1 of my favourite city in ASIA;)

Singapore's skyline is Asia's 2nd most popular on the internet after HK :D
I'm giving it 9/10 ;)

Singapore skyline is great! 9/10

:master::master::master::master::master:!!!!!!! great pics obviusly 10/10!!!! (no 20/10 available!:()

here are pics of another part of singapore... i think most singapore pics focus on the same area too much... u can hav a better impression of sg with these pics and btw i'm juz ripping some pics from other posts... i hope its ok...

looks like alot of construciton has happened lately, i didn't know the pop had reached 4.2 million, i though it was just over 3million, must have grown alot since my visit in the early 90s

Hmmm ... I´m one of those people who doesn´t only look at the down town of a city but also at the rest, at the residential buidlings, at the suburb, which actually consist in Singapore almost only of slums .....

So the down town gets 10 from me and the whole city at all maybe 5.

erm... actually there aren't any slums in singapore... i live in a 1600sq ft apartment at the furthest end of singapore on the 4th storey and it cost about USD290,000 in a property slump = bargain price.. this apartment is in a major residential area... at this price it can't be a villa but neither would i call it a slum...

in the second pic with the blue building and green buildings under construction... those apartments there go to the millions.. and even higher the nearer they get to the city centre...

i know many of the buildings look like shit on the outside but they are rather valuable and some can be done up really nicely... juz think of hongkong with bigger apartments at slightly lower prices ...

hope this corrects ur image of singapore wif slums :angel1:

Hi Warszawiak...

I was totally puzzled by your comments. Why do u say that there are slums in S'pore?:bleep: Have u even visited this beautiful garden city? Here is S'pore, we have ABSOLUTELY NO SLUMS!!! I can confidently say that S'pore is the ONLY COUNTRY IN ASIA, and perhaps the world that had acheive this. We may not have the most spectacular skyline(2nd to hk), but as a whole country, nothing compares to s'pore.

We have the world's best goverment housing scheme, that had been awarded the United Nations Human Habitat Award more than a decade ago. It only gets more and more beautiful outside the downtown area. Every single inch of the country is well-maintained, and every single apartment block is repainted or upgraded every 5 years or so. All the streets are lines with trees and bushes and there is at least a playground or park for every 5 min walk! The governmnet spends billions every year just to upkeep the neat and tidy image.

We have developed to a stage where we are not talking about clearing slums anymore. All the slums had been developed into beautiful housing estates more than 15 years ago. We are now into bringing the standard of living to a height never seen before.

Trust me, thats what S'pore is! Why do u think thousands of people are queing up to migrate here from all over the world? If u say the town area deserves 10, then the whole country deserves 100!:D U think the world calls S'pore a "clean and tidy city" and a "garden city" for nothing?

I am so sorry if i had over reacted, but its just too disturbing to hear people say that there are slums here. This is the first time i had heard somebody say this. Come visit S'pore and look at the beautiful houses we all stay in, the countless parks we lay in and the gleaming offices we work in! Hey guys, I think its time to post pics from outside the town area!

This is one of the biggest reasons I got into skylines!!! Easily a 9.5/10!

:cheers1: agree totally rexx

even hk has slums.. those horrid temporary housing areas... they're still around aren't they?

and i live in the neighbourhood that got that human habitat award :D yeah!

I'm sorry , but I'm alittle disturbed by the thought of Singapore having slums, it's like saying the Vatican has beggars.

In fact, I'm more proud of Singapore's 'suburbs' than the city, do you know that the city is "dirtier" and "uglyer" than the suburbs?

It is a known fact that Singapore is the only city in the world apart from Rio De Janerio, that has a rainforest within city limits, so any extra land is filled with primary rainforest.

