Lyon

Lyon (British English formerly Lyons) (pronounced /ljɔ̃/ in French) is a city in east central France.

Together with its suburbs and satellite towns, Lyon forms the second largest metropolitan area in France after Paris, and approximately the 20th to 25th largest metropolitan area of Western Europe.

Lyon is the capital of the Rhône-Alpes région, and the préfecture (capital) of the Rhône département.

The city gave its name to the Lyonnais province, of which it was the capital. Today the region around Lyon is still known as Lyonnais (French: le Lyonnais), or sometimes even as the Lyonnaise Region (French: Région Lyonnaise). Lyonnaise Region is an unofficial, popular name, not to be confused with the administrative région of Rhône-Alpes, which is much larger than the Lyonnaise Region.

In the skyline stakes it's found wanting, but the old city along the river looks really beautiful. I'd like to see some street level shots of this one.

YOU'RE FOOLISH!!! A CITY IS NOT ONLY A SKYSCRAPER!!! YOU MUST SEE THE BEAUTIES OF OLD BUILDINGS WHICH SHOW US A HISTORY OF MORE THAN 1000 YEARS, FROM THE ROMAN LUGDANUM TO LYON!!! IF YOU DON'T LIKE LYON? YOU CANNOT LOVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CITY OF THE WORLD: PARIS !!!

Oh, I don't think any one is doubting just how beautiful Lyon is (for what it's worth, my sister lived there and she says it's her favorite city in the world). I mean, those pics say it all! :)

But, to be fair, this IS a forum called "Rate our Skylines," NOT "Rate our Cities." And, to that end, you HAVE to admit that a skyline consisting of one, lone tower amidst a sea of 4 and 5 story buildings is kind of funny. ;)

So, Lyon the city gets a "10." Lyon the Skyline gets a "5"

Peace,

Lyon is certainly one of the most beautiful european city but i have to admit that its skyline is not really impressive. In the other hand only one skyscraper it 's quite original.
Definitely i prefer this view than those of asian cities.

i'd give it a 10 to balance the stupid unfair votes 3-or-less

It will have 2 new tower of about 110/120m in 3/5 years near the tower of credit lyonnais which measure 165 m.
I give 5.5/10 and with the new 2 tower 7/10

yes it does seem pretty strange that Lyon has a 165m tower in the middle of a relatively low rise city.

I give a 8/10 (I'm french).
The credit lyonnais tower is the greatest tower in France outside Ile-de-france (Paris region). It is sometimes compaired with a pencil. An 115 meter tower is in project. But in France, it is difficult to build skyscrapers in our old cities. Many people are against towers.

Skyline doesn't mean skyscrapers for christ sake. Every city has a skyline even if there are no towers at all.


Yet there needs to be taller and shorter buildings or some part of the city on higher land, so that when smo looks at the horizon, they see some buildings there.

Aerial photos are not skyline

All short buildings, on flat land => Lyon has no skyline

It's an incredible city! I really love the historical elements of the skyline, and, unlike some, I actually like the skyscraper.

Despite that, the skyline is still very small, so I give it a 4.5

It's a French city so "savoir faire" and "savoir batir" inform its structure. It is thus almost innoculated against ugliness and naturally it is beautiful.

Skyline is as much about the gothic and romanesque as it is about 'scrapers so despite a marked lack of height it is still a fine skyline.

As a city 9
As a modern skyline 3
As an overall skyline 7

Lyon is my city, so I may be biased but I can't give it less that an 10 because as a European, I don't think a skyline is only skyscrapers, but the whole impression given when you look at a city from far away, or from a high point of view.

YOU'RE FOOLISH!!! A CITY IS NOT ONLY A SKYSCRAPER!!! YOU MUST SEE THE BEAUTIES OF OLD BUILDINGS WHICH SHOW US A HISTORY OF MORE THAN 1000 YEARS, FROM THE ROMAN LUGDANUM TO LYON!!! IF YOU DON'T LIKE LYON? YOU CANNOT LOVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CITY OF THE WORLD: PARIS !!!

It is AXA-UAP tower, abandonned since 1995

This tower will be destroyed for another tower ( Tour Incity : 200 m )

http://images3.hiboox.com/images/0408/is7bhr2y.png

A second tower is under construction : tour Oxygene (115m )

The Skyline will be like that in 3 years ( Photo by DEG 691 )

http://www.enregistrersous.com/images2/33291216120080125190018.jpg

Since 2015 Lyon Mayor want 7 or 8 new tower in Lyon business district called " Part Dieu " which is in the center of the town ( La defense in Paris is outside of the town of paris for exemple )

But Lyon is beautifull for the Roman vestige,for the " Vieux Lyon" ( Medieval time ) and for 19th construction ( like Haussmann in Paris,but in Lyon it was by the " Prefet Vaïsse")
You can see a lot of picture in >>> The wonderfull subject of " Olympique Lyonnais "<<< (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=288278&highlight=lugdunum)

Lyon doesn't even have a skyline, and to put Leeds below lyon for having a skyline is a joke, it's rate our skylines, not rate how much you like the city

With a population of 2.2 M, LYON is the 8th most innovative city in the world (2thinknow Innovation Cities Global 256 Index 2011).
In order to face the increasing demand for office spaces, the city has planned a MASSIVE renovation of La Part-Dieu, the second business district in France after La Défense.

The future skyline will follow the chain of the Alps.

Some towers planned/under construction:

Eva Tower (Swiss Life) - 240m
Incity Tower - 200m
Lumière Tower - 165m
Hotels Cluster - 160m
...

The future skyline:
