What' that area called? Hot Rod November 14th, 2010, 11:30 PM There are high rises all over the downtown peninsula, which itself is divided into a number of different neighbourhoods and districts: CBD, Financial District, West End, Gastown district, Chinatown, Downtown South, Robson, Davie Village/district, Yaletown, SE False Creek/Roundhouse, Coal Harbour, Central Waterfront, Granville, New Japantown/Alberni, Theatre district, Robson Square, Heritage district, International Village district, Stadium district, Downtown Eastside (which includes Little Italy and Old Japantown), English Bay, Denman, and Stanley Park. Financial District has the densest and tallest set of office skyscrapers in the city/metro, located roughly around Burrard and Dunsmuir at it's centre. Outside of the downtown peninsula area, there are other concentrations of shorter highrises along the midtown Broadway Business District, uptown South Granville, then the suburbs: Burnaby: Metrotown, Brentwood. Surrey: Central/Whalley. Richmond: Centre. North Vancouver: City Centre. West Vancouver: Waterfront, Centre. Coquitlam: Centre. White Rock. others. .... kingsway November 18th, 2010, 04:11 AM 10/10 the nearest big city from where I live.

I love the mix of culture as well, a very cosmo city. However, I don't think the skyline is great. It's dense, I give it that, but it seems like it's towers are clones and quite unattractive at that.. those residential condos are to blame. I still give it a 8/10 romanito January 2nd, 2011, 03:42 AM Beautiful city... mariano_mza January 2nd, 2011, 04:00 AM Vancouver, is one of the most most most beatiful city all around the world.

It looks like maybe 3 versions of bland glass apartment towers got cloned about 50 times each and make up the brunt of the city Only 1 tall tower in the whole city (luckily it is the game changer it needed) and 0 over 200 meters Usually I am overly cruel to stubby skylines, but I think I can swing an 8 for Vancouver. For those of you saying that it's the best skyline in Canada, keep in mind that if you removed Toronto's CN Tower and main part of the business district (ya know, the whole tall part), the rest of the skyline still rivals Vancouver in height and mass. (and is 2 years away from dominating it) SO143 March 28th, 2011, 01:19 PM http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5184/5567816110_2dbeeceea9_b.jpg Source:wikipedia SO143 March 31st, 2011, 05:34 AM http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5208/5311208646_289322bac6_b.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/harry2010/5311208646/)Happy New Year to You (http://www.flickr.com/photos/harry2010/5311208646/) by Harry2010 (http://www.flickr.com/people/harry2010/), on Flickr frio April 1st, 2011, 11:35 PM not as tall as the others, but who cares, skyline is amazing for its size... see you in four days vancouver... 8/10 SO143 April 3rd, 2011, 02:50 PM http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3197/3114936401_4843331299_b.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/ecstaticist/3114936401/)City, Suburb, Ocean, Mountain (http://www.flickr.com/photos/ecstaticist/3114936401/) by ecstaticist (http://www.flickr.com/people/ecstaticist/), on Flickr Taller, Better April 3rd, 2011, 03:03 PM ^^ THAT is a superb photo of Vancouver!! :applause: Heidjer April 3rd, 2011, 05:42 PM It's quite good. 8/10 Eric Offereins April 3rd, 2011, 09:46 PM Good skyline. 8/10 I really like this pic.

Disturbing Reality April 9th, 2011, 08:36 AM vancouver is more than happy to be canada's 2nd best skyline... that's a non-issue actually, although, because of its layerings, vancouver, may, at times, look denser than toronto... SO143 April 9th, 2011, 08:42 AM I would say Toronto skyline is the best in Canada in terms of height and size. But Vancouver is always be my favorite one as it has amazing natural setting such as snow mountains background, surrounded by water, lots of trees and of course i like it's density too.

It's #2 in Canada but if they continue building on it could pass up Toronto. while vancouver is awsome and there is a multitude of apartment towers. i would give the #2 honors to calgary. it has a much taller and more balanced skyline. and the towers look different for one anouther. but all vancouver needs to take that spot is about 4 tall buildings well over 600 feet. vancouver is a solid 8/10. with the addition of a few talls like i said. then it would be a 10. Taller, Better May 16th, 2011, 08:56 PM I'd give number two in Canada honours easily to Vancouver, due to the sheer volume of towers. Plus, the spectacular setting is unequalled. Very, very close to Vancouver I'd put Montreal's, which has wonderful old cathedrals adding variety to the skyline. I find Calgary's amazing for a city its size, but it doesn't stir my imagination. arnau_Vic May 17th, 2011, 04:40 AM 7/10 SO143 May 23rd, 2011, 01:50 AM http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3517/5748792908_784e846f36_b.jpg http://www.flickr.com/photos/julianbialowas/5709284920/sizes/l/in/photostream/ SO143 June 11th, 2011, 08:52 AM http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2659/4376893512_41b8f32937_b.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/calhobbes74/4376893512/) [/url] by ...Ashish...

The setting and density are wonderful but there so many towers between just 25 to 35 stories that it looks almost as much as a wall as it does a skyline.

Agree. They're rapidly running out of space in the downtown core, so it's inevitable that we'll start seeing significantly taller buildings go up in Vancouver. A few 250 m buildings are more likely than not within the next 10 years.

Jay February 7th, 2012, 09:51 PM I've lived in Toronto for 11 years and I've never been to Buffalo. probably for the best, you're missing absolutely nothing... NYC on the other hand.. Vancouver has nice highrises, but the natural setting is what makes the skyline so amazing. Sarcasticity February 8th, 2012, 12:29 AM I've lived in Toronto for 11 years and I've never been to Buffalo. Why would you wanna go there in there first place? It's nice but boring. For Vancouver, it's photogenic when you capture the snowcapped mountains with the skyline, but for the skyline alone, it's not as nice. Those condos are horrendous - I agree with the poster that they "look" like commie blocks although they very much well be luxury apartments/condos. Nonetheless, I absolutely love Vancouver. Beautiful city, clean, a little laid-back, easy access to many settings (beach, mountain, etc). Plumber73 February 8th, 2012, 02:05 AM 'Commie blocks' to me mean a totally different style of building than a generic Vancouver condo, but anywho... Vancouver doesn't have so much a problem with unpleasant looking buildings (well if they are, then most buildings in the world are ugly) - the condos are just as nice to look at as any average city condo out there. The problem is that they use the same simple designs and rules (i.e., floor to ceiling windows, greenish, or blueish panels) for most of them. And there are a lot of them, which makes for the seemingly indistinguishable buildings. Unfortunately, these are at the forefront of the skyline. isaidso February 8th, 2012, 07:07 PM Why would you wanna go there in there first place? It's nice but boring.