No slums at all, the 'poor' people live in these:
http://www.fbe.unsw.edu.au/research/student/SgPubHous/Normal/coners.jpg
This is considered as a poor standared of living which the younger generation can't tolerate:
http://www.fbe.unsw.edu.au/research/student/SgPubHous/Normal/kitchen.jpg
I'm sorry if I'm a little harsh here, but this statement must be made very clearley to anyone who thinks that Singapore has slums.
This is about 1/4 of Singapore:
http://archive.spaceimaging.com/ikonos/2/kpms/2002/05/browse.140975.crss_sat.0.0.jpg
Housing estates:

http://www.fbe.unsw.edu.au/research/student/SgPubHous/Normal/site2.jpg
The short houses are not slums, but expensive landed property and shophouses the highrises are cheaper.

Well said rEXxx and great pictures Cliff!!:applause: :applause:

Go easy on warszawiak. He probably has not been to Singapore and might be assuming just because its in Asia, there have to be slums. You lot have certainly set that record straight!
Singapore has often been described as a 'first world oasis' ;)

i give 9/10 well i will give 10/10 if singapore got more than 280m tower :)

10/10!!! how many pics are we allowed to post for a single city? I thought it was 5(even though i've posted 9 or 10 for seoul myself)

Singapore is nice. A mixture of east and west, and you can see that in the archictecture.

9/10

a perfect 10, nothin else to say.;)

i love the first picture..

Awesome picstures! I rate 10/10 cos I do like the Singapore skyline. Beautiful lights up in the sky on the concrete strucures. A living metropolis indeed! :)

Impressive skyline.
9/10:)

Singapore's skyline is one of my fav.9/10

Singapore is obviously and undoubtedly - an intriguing and amazing place! 9.

have we had this one already?...or maybe I've looked at it a lot.

Singapore has one of the best skylines. I love it.

10/10

i didnt have too see the pictures to give this skyline a 9. its great enough 4 me

I have loved the Singapore skyline for an
enormously long time. It blew me away to see it
in person 2 years ago. It's a beautiful skyline.
Nicely balanced, great height, some gorgeous
modern skyscrapers. I give it an 8.5/10.

Double skyline:
http://www.sky.s64.pl/home/W/Sing2/s01.jpg

Looks great!! Very striking. 9.5/10

hmmm who are the 5 who voted 3 or less, the 2 who voted 3.5, and the 1 who voted 5? i'd like to know the reason for the low rating.... cos i could hardly imagine such a great skyline (to me) receiving such low ratings... i never noticed the low ratings until today..

Singapore is a near perfect score for me. Three identical height towers, dense skyline and tall, gets a 9.5 from me, just needs something taller than 280m.

Next to Sydney thats the most beautiful skykine, i´ve ever seen!!

I like it but it really sux about the height lmit. wasn't there something about raising it?

Small Place,
few people,easy be planned and managed...

Not bad.
9/10

I forgot what I said the 1st time I rated, but that was before I could vote. Now that I can vote, I give it a 10.
Its one of best skylines Ive seen honestly. :)

a very beautiful city esp at night.

though it's not so close to what i have in my mind, not giving the city a perfect ten in a sin, and worse, a crime...with penalty:D

seriously, singapore is one of the best (if not the best) in asia and in the world.

I like this city after Hong Kong!

A very American-style skyline, I think. The buildings are packed together and arranged better than most Asian cities. It reminds me a lot of Los Angeles, but bigger.

Only one building appears in all three photos. Take note of the tallest one in the first picture...

AMAZING!!!

Superb!!!!!!!!

Hmmmm...........
Lovely pictures!

Singapore is very clean and nice.
But its skyline is not that great.
Buildings are located only CBD area.
Every pictures are the same in different angles
It still lacks skyscrapers except big 3 and small CBD

I find the quality of skyscrapers in Singapore to be good. However, the majority of the designs tend to be rather bland. 5/10

9,5/10 one of my favorite skylines:guns1:

10/10 no commet.

Nice and Clean...

9.5/10

Not many skyscrapers,
Not high enough, as ranked No 4 in the world.
Fairly Overrated!

But very nice city for sure!

