10

My second favorite skyline.

One of the truely great skylines of the world... 10/10

One of the greatest skyline in the world

10/10

Take away 100 skyscrapers at random...and New York will still be a 10! Not many...if any...other cities can do that ;)

10/10!

This is just plain sad .....

i reckon (aussie slang) that for NYC, HK and Chi-Town should only have 5 or above. This is just plain jealousy.
Dont worry.. i 'try' not to let this stupidity get to me but it really gets me mad how ppl can be so cheap.

This is THE greatest skyline in the world.. other than chicago they are all imitations.

It's my favourite city in U.S.A but about skyline i prefer Chicago
btw

10/10!
:)

These are the best picture that I have seen from NYC, beautiful skyline 10/10 but to be there on real life is the best,,, no words...

New York, New York. The name conjurs an image of towering skyscrapers, amazing architecture and awesome streetlife. It is a city for many years, called the greatest or most fascinating. New York is indeed #1 on my list.

Skyscrapers-10
Skyline-10
~~Night-10
~~Day-10
Density-10
Architecture-10
Total-10!

10/10

nine and nine tenths of ten.

no city is perfect, but New York City comes close. But if it makes you other New York lovers happy, I have to round up to ten.

:drool: 10/10

If you vote anywhere below 8 for this one then surely you can't like skyscrapers (or just hate the US). NYC practically invented the skyline. I give it 9.5
When the new WTC is built I'll give it a 10!!

Easy 10/10

It's a living museum of phenominon! :eek:

10/10

Why can't we vote 20/10!
One of the Greates Skyline of the World (Hong Kong is still first, for me at least)
Thanks a lot for so many very cool pictures:D

Some people really cannot appreciate a good skyline.

10/10 duh!
http://www.mamster.net/food/images/nyc-skyline.jpg

The full 10 without a moment's hesitation! :banana:

Now thats what I call a skyline.

9.5/10

9/10 (But still the greatest on God's green Earth :D )

As M.C. Hammer so eloquently put it, "Can't touch this!" ;)

Always my favorite. I know that DC doesn't have much of a "Skyline" and that's OK with me, but it's wonderful to have "the world's greatest skyline" so close!!!

:applause:

Start Spreading the News, I'm Leaving Today, I want to be a part of it.. NEW YORK! NEW YORK!

:)

This is the only skyline in the world that deserves a PERFECT 10. It offers an amazing collection of skyscrapers from every historical era. Unlike today's buildings, many of these older structures will never be duplicated. Sorry Asia, you're a little late getting into the game.

It needs at least 35 more towers above 100 floors and 1,300 feet, especially in Midtown Manhattan, Lower Manhattan, and downtown Brooklyn.

8.997/10

10/10 My favorite skyline of all time. I think it's the most famous skyline in the world.



:colgate: :colgate: :colgate: :colgate: :colgate: :colgate: :colgate:

My favorite skyline. 10/10. I don't care if it isn't the official "king of skyscrapers" anymore, it is still tops in my book.

um it is the king of scrapers... get your mind right, no clone residential congested, post modern and nothing else infested city deserves the crown , its still ours, * wink*

10/10. Grand Daddy of them all!!

300/10 !!!!!!!! :D :D :D

New York is the best city in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I want the towers back!

you don't know...HOW MUCH I ENVY NEWYORKERS!!!!!

Dont mind them
never enough NYC

of course it's one of the best skyline in the world.
fantastic city then i put 10/10.
A lot of beautiful tower.:cheers:

well...uhhhh....ehhh.....mmmm...... 10:happy:

It's the best skyline in the world!

The pictures are no more! Too bad. Those are the best photos I have ever seen of our great city. Is there anyway we can make them "come back?"

10/10 very nice city ibelive

Since I live here, how can I give our city less than a 10?

IMO the city deserves a 7 (I just don't like it that much), but I gave it a 5.5 because of the whining of certain people.

I gave it a 9.0. It is a WONDERFUL skyline, but I think it needs some cccrraazzzzyyy wwwwiiilllddd skyscrapers like the revolutionary ones we see in Shanghai and Hong Kong (and, to a certain extent, in Tokyo, too)

10 !
Great city, great skyline

New York looks perfect. Mayebe it is. 10/10

10/10

The true definition of skyline....10/10

we all know that NYC is the skyscraperking city togheter with HongKong :D 10 out of 10

Along with Hong Kong and Chicago, probably the only one truly deserving a "10".

10! New York invented the modern skyline. It is the epitome of vertical grandeur, filled with so many landmarks, towers, and vistas I don't see how some Chinese imitation could be more popular.

