

presently I'd have to give it an 8 out of 10, maybe a 9 or 9.5 when all the major progects are completed (cityplace, trump, etc.). i happen to like the north american style boxy buildings ( excluding the ugly plain grey ones). The cn tower's skypod I think is still the tallest man made observation deck. you'd have to be pretty foolish to rate it anything lower than a 4, I mean its right up their with L.A, N.Y., and chicago as north america's greatest.

10/10

Toronto is nice!
9.

8/10

i like it with the CN tower. 9.5/10

Toronto is of the few cities to get a 10/10 from me!!!

Toronto is wonderful.... 9/10

I'll get some shots from the Gardiner. Coolest shot ever driving into the centre with condos like 5 feet from the highway.

I would definitely put Toronto's skyline in my Top Ten.

The CN Tower is one of the most amazing structures in the world.

9/10

Definitely worth a 9 or 10, for its skyline ONLY. It has a kickass amazing skyline, but a HORRIBLE city (IMO).

9.5. (Note: I am working on a straight 10 point scale, so no 11 pts etc) :D

Cities like Hong Kong, Shanghai, and NYC takes 10. Their skyline is much more impressive than that of Toronto's. And yes, I am a Torontoian, but I still have to admit that.

The general skyline planning is not that good. They sorta spoiled the harbour fronts imo (with residential stuff)... could have been better. Nevertheless, its not a normal plain skyline like other cities... probablt because of the Skydoom and the CN Tower! :)

One of my 3 fave skylines (along with Seattle and Sydney), just looks amazing ... 10/10

i was just in toronto and got to experience the city and the skyline for the second time.

i generally like the skyline. the financial district cluster is dense and i don't mind the boxiness of it. i've always believed that bland is always better than tacky. there is obviously a lot of new development going on in downtown so the skyline would only improve over time.

however, i don't like the drop-off in height with anything north of adelaide street. when viewed from east/west, the skyline almost appears to stop after first canadian/scotia plaza, even though we know it continues north for miles. toronto would also benefit from having more focal towers in the bloor st area as there are really no landmarks or architectural highlights outside the FiDi. the majority of toronto's skyline outside the financial core consists of drab, pseudo-commie-style residentials. toronto's skyline would be more impressive overall i think if they continued to build-up the density around the financial district to create more of a mountain-range effect. i suppose cityplace and all those new condo towers near CN tower would help, although there would still be a gap with the railyards.

nevertheless, the best skyline in canada. 8.5

Perhaps it is time to post some newer pictures.

Toronto at night! There's no way you can find a better city to be in by dark. Especially in the winter, its just so unbeatable

torontos skyline is overated, its not as great as you canadians build it up to be. other than that one cluster (which is soo boxy) and the tower, there isnt much to be impressed about.

Toronto is fucking awesome... Is it mainly english there? Or mostly French or what?

7.5/10

One of my favorite cities. it is a big fat 10

8/10 - Toronto has a very tight central cluster of buildings. It also has a good variety of architectural styles. A lot of people in this thread criticize it for being too "boxy." I still don't quite know what that means, either. For me, boxy isn't a bad thing. Melbourne's skyline, for example, is pretty boxy but it's unbelievably beautiful. Chicago's Loop skyline is also boxy, and I love it. Unfortunately, however, in terms of Canadian skylines, I think Vancouver prevails over Toronto. Toronto is still an amazing city, though.

It's a really nice skyline -- but for a financial capital and the largest city in the country, it looks too small. Then again, it might just be the CN Tower skewing things... 8/10.

9.5/10

My only beef with Toronto's skyline is that the CN tower shrinks the rest of it. I personally think that TO's skyline looks much better without the CN tower. Not as recognizable, but more impressive nonetheless.

8.5......nice height, but not very creative.

8/10

Toronto is my favorite city green , clean , save and it have a great skyline. 10.0

I'd give Toronto a 9 if 95% of the concrete shit to the North and on the waterfront (basically around the core) were destroyed. Because those hideous blocks do exist, they pollute the skyline, especially in the winter time...and thus I lower its mark to a 7.5

One of the best skyline in Canda. 8.5/10

"Toronto The Good!"

As a clean and progressive 5th largest North American city with a cold and uninviting climate to contend with, Toronto is a densely populated lively city.

With all the cold Canadian climate Toronto puts up with, it deserves a 10/10 especially how lively it can be in the middle of winter.

Any Asian city can look much more lively and 'open' beacuse they always have the perfect climate. Toronto does amazingly well for the stuff it has to contend with. The CN Tower and boxy buildings doesnt speak anything for the amazingly friendly, cultured, and multicultural utopia that is Toronto.

Toronto So Sexy!!

Toronto...
one of the most dynamic skylines for a dynamic city.

one of the worlds best, so many buildings so densed, skyline goes on forever it seems, and its still growing 10/10

i think the main cluster looks awkward. and the ongoing part of the skyline is a lot of concrete slabs.

and clean the fucking tower!

^
from ottawa, and hates toronto????? surprise:)

i try to go there once a week, i love it !! 10/10

I love Toronto's skyline and i love to visit it 10/10

Would look a lot better without the CN tower than it does with it. It dwarfs all the buildings too much, makes the skyline appear much shorter than it is.