10/10

You must be either talking about Maybank Tower or Suntec City

Yellow light

orange light.
:D

That is the Maybank Tower, waterloo. ;) It is 175m (575ft) tall, at 32 storeys high, and finished last year in early 2002. It was designed by a Singaporean architect, who happens to be my friend's uncle! :D

Another interesting thing about it is last year October, performers from the Australian group "legs" waltzed down the building and did a ballet on its surface as part of a huge extravagenza on the entire bay for the Esplanade's (those durian-shaped buildings...the art's centre) opening. ;)

Thank you very much Huawei~(-_-)(_ _) my thinking this building is best in Singapore~

I love this building too! But the bad thing is that it's built next to other tall buildings which make it look short. If you were to move it to another place, it would shurely tower above the rest.:D

But of course, it does enhance the skyline alot!;)

Great Photos and they don’t do the city justice
One of the best sky lines in the universe
Its need an observation tower for us to admire it from

I think this skyline is overrated. It's nice but the designs seem more conservative than many other Asian cities. I still gave it an 8.

One of my favourite in Asia !!

10/10

Bump(with a twist):D
http://megaweb.clubsnap.org/images1/merlion.jpg

Obviously 10.

I give Singapore a 9.5

A stunning skyline.

10/10. THe best example of "how to build a skyline"

10/10 Beautiful skyline.A lot of density.Certainly one of the best in the world.

Singapore roars!!!

9/10

9/10 One of the best skylines in the World

I have not extensively studied singapore but from these pics..I like what I see. It has great density (couldn't be better) and good height...I'm not totally sure I admire the building styles that much (for that I'd have to see them in person)...the urban core has a lot of good interaction with the surrounding waters and landscape....which, like it or not, is a crucial aspect of an exciting skyline. in the case of singapore...the gleaming towers rise from the waters that seem to surround the scrapers, giving the cityscape a clean, almost pure look

The best city in the world! 10/10 from me!
If I ever get my hands on the list of people who voted 3 or less - those losers will all be dead!

Best thing is, its very compact downtown. Bad things is, still not many buildings. Luckily i dont see any flats around in the CDB area. Good work singapore!!

its a 10 for me.

fine with me...7.5/10.

Singapore is beautiful and Unique, though it should not be ahead of Chicago. I potentially might have put a 3 or less, though only because so many people did the same to NY, so it was in retaliation, and I also want to move Chicago ahead of Singapore.

9/10 for one of the most beautiful, clean, modern and cool city in the world!!;)

Singapore is a very clean and beautiful country, the people has very high knowledge on hygeine too. Like everybody knows that Singapore people don't eat gums and stuff...I give 9.5

9/10 the skyline is great

Very pretty, well-organized. Picture-perfect. 9.5/10

I would have given it a 10 if it were a bit more massive. Still, Singapore is one of my favorites. :rock:

Ah Singapore,one of my favorite skylines in the world :drool: 9.0/10

I've always loved Singapore's skyline, 10

I'll give Singapore 9/10.

Regarding slums, I guess these aren't:

http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v294/ooompaloompa123/Singapore/sing1875.jpg

... very impressive architecture, I dubbed it "The Great Wall of Singapore". I don't think I'd like to live in it though (Bukit Panjang Ring Road).

Below: a view from up-river. I did find some guys sleeping under one of the bridges, but i guess they had somewhere to go home to:

http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v294/ooompaloompa123/Singapore/sing1893.jpg

My best shot of Boat Quay, out front of the UOB Plaza. True, you can't see the high-rises- very impressive- but the little buildings look good too.

http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v294/ooompaloompa123/Singapore/sing2018.jpg

Some great shots further back this thread, by the way.

wow! the pic from the lrt was really novel..

i think the guys sleeping under the brdige were probably construction workers?

These "slums" in Singapore are more than 20(almost 30) years old, can you tell?? :D

I had a great time photographing Singapore a couple of years ago. According to my partner, my shot from the Bukit Panjang LRT has already been exhibited to your "First Lady".

The 30 year old "slums" look very familiar, babystan03: but given, I think, 4000+ high-rises in Singapore? I'll leave that to the locals.

