No tall scraper, but I'm interested in beautiful park & glass pyramids.

You didn't vote though...

For the love of God people... VOTE!

Good God!

Edmonton is a beautiful city with some decent height for a metro of its size... the Manulife building is gorgeous... nice variety here

I like this

Wow,never expected this kind of skyline in Edmonton.

that's a pretty impressive skyline in anyone's language. a little on the boxy side but things are definitely on the up and improving.

i give edmonton 8

I give Edmonton an 8.5 because it does better than most cities with simmilar populations.

Here's a view of most of the skyline. The university skyline is on the other side of the river.

yes Edmonton does very good for it's size.. i will give 8.5/10 also.

Like most of Canadian city Edmonton has a good skyline.

Here are some more pictures:

8.5/10. Edmonton is awesome! The only thing Edmenton really lacks is hiehgt, other than that, the city has good architecture and nice density.

Boxy but decent

6.5/10 it's pretty big, although there's not a lot of height. overall i like it:)

a small skyline...

Good

I really wish gutless haters would stop voting <3/10... Edmonton is clearly not a 3/10!!!

I think for a City of its size Edmonton has a great skyline. And once they finally get rid of the City Centre Airport and the height restriction that comes with it the height will come as well.

abundant buildings for a city of a million inhabitants, pretty
buildings of crystal and with enough density 8,5/10

Nice skyline, but need some taller buildings

I've been there once

8/10

Nice, I guess Canadian cities have the reputation of not having too many tall buildings but, doesn't compromise on the overall beauty and structure. Not very dense city, but, those buildings definitely look good. I give 8.5/10

niiiice. This is truly a great find for me. Ive always seen edmonton on a map, but always thought it was like a waste land of suburbs. Was i wrong! Well, i like it...maybe a little too boxy, but the setting and the......pure number of buildings make up for that. 9/10

7.5/10

I like this picture. Edmonton has no very sprawl skyline, but it enough dense and interesting ;) And Yes, if Edmonton would has at least one new modern and tall highrise, I would give 9/10!
http://skyscraperpage.com/gallery/data/500/13edp2.jpg

Edmonton is a beautiful city.....love the Manulife Centre. Hope our new Manitoba Hydro tower looks something like that. I vote an 8!

6.5

Very nice, and dense and tall enough for a city of its size. Looks in proportion.

Here is another panorama.

7/10

While it does look nice, Edmonton looks like Canada's answer to Denver. 6/10

Edmonton has some beautiful buildings unfortunatly that Telus "box" takes up prime land and blocks the sight of Manulife and the more appealing buildings behind.

Edmonton is also home to the worlds largest shopping mall, which has to be taken into consideration when viewing the skyline. It is too bad it was built out in the west end, because if it was built in the core there would be many hotels and spin off services, prehaps even rivaling calgary when it comes to tall structures. Another point in the Edmonton/Calgary comparison is the benefit of having the underground LRT in Edmonton. Calgary may of had the short term benefits of not having to deal with the massive traffic problems and ability to have a mass transit capable of bringing people downtown. But I believe in 30-50 years the benefit of Edmonton's underground mass transit will perhaps reverse the trend of head offices choosing Calgary over Edmonton.

Some more.

7/10

Edmonton is a beautiful city. Just by looking at the pictures I get the feeling that it is very clean and safe. It is a jem shining in the Northern Canadian woods.

Edmonton is a very handsome city with a nice skyline. Because its sits somewhat high on the river valley, the skyline seems grander than it is. Edmonton is just waiting for a big bang in development with its hot economy. What Edmonton needs is a tall to stick out at the side and give it more definition. Hopefully this will happen east of city hall. Also they need to close the city airport so the city can go over its height limit. Edmonton has more skycrapers than Calgary, its just its more uniform and their plenty around the 20-30 story mark. Something needs to go over 50. Edmonton's ready for it!

Damn height limits. What you see is as high as you can go. But there is talk of closing one runway at the City Centre Airport. Once that happens the height limit at the east will be lifted. Then we may see more height. Currently there are lots of buildings proposed and going up, just not much in height right now, I think the most is 30 and several 28 stries.