NEW YORK IS THE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD!

The New York Skyline is of course the model of a modern skyline, but I´ll not give it 10 points.
Tow reasons:
1. Many of the towers are relatively old and do not have a great architecture; most towers look boxy and really not modern anymore.
2. The WTC was the heart of the NYC skyline and is now really missing..

Though it seems to be forbidden to vote anything else than 10, I give it 8/10.
:runaway:

9.5/10

i think its more varied than hongkong!

Even without the WTC, I think it's worth 10/10.

Hong Kong has more futuristic skyscrapers (eg. Bank of China Tower, 2 International Finance Center), but New York has the best overall skyline.

The New York is the King and Hong Kong is the Queen. I prefer the Queen;) but both are worth 10.

New york has one of the best skylines in the world 10/10

The best skyline of the whole world, although it would be better if it would have at least 3 or 4 buildings over 400 meters. But this could change in relatively short time because in my opinion Hk and mainly Shanghai are growing faster.

Ik like the old architecture most, but the new scrapers (60 till now) are not special enough in my oppinion. I mis the fresh architecture like in Hong Kong. Still, it's breath taking ofcourse

a 9/10

i'm still speachless.... :O i like the pictures ;) 11/10

10/10 NYC of the chain..Icant wait until the freedom tower is built..

Its a definite skyline in need of tall buildings. I mean Hong Kong has more 1000+ footers. When Freedom Tower and New York Times Tower are completed NY will be back. Plus it needs more buildings in the 800-900 foot area

10/10 still!!!

Such a gorgeous city. When i think "city" i think of this place instantly

10/10 My favorite skyline,great city.

I gave it a 5. I just don't like it very much. Sure, its got a lot of scrapers but seriously all I see are boxes. Not much architecture here. And it's got that huge gap imbetween lower and upper Manhattan, It's like two cities. Not very pleasing to me.

10/10
just too bad about the loss of the majestic twin towers, the downtown skyline isn't the same as it used to be. The wtc brought some variation between those 200 m towers, now it all seems a bit monotonous. I really hope the freedom tower brings back the impressive skyline new york deserves

10 is enough, its the best ever, a place where spiderman can survive. :)

Yep, for density, diversity and depth, there's still more to this one than any other - in so many ways, actually. Its been the inspiration for all others, which I guess is why those appalling shits targeted it. i'll always feel privileged to have had my own times there. 10/10

9.5

It's rival is Hong Hong!

NYC has too many older style buildings

I would of rated it higher if I came to this thread before voting in the Hong Kong one.

10/10
Skylines don't get better than this:okay:. It is one of the world's best along with CHICAGO:master: and Hongkong!

The best skyline in the world.
10/10

10/10

This city is a wonderful place and its skyline is breathtaking. There is a good mix of old and new style buildings, but all with an American flavor. There are so many great buildings here.

The best skyline in the world.
10/10


hong kongs one is better

I had to give it a 10. It is just simply the city you think of when in comes to 'skyscrapercity'. I don't even care for the architecture (i prefer modern buildings) but that doesn't matter, NYC simply is the best. I wish i'd be alive in 100 yrs. By then, NYC will once again be the skyscraper king, even if it is no longer the largest city.

Ofcourse New York gets a 10! It has the best skyline in the world!

10/10....it should not be 9.5 nor 9.999999...this is a perfect 10. Just as good as Hong Kong

I love the incredible massiveness of the skyline of manhattan, and the thickness and density of the skyscrapers. No other city has such tall examples of early skyscraper styles. A whole lotta gems in there. I rated the other two of the big three skylines (HK/CHI) 9.5, and I'll do the same here. But, only because the WTC is gone! When the new WTC stands downtown it will once again be perfect in my eyes. 9.5.... for now...

10/10

a hot well placed 10 of course :cheers:

10+/10

The NYC skyline sets the standard for the rest. It's symply irreplaceable.

Its a 9 for me. The building designs are becoming out of date and all of you know it. Some like, but I dont. The New York life is modern, and so should be the image.

indeed no skyline is better... 10/10

10/10.
It's just all there.
EVERYTHING.

10/10!

what a question!
10/10!

100/10

100/10
:weirdo:

but hes right :)

I am sorry as nice as the city itself is I dont find its skyline 'attractive'

10/10. no discussion.

10/10. I've been there, and it's incredible.

10/10.

Looking at the NY skyline from the top of the ESB, especially the view to the north, is simply the most awesome sight in the world. When I first saw the Grand Canyon, I spent about 10 minutes staring at it. On one of my trips to the 86th floor, I spent more than two and a half hours taking it all in.