Another "slum" shot up the river: destitute people grovelling in houseboats:

Excellent pics of the MRT Circle line , heirloom ...

There aren't really any slums here.He's just joking.

Yardmaster, those aren't slums.They were former warehouses, now preserved and turned into nightlife spots.

Joking? Well look at this ...

The centre of the island: just thatched huts: and the people worship pagan idols.

And in Singapore, even the footbridges are riddled with weed.

http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v294/ooompaloompa123/Singapore/sing1898.jpg

I did actually find a few buildings which were sort of slummy (while trying to find a quick route up Bukit Timah from the north-west). But which of us hasn't slummed it at times?

do you have pics of the actually slummy building? bukit timah is um supposedly a high wealth residential area...

There were some very impressive tower blocks along the Upper Bukit Timah Road ... which I photographed.

http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v294/ooompaloompa123/Singapore/buktim01.jpg

I think these actually look a lot better than the ones at Bukit Panjang. Behind the Rail Mall, however, were some pretty ordinary looking single and double storey residences, which I didn't bother to photograph, because they didn't interest me. The residents seemed to think it was a bit strange for a long-hsired Caucasian guy to be wandering around their back-streets with a camera and they didn't invite me in. Who knows; maybe those houses were actually lovely inside.

Wow, this thread is huge, and it so well should be. BTW, somebody pay for that guy to go to Singapore so he gets it strait in his face that theres no slums in Singapore.

If I was rating his way, I would rate NYC Downtown a 9.8 and the total city a 3. Its full of slums. Thats why he shouldn't even rate like that.

Hi i m a new member here!! To me, Singapore and New York have the best skylines!! 10 is a must!! :crazy2:

Sad to say, some of the buildings are not modern and well design (box design). Looks like boxes along the coast and flat land behind the boxes. I give it 3.

Fantastic! I have no choice 10 espescially red roofs with skyscrapers :eek:

World's Cleanest skyline, final.
Ten Out Of Ten, if not more./\(period)

Oh no, its not fantastic. Too far to be compared with NYC and HKC. Singapore still way to go!! The building are dull looking, way to go is all i can say.

I think Singapore is fantastic - one of the best skylines in the world, especially at night.
9/10 from me.

9.5/10
If only there were a BIT BIT more skyscrapers.
The water/lights/building combination is electrifying.
And in terms of cleanliness Singapore owns HKC, NYC.

Singapore! way to go is all i can say, youre still behind.

For those who had always been wondering, those short rowhouses are actually called 'shophouses' here.

In Singapore there are many conservation areas.One of the biggest being Chinatown Heritage District, which is made up of 4 Conservation Areas.

So don't expect any new buildings to come up within the Conservation Areas.

very nice skyline.

After days of consideration, i have a set of further comments before i vote.

Singapore with buildings pack at the fronts and flat land behind is one truly weakness. The depth is not deep enough and up to standard, and the length is short as well.
The design good but this will just look like a row of buildings along the coast.
I lived in singapre before and i found out that the people most of them are not kind. As what people said 'kiasu' means scare to lose. But truly, who bother to challenge with singapore, so singapore is just making story all its own that people want to challenge them. Not all of them, but majority of them. This is one of the negative side of singapore. The good side is that singapore is a good place for food. She is one of the best asian country where you can enjoy good food.
Lastly, its all about skycraper, so i can vote for scraper for 7.

Flat land behind with buildings packed at the front? :?
Where got?


The vast land at Marina Bay is for recreational uses and for our new Downtown.
The depth of the Financial District skyline is about 1.5 km.

The straight parallel rows are due to the fact that in the past, the area were all row buildings.In the past, the backlanes were the back doors of the buidlings, but they stil remain now.

9.5/10 for me. One of the best.

I've always liked the beautiful Singapore skyline. Every building in the CBD seems to pop up at its most appropriate position which makes the entire skyline so appealing :)

9.5/10

I think Singapore has one of the best skylines in the world.

