bullshit list.

no accuracy I can see from that list, sure they just copied from The Emporis and pasted on their site.

If just from Emporis..
Why Bangkok got so high???

Simply because Emporis's databases on such cities far east like Bangkok, Jakarta, some of those Chinese cities or even KL arent completed (which never will).

Comparing to those European cities or United States, almost 100% highrises are listed. while There are only precisely around 60-70% of Bangkok highrises on the site.

GREAT:okay:

From this statement ....Bangkok may got better position???

nope.

There are trillions of Unknown Chinese cities that may has a skyline which twice the size of Bangkok's.

There are Billions of Brazillian Cities that may has a skyline that 3-4 times bigger than Bangkok skyline.

Some how, completed-Moscow might even has a bigger skyline than Bangkok.

SHH!!!! THE WORLD MUST NOT KNOW! ;)

If you say something like...
Shanghai's skyline or MexicoCity's skyline is twice bigger than the size of Bangkok's skyline ...

I may believe..

Completely inpossible by the great commonsense of mine... and sure will the rest of the world (except that person is not being open-minded and know what Bangkok is)

Thanks for the pics ...Chad.
China is the big country indeed.
:)

I was wondering. How can they measure the size of skyline in each city?. How can they point out that which city has bigger or smaller skyline?
and you guys said some cities has 2times or 10 times bigger in size in tern of skyline.....what is the criteria for that rank?.....How could that be..?

Factors are

Number of building/Number of floors in each buildings.

I think that list is a bit weird, too, seeing that it's made up from Emporis information and includes u/c buildings which I don't think should count.

But I think it's grand that Bangkok is in 6th place, and I think you guys have every reason to be proud! :cheers:

I wonder. Is this stat. accurate?
How can they measure population of these city as people are moving in and out? Many people study and work in these cities without registering their names into the cities municipalities.
I guess cities like Korat and Chiangmai could have population up to 0.5 millions. Am I right?

And BKK should have like 10 millions.
