Green, dense and right on the water. I really like those glass twins. What are they called?

8/10

Not bad at all, I'm quite impressed actually. No height but very dense, interesting, and "clean" looking. Not what I'd expect out of a prarie city like Regina. I like those glass twins too, they really give the skyline a modern, sophisicated feel. 8.5/10

a city with many possibilities , 8

Why is it that people vote so low and yet they don't post why?

Are they seriously mentally challanged?

lol

A rather impressive skyline for Regina... very green for a prairie city... the glass twins are the obvious centerpiece... very neat buildings

7/10. Another medium canadian city with a great skyline.

5.5/10 good skyline for it's population. the skyline though needs a few more talls.. something to stick out

Looks like a nice city to live in.Skyline is kinda good for it's population.

When I get a chance I could try to take some pictures of it with my new camera :tongue2:, but that might be a while from now.

and no, its not a very tall city, but you cant expect a city of 192, 000 to have huge skyscrapers. For a city of its size I think its great.

Nise city, 8/10. :banana:

In my opinion, a much better skyline than Saskatoon. Which one is bigger, Regina or Saskatoon? Regina could easily pass of as a city with a million people. It looks like something in the American Mid-West.

10.

Saskatoon is bigger... Im not sure what Saskatoon's population is anymore, but I know there are over 200 000 easily... most likely around 210k... Whereas Regina is at about 192 000.

And I agree, Regina has a MUCH nicer skyline than Sasktoon.

definitely the most underrated small skyline in canada. it's more satisfying than winnipeg.

sorry winnipeg.

on second thought, winnipeg stretches way the fudge out.

regina is more satisfying than the typical winnipeg shot with those 3 buildings there. you know the ones.

eat ass.

Great skyline for its size, and it is quite large and amazing! 9/10.

very nice :) i gave it a 9

I've been to Regina and here some pictures from the net

i paid 133$ for a greyhound ticket from london to vancouver and in the regina bus station it got stolen from me and i had to lay out 180$, of my freinds money, to get a new one.
i nearly got stranded in this town, and i would have been at a loss for a place to sleep, cause all the parks downtown are bum territory. lots of drugs and alcohol in regina from what ive seen.

haha the regina bus station is a dump :(... which is soooo sad for a capital city. The one in Saskatoon is much better. And yeah Regina is pretty bad for drugs and alcohol, but there are lots of hotels downtown too, so i dont think you would have really been at all that much of a loss for it.

hahaha i am sorry worldwide. after this story i'll give it 8/10.

wow good pictures and it looks clean and it has good buildings...

Excellent skyline for such a tiny population, and it has good aesthetics. In absolute terms it's quite tiny, but overall it is appropriate and attractive. Unfortunately, I can't go over 6.5 due to its absolute size.

Pretty nice for its size-

nice city..with a nice skyline :cheers:

very overrated city

8/10. Very impressive skyline for this size. Good example for showing what Omaha or Des Moines should have.

Can we stop this:

"Its good for its small population"

Who gives a crap? My question to you guys is how this small city from Manitoba with a very mundane skyline is ranked in the top 20 in the World atm.

^its not from manitoba, look at a map.

and neither do i think it should be top 20. it is a great skyline for the size, but not top 20 material...

^^ My bad

My neighboring province done equally well as we does in building beautiful skyline!

Manitoba- we have beautiful Winnipeg with pop. almost 700,000.

Saskatchewan- they have amazing Regina with pop. just 200,000.

I love both of them.

Some recent pictures of Regina taken from this site (http://www.corrine.ca/AboutRegina.html):

http://uregina.ca/~wollbaun/holj%20074.jpg

Also a side note... you can tell where the city ends, by where the trees end, since all the trees in Regina were planted by the people. It should be pretty much treeless like the surrounding prairie. Not bad for 192,000 people eh?

^The second picture is so beautiful

nice skyline! and i like those twin towers.
i'll give it an 8.
but there is lack of hight. it need some 200+ towers. :) :)

well, you'll be happy to know that they're bulldozing the old crappy bus station and building a brand new one, right across from the police HQ :P

anyways, I found this on my computer, I took it last year right after winter (which is why there is a serious lack of green)

It looks like a very pleasant city to live. But I guess winters are heavy there.