Magic City 10/10

Very nice Skyline. I give it a 8.5/10.

I gave it a 7, due to the height restriction...

I did not comment since I'm pretty sure huaiwei or babystan will surely react violently to my post, they're so defensive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways, if you'll criticize singapore, better not to continue it coz there are alot of "defensive" singaporeans here, so scary! grrrrrrr.....

10/10 no doubt best in southeast asia :) :)

love it 9, betta than LA nad tokyo

mmmm, just perfect. :)

fell in love of it! 10/10

One of my fav in the world. I love those futuristic designs 9.5

Definitely a 10

I have been to Singapore and I think that it has the perfect combination of nature and urban development. The blend of different architectural styles is also overwhelming, and I especially like the shop houses, because almost all of the shop houses in Hong Kong have been pulled down. I also like the skyline, and there is a sleek and modern quality about it that Hong Kong lacks. Perhaps Hong Kong's skyline is more colourful and varied, but Singapore's looks more sleek and orderly.

The only reservation I have is that Singapore has a slightly sterile and artificial feel, even the shophouses seem too new and clean to be real.

But aside from that, Singapore is one of my favourite cities (in Asia at least). I actually like it better that Hong Kong (where I live). Great food as well.

9/10. Nice variety of skyscrapers. I love the Trio, especially.

It's nice on certain view or area but not every part of Singapore, some can be heaven and some can be yerk

It's got wonderful buildings, but nothing compares to Hong Kong! :D

I think it has great potential to be the best! :) It seems alittle too dense, but, I'll give it a 9.5/10.

9.5/10

One of my favorite city skylines...

Definitely a 10/10!

My 2nd favorite in Asia after HK: 9.5

Erm, 6? Care to explain why?

huh! this is the first time i was ask to explain about rankings. i guess 6 is on average. we all have our likes & dislikes. singapore is average for me... not too good and not bad...

great city 10/10

Very, very nice. I give it a 9.5/10. :yes:

10/10

stunning
9,5/10

Definitely a great skyline and awesome. 9.5/10 for Singapore. I love it. :cool: :)

8/10

Singapore gets a 6. I've been there, and I was actually disappointed with the city and the skyline.

WOW thats a 10 for me.
unless most of asian cities looking ugly with cheap skyscrapers everywhere, and bad planning, the CBD looks beautiful, well planned, with high quality architecture.
unless the chinese, they are not trying to build some ugly 450m towers, but prefer 250m beauties..!

vive singapour

9.5, awesome skyline, very tall, and attractive.

9/10

Excellent skyline....10/10

i give it 7/10

Singapore is a really beautiful city, with some really nice photos in this forum. I like the fact that its skyscrapers aren't boring, and yet whenever I see new photos, I begin to realise that it has a new layer of skyscrapers every time which I had not seen previously. Its a very organised, and clean city; its dense enough and it has some pretty nice buildings. It even possesses a very international yet Asian-feel to it, and with this, Singapore is worthy of its position.

9/10

Why are three towers of 280 meters?

because thats the height limit :)

No 1 of my favourite city in ASIA :)

12/10 ;) 10/10

9.5/10

9/10 again as there are better skylines.

Singapore has just got something about it - there are bigger and taller skylines out there, but this one just ooozes class.

This picture is what makes me have to give it 10/10:

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y124/the_boy_david/200419.jpg

Now look at me in the eye and tell me thats not impressive.

because thats the height limit :)

wow soo strict

8.5/10. Sorry I have to reserve 9.5/10 for Manhattan, my hometown ;)

10/10 :)

No need comment 10/10

a great skyline...10

10/10 one of my favourite city of the earth , so beautiful , skyscrapers , more and more , what a pity , the singapore's law ... not more 280m ?? right ? , i want to live one moment in this city , the most clean !!