Typical Canada. Plain but the perfect place to be. I have a friend who lives there and loves the city! 7.5/10

6.5/10

Dense, but it doesn't dominate.

Quite nice. It would be good if the height restrictions were eased, but the density you've got is pretty good.

What picture.

In the top photo I found where I used to Live ( right behind Future Shop in Rail town tower 2 on the 11th story) I actually helped build those buildings ! Edmonton does have height! Manual life place is like 42 stories! 8/10 :)

7.0/10 - pleasantly surprised

6.5/10 -- It's a really nice skyline.

It needs some type of signature tower.

A very nice city, but the skyline is very boxy. I give it a 7/10.

Ah, my true hometown...I give it an 8

I have to say though...the towers look much bigger when you are 6 years old...I've only once been to downtown Edmonton twice since then and I was surprised to learn that it didn't extend inwards quite as far as I thought (or it looks). Oh well, it's still a humble skyline...

I have always not like their skyline its just so boring but i do say they have a great packing in to the buildings.

for a city so high in lattitude its very nice 8/10

Nice skyline. It lacks height but density is really good. 7,5/10

8.5/10, amazing and beautiful skyline for a great looking city.

8/10

WOW! I LOVE Edmonton and I think it has a great skyline too! 9/10. Also my favourite Canadian Hockey team. GO OILERS! :)

Lacks genuinity 6-10

The skyline looks similar to San Diego`s in height ,consistancy and grouping.

8.5/10.
Quite...Impressive. Nice architecture.

It's very nice, but it's hard to believe that its metro is as large as Calgary's. Edmonton tends to be very overlooked which is unfortunate as it can compete with almost any metro in its size range.

I've never seen that angle before in the airial photo - I like it. When I lived in Seattle I always wanted to get up there and check it out, but never got the chance, nor Calgary, I regret it. Now that I live in Chicago, I'll be scoping out Milwaukee and Cleveland.

A little boxy but I like it. 8.

Edmonton is an ok city. Here's to hoping they can develop East Jasper with some highrises, lol. I'm sure they can - they just need people to build them.

There's a couple 30+ story buildings being built right now i the core - residential.

I like Edmonton, and the skyline is pretty good!

Edmonton's skyline is not fantastic. Its long and thin, a few blocks around Jasper Avenue. Most of the buildings are way past their glory years. Until Edmonton becomes more of a commercial hub, this will always be the case. The city should encourage more residential towers downtown...and close that stupid municipal airport that prevents taller buildings from being constructed. 6.5

8/10 nice city! Alberta is beautiful.

8.5/10. Small but nice.

Edmonton will be one to watch. It's not a big head office city, but it's rich and just seems to grow like gangbusters year after year.

I like it. It is sort of like Denver's skyline, except without the three ~200 meter buildings, but with a lot more 50-120 meter buildings, and a greater variety of colors and textures. It looks colorful and balanced, don't always have to have supertalls for a nice skyline.

5/10 - the city looks magical under the snow but the skyline itself is very eighties ;)

The skyline itself has so much potential, but next to Calgary, it's quite behind. It seems like the downtown core has quite a large footprint, but there is a plateau effect of the buildings. Maybe there's a height restriction I'm not aware of so pardon me. But overall, the city has so much potential but needs to stray away from the boxy architecture.

(Someone correct me if I'm wrong) There was a height restriction of around 500ft because Edmonton used to have two airports fairly close to the downtown core, however an airport is currently being replaced and that height restriction is being lifted and recent proposals are taking advantage of that. Manulife 2 is proposed at 161m and another proposal I saw for Edmonton was around 238m, though I haven't heard anything on that one in a while.

I'm not that familiar with Edmonton, but that sounds about right. There do seem to be some exciting things in store for Edmonton. I don't think they like being overtaken by Calgary and would like their #1 title back.

Calgary gets the attention because of its corporate clout, but people forget that Edmonton's practically the same size and growing just as fast.

The skyline of Edmonton is definitely not as impressive as Calgary's, but i find the city more interesting than Calgary. Its more varied, dirty and working class which i find more appealing.:)

Edmonton has a great skyline for its size. I have a FB friend that lives there and a real time friend that is from there.