I can't imagine that Regina is a drug city, like some of you guys said.

Does anyone have pics of Saskatoon or Edmonton? I am very curious. Here in Europe we know nothing about Canadian cities, except for Toronto, Montreal, Quebec, Vancouver, Ottawa and maybe Calgary.

8.5/10

EDIT

From some angles it looks like a good looking city, also with quite a nice skyline. But the city centre (with the highrise buildings) looks boring from the air photos, half the city centre is parking lot.

Still, this is rate the skyline, so because it looks oke from a distance: 7/10.

to answer your question, Yes, they are seriosly mentally challanged. I mentioned it on the skyline list thread also. I cant see how any city in thes ssc comunity could rate below a 5 or 6, never mind 1 2 or 3. it sabatoges what would otherwise be a good vote.

Here are some new pictures of Regina. They were all taken by the member Migs at SSP... and you can see more pics on his blog: http://reginainpictures.blogspot.com

In any case, a little info...

Regina, is a city with a population of around 180,000 (200,000 metro) and is the Capital of Saskatchewan. A little note... virtually all the trees in these pictures were planted. Regina is on the prairie, so it would have been just flat empty field for the most part.

And now some pictures:

Looks like a nice place to visit! 7.5/10

Regina is the greenest city in the world. lol. Thanks to the farms just outside Regina.

When you multiply Regina's population by 5 and it's skyline, then comapre it to Calgary. They will look the same, with Calgary taking HQ of oil sector while Regina for the agricultural/potash sector.

Fantastic looking skyline!

I took advantage of the unseasonably warm spring weather and went for a little bike ride around Regina's downtown, so I thought I'd get a few new pictures of Regina.

As of the last updated statistics, the poofpulation the city is at around 200,000; with the metro at 220,000.

The pictures were with my cellphone, but I think they are alright nonetheless, so without further ado...

Starting to the Northwest of Downtown... A Hotel is currently being constructed in the foreground:

I dont mean to be mean, but it looks a tad depressing :(

That's because winter just ended and the trees haven't gotten their summer on yet. :)

Some older shots when the trees aren't bare:

http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/9439/regina1.jpg

Leaves don't really survive the -30s and -40s of winter...

Some of those areas could do with some sprucing up though. Cracked sidewalks, large expanses of grim concrete, and quite a ramshackle looking buildings don't paint a bright picture. It's not just the lack of foliage like you're suggesting.

Some of those areas could do with some sprucing up though. Cracked sidewalks, large expanses of grim concrete, and quite a ramshackle looking buildings don't paint a bright picture. It's not just the lack of foliage like you're suggesting.

The beginning is a little gritty, but that's because it borders on the old warehouse district and has been the site of a CP railyard for 100 years, industrial rail yards are never a pretty place, but those are being moved outside the city with a stadium and entertainment district replacing it, so there's are plans in the future.

As far as cracks go, winter just ended, which is when you start to see more cracks due to the freezing and thawing as the seasons change (ranges from -40 to +30 aren't exactly easy on infrastructure). The summer repairs won't have started yet. And Other than that, there is really just one building I see that could do with some renewal (the one beside the white Leader building), the other buildings are quite well taken care of... Which are the other ramshackle buildings you're seeing?

As for the expanses of concrete comment, it's downtown... Downtown is always glass, stone, and concrete. You don't generally have wide boulevards with grass everywhere downtown. If you're talking about the square though, those are German paving stones that have a diamond pattern with two different shades of grey. It doesn't come out as well in pictures, but if you look closer you'll see it.

10/10

not bad for a city just over 200,000:)

For a small city with a metro pop. just above 200,000, Regina's skyline is pretty damn good. I honestly haven't seen any small urban center has such an impressive downtown core.

I agree with the poster. Those has got to be the most depressing set of pictures I've seen (okay, a little exaggerated) but it seems like Regina has pretty skyline but those pics either don't do justice to the city, or the city does need a little bit of work.