I stay here before. Very nice country and city. And I like the people as well. 10 points from me.

very clean and organized! :applause: 10/10

great looking city i think its better than shanghai or at least as good 9.5/10

Wow, Singapore is like my room, clean and spacious. UGH!! So beautiful. Judging from their strict policy with literring and slum areas around the city, wow. With a strict rule like that, I think I should become like that too. The skyscrapers are also beautiful in the way of how it blends in through everything, the day, night, the other skyscrapers, the bright blue sky, whatever you think. So romantic, right? Um....ok.
Basically, Singapore is a well known city + country with something in mind that it is a funny area. With Singapore being the size of the city itself, I have no idea why?
Back to skyscrapers....again, during nighttime, the city shines like a crystal on a table showing off it's behind to people, or showing off my behind to girls. I just can't get my mind off of how Singapore is so tasteful.
My ratings has to be on what I feel about the city, and she says "DAMN!!!" 10/10!!

great skyline, small and not dense, but yet impressive

I Love Singapore - been there twice this year already and i'm going there again for new year (Calender new year)

Heres a couple of my pics - all taken with a Casio Exilim Z55, Hence the slightly blurry night shots

The First two i took from Bar New Asia - 70 floors up and my ears popped in the express lift. This was from my first visit in May

easy,10/10

It's interesting.
8/10

9.5 out of 10

easiest poll to date. 10/10

S'pore CBD (Raffles city) 9/10
S'pore overall skyline 8/10

9/10.

S'pore CBD is one of my favourite in Asia along with HK and Tokyo. It's not polluted, organized...give ppl peace of mind and relaxation. The other asia cities' CBD come close are Shanghai and Sydney...others not really attractive

10/10

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v730/jonathantay/66366426.jpg

Despite the height restrictions, Singapore is one of the best skylines in Asia!

9.5/10 for Singapore :D

By the way, If SG didn't have the height restrictions, can the city come up with a skyline that can match HK?

8.5/10... it would be much better if it gets bigger...

8.5/10

it would be much better if it gets bigger...


agree :cheers:

I voted an 8.

I know I could've voted for something higher but the skyline is not something that I like about Singapore. Well, it's above okay and even somewhere between "good" and "very good". I'll rate it 11/10 when structures such as the Sail@Marina, Pinnacle, 1 Quay, etc. are completed

But IMHO the things that make me like Singapore are not the strucutres but rather on the following namely:

1) Singapore Mass Transit Railway System - first country I saw that has "screen doors" so that you cannot accidentally fall off or commit suicide by jumping on the railway tracks

Singapore train system reminds the world that all modern train systems MUST HAVE THESE SCREEN DOORS!!! :)

2) Changi Airport Terminal 2 - has insides/interior of those buildings that you see on Star Trek)

3) http://www.directv.com.ve/directvven/FTP/Programacion/Variedades/animax%20(1).gif

The home of Animax, my all-time favorite anime channel. Animax-Asia's headquarters is located in Tampines Junction, Singapore and is managed by Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) Networks Asia.

10/10

singapore is one of south east aisa's pride! i myself have been to singapore once and loved it... the city is filled with friendly and accomodating people:D

10/10

10/10 Love it :)

very nice 10/10

no doubt 10/10 :)
too bad the limit is only 280m

10/10 -- no doubt Singapore has one of the best skylines in existence.

I'm surprised I havent rates this one earlier. 10/10

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d109/NQT612/singapore3.jpg

9/10- 1 of the best asian skylines, but it can be bigger.

8.5/10

Singaporean skyline is top-notch!! :D

9/10- 1 of the best asian skylines, but it can be bigger.
Agree, S'pore skylines are quite small...9/10

Because the 'classic' view is only a mere few streets wide.

Most of the other skyscrapers are in fact in the suburbs.

Most city skyscrapers are in Orchard area. ;) :cool:

Orchard area not attractive enough. The only place i like is Raffles city, S'pore financial centre. S'pore is clean and organized, but quite boring

Raffles City is a shopping/exhibition/hotel/office development..... ;)

10/10 for me. The skyline has been planned very well and the setting makes it even more aesthetically pleasing, making for one of the best skylines in the world.
