Why is it sad? It's not a particularly rich place... I think that's doing quite well.

Plus what's wrong with the skyline...? Reminds me of many places throughout the world...like Florida, or Australian coasts?

A nice beach resort style city, but with many old, concrete apartments, it needs a few more modern scrapers.
Nothing overly high aswell

Very nicely formed skyline- seems to peak at the centre and then gradually taper down, creates a good focal point. Individual buildings leave a fair bit to be desired though and needs some new stuff. A bit more height would also be good but probably not needed. Cheers

New restaurants on harbour overlooked by the urban wall of the Esplanade. The beach-facing highrise district is around 3km down this road.
The harbour is the busiest and most important on the continent.

I gave Durbs a 10, sorry my view on this city is not completely neutral as I am married in this city and go there every year. The skyline comming from the M6 or N3 freeway looks very impressing.Also the hotels on the Mile look amazing. With all new plans Durbs will become an even better place. Let's not forget this is still Africa.

Not bad. Nice cluster, could use a bit more height though. 7.5/10.

dysan1
November 3rd, 2005, 11:18 PM
it will be much better when the buildings u/c are up, for the Beachfront skyline will be extended and the hotels around the ICC will add even more density to the central city. We do need more height! All the big buildings in Durban that are u/c arent in the cbd, they are more dispersed. also biggest building headed to Durbs (the +180m Pearl Sky) is to be in the edge city of Umhlanga (20km north on the coast)

For more the construction in Durban visit the South African Forum

Looks nothing like a Florida skyline. It does not have enough glass, flashy colors or glitz. It looks more like the old Vancouver skyline or any Canadian city prior to the 1980's building boom. Brown highrises by the sea are unnerving.

The skyline is big though

according to this list (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_Africa), Durban has 12 buildings that are 100+ metres tall. And none 150+ metres.

Second (after Joburg) best skyline in Africa,