Toronto skyline only looks good at night!

10/10, great skyline. :)

Straight 10/10

I give it a 9, its a beautiful skyline.

Just found this site yesterdays and have spent the whole morning checking out this and some other Toronto threads. Thought I was the only skyscraper nut till now :-). Kudos to all those who have placed all those pics up, never seen so many great shots of our skyline. Especially to Skybean, you really go out of your way to get all those pics up. Love those Future forecast images of the skyline too!
Anyways, enough with the ass kissing, I only got one pic, but I have no idea how I can post it. (Up high Aerial view from plane). Can anyone help me?

10/10. Better than Manhatten IMO.

As a canadian citizan, and a person who's been to toronto many time's, the perfect canadian city 10/10 for sure! Go Toronto!

Lovely, well balanced, nice talls! 9/10. IMO the buildings are a little plain-blockish-all the same, but thats my only dislike. Can't have everything!

very nice!

awesome 10/10

The CN Tower adds a lot to the vote, and demarcates it from the rest

7.5 -I would probably give it an 8.5 or a 9 if the CN tower were removed. I guess its one of those love it or hate it structures.

Different angle-- not so great IMO as you can't see everything. Simcoe Place (Bank of America) is puny in comparison to the talls of the Canadian Banks yet looks so much larger in these pics. Might look better a few years with the Ritz.

Enjoy.

And it will continue to grow.

To me the best city in the World.

That is one hell of a change. The next 10 years will be huge.

Those panoramas are amazing, definitely one of the best and most recognizable skylines in the world 9.5/10

One of the world's greats.

9.5! for now.. it needs more buildings beside skydome..(lol) .. its exciting to know that Trump towers and the Sapphire Towers are being built in Toronto.. itll be great.. :D

Were you standing on top of the Skydome Skybeam? lol

Were you standing on top of the Skydome Skybeam? lol

Indeed, I was, which is precisely why I survived the bone crushing 3 ton force of the roof closing.

8/10, but that new Trump tower sure looks promising.

The giant of Canada!
I've seen this skyline in person at least 30 times and never tire.

great city and great skyline. i was there around five yrs ago and its just great. i really enjoy its futuristic look and how the skyline blends perfectly with the environment
:):)

10/10

Great city.
9.5

Love the density, and the tapering of the towers... Amazing for a small population!

Thing is, I'm just not keen on the bare concrete of the tower.. but other than that, a marvel of a city..

Almost the same pop as Chicago in the City. Metro is 5.6 million. :weirdo:

10/10 my most favourite city

Toronto Rocks

Toronto simply the best

I love this pic... Anyone know what happened to the panorama version of it?

30 miles of buildings in every direction (other than south because of the lake) . . . . . 10/10.

In terms of density, Toronto's skyline is so heavily underated. Most people only picture Toronto skyline as that tall cluster of tall buildings.

Then they compare Toronto to cities like Houston, and say they are similar because of a dense core.

In North America, I'd say Chicago, New York, and Toronto are in a different league than the rest of the continent, even if New York and Chicago have bigger skylines.

This picture is quite "wowzer" even though Scotia Plaza is mostly covered. BMO is 298m tall.

skybean you always have the most awesome toronto shots

OMG 10!

Cool Skyline

10/10- tronto is canada's nyc, chicago and la all in 1 :)

Wait... why is Toronto ranked 16 when it was 8 just a few days ago?

Weird.

Anyways, I voted Toronto 10/10 a while back.

:eek2: what a nice skyline!! 10 no doubt. one of the best skylines in NA.
also, its one of my fav cities, after my city nablus!! :)

10 outer 10.

9.5/10

the best for skyscrapers in canada, and one of the top 3 for all of NA

9/10

I gave it a 9/10 because there are better skylines but its still very good.

A 3/10 How boring! One tower and a few skyscrapers....Next!

8.5/10

8.5/10

Side note: some forumers here like to come off as if Toronto stands
next to Chicago in the skyline department.For one, too many of the tall
ones are bunched together in the CBD, giving it a somehat small appear-
ance. The fact that a shitload of highrises stretch from hither and yon
beyond the lakefront just doesn't do much for me. But that's just me,
so don't feel slighted. :)

Horrendously ugly sorry.. 2/10

The skyline isn't that great but the city is beautiful that makes up for it 8.5/10.

If this is horrendously ugly you need your eyes checked!!!

8. Best in Canada :)

9.9999999999999/10. Very impressive skyline!

I dont think it is 10/10 (since no one is perfect) lol

2nd best in North America IMO

6/10 overrated

Toronto's North-South skyline orientation also looks impressive, can someone post shots of it? (maybe taken from the east side of the don valley parkway?)

If only 2million inhab. cities could have such great skylines!
I give it an 8 because I'm more into Vancouver right now!

10/10

10/10 for sure

9/10 it would be great to be able to see the skylight 20 years into the future.

Even if I m from Hamilton (rival) I m voting Toronto 10. (8 for Hamilton) I m being realistic.

Toronto, the best skyline in canada 10/10 for me

It's a 10 hands down. A nice, well balanced albeit boxy city centre with a needle-shaped tall structure in the middle. Much more balanced than other overgrown cities during the last 10 years, Toronto looks more "mature" as a skyline, period.
