7. Adelaide, SA

At least we have the same 10 cities.

You know Winterthur is my Birthplace, I have a personal relation to it.
I see - mine is Aarau and I thought of putting it in, but the city (government) is too conservative and the town changed to be very boring in the last 30 years... (I have been living in Zurich since 1990 anyway - apart from Sao Paulo) it's also not growing anymore, not even in the metro. Winterthur on the other hand is not only one of fastest growing aggomeration, but also city!! Unique in Switzerland :)

Spain:
1. Madrid
2. Barcelona
3. Salamanca
4. Segovia
5. Sevilla
6. San Sebastián
7. León
8. Oviedo
9. Toledo
10. Gerona
No Valencia?

in terms of "SSC"
my top10:
1 's Gravenhage / The Hague
2 Rotterdam
3 Eindhoven
4 Leeuwarden
5 Amsterdam
6 Groningen
7 Flushing / Vlissingen
8 Apeldoorn
9 Tilburg
10 Rijswijk
excluding a couple of my overall favourite cities
at #8 Apeldoorn is a new entry because of:

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=194828

http://www.architectenweb.nl/bin/news/42042.jpg

Just this ^one makes up for the rather dull - sorry, extremely dull - character of Apeldoorn. My architecture top10 would also read very diifferently: with Nijmegen, Den Bosch, Utrecht, Maastricht, Deventer, Haarlem and Leiden. My city has the best landscape, almost unanimously agreed upon; Arnhem is seen as a Belgian, French, Burgundian or similar city but present skrapers don't live up to the posh reputation of the city.

the twin towers next to Arnhem Station:

1. Brussels
2. Leuven
3. Gent
4. Aalst
5. Halle
6. Brugge
7. Antwerpen
8. Mechelen
9. Dendermonde
10. Geraardsbergen