You know the scene in the Titanic movie where Jack stands at the tip of the ship and yells: "I am the king of the world!". That is what it feels like to be atop the ESB on a clear day.

well they just cant remove the buildings but i tottally agree throw some wacked out lights on them and ya got something just take a look a hong kong

sure new york has a great skyline but it aint as good as hong kongs, there are many skyscrapers in NY and i really like that but quantity isnt always key, like LA has a very nice skyline, and so does miami, overall i give NY a 8.5 i feel bad cause every post is a 10 pretty much

10! new york is the ssc of the world!

it seems to lost something without the wtc 9.5/10

10/10 for the legend of skyscrapers

9.99 right now. when the building comes in place of the wyc iy a definate 10

10/10 Impossible to evaluate less than this...

ye living in burb of NY i have to give it a 10

Awesome skyline, but "only" 2nd best in the world. The Perfect 10 goes to Hong Kong.
Easy from Germany

nr 1 skyline !!! 10/10 ,

OK the New York skyline is definitely not attractive from a side-on view, but I like the fact that it doesn't just stand there and look pretty - it actually functions as a living and breathing city, and isn't afraid to get its hands dirty. That's what is so good about NY. Plus, it looks amazing when you're actually looking out from IN the city (not that I've been there.) 9/10.

SIMPLY THE BEST, a ten out of ten is not suited for it, maybe a twenty out of ten!
New York, I love NYC!!!! Especially when I watch TRL, the view of Times Square with all the TV monitors, shops, cafes, restos, pubs, bars, TOWERS, and the old, 20s-80's feel. NYC's near perfect! Very clean, cosmopolitan, vibrant, wow, everything in it blends perfectly! I'm so excited for March 2005, here i come NY!

definately 10/10

But I really, really don't understand why some people on this forum vote 3 or less for this skyline. I truly don't understand what those people are doing on this forum, I can understand that you don't like some buildings or some different styles, but as a skyscraperlover you just have to respect this city's history and it's leading role in urban/skyline development.

the 'definitive' skyline of mankind.... even with the loss of the WTC, the skyline is still too large and filled with important bldgs to not be a 10.

9.5/10. Monster skyline, good coastal setting, and a symbol of American influence. Probably the largest CBD skyline in the world.

The thing about NY that turns me off is the Gotham feel.

NYC skyline is the world's best. NO question about it!

My second fav skyline. Just mindblowing and a 10/10 of course.

My favourite in North America! 10/10

I live In New Jersey so I see NYC alot great city something always going on. The skyline has always been one of the world's finest but it's starting to slip against emerging cities like Shanghai,and Taipei. Thought the new Freedom tower just might bring my vote up to a 10.

Voted 8.5 by the way

I'm from Chicago, and New York is undeniably a 10. Only three skylines in the world deserve a 10--New York, Hong Kong, and Chicago

New York of course has two skylines. The reason for this: the island of Manhattan is actually composed of very sturdy bedrock at its southern tip, but that bedrock soon gives way to a soft layer unable to support very tall buildings. Then, the bedrock returns again at Midtown. This is why the skyline of Manhattan is so high at Lower Manhattan, only to lower itself significantly, and then rise back up to incredible heights at Midtown. Imagine if Lower Manhattan and Midtown were continuous? That'd be so amazing. Nevertheless, either Lower Manhattan or Midtown standing alone could blow away most of the competition.

Where I think New York has the edge on Chicago is in the following two respects (and I a lot of Chicago people are going to get on my case for this):
(1) Manhattan has so many mid-range buildings around 10-25 stories that it is able to sustain that dense, canyon feel (that I just dig so much) over a more widespread area. Chicago is definitely very dense, but that density drops off significantly after you get north of North Avenue (although the high-rises apartments continue in force in a thin strip along the lakefront).
(2) Although Chicago is one of the greatest architectural centers in the world, displaying a really broad away of styles, I think Manhattan has a slightly more historical feel to it. This is not to say that Chicago's architecture is not as varied as Manhattan's, but when I look at both skylines as a whole, Manhattan edges Chicago out. I think a strong case can be made for the fact that Chicago is filling in the area north of the Loop, known as River North, with some pretty nondescript architectural catastrophes.

10....was there a couple years ago and it is absolutly breathtaking.

10/10- This is as good as it gets!

a definite 10.
come one lets be serious, all choices below 9 should be removed.

10/10

This is a city!

10/10

:cheers:

New York - so nice they had to name it twice

It's a beautiful skyline. Manhattan Island was well used. I'm sure most of the people giving it a low rating are either jealous or just "want to see what happens." That's very sad guys. I doubt many people honestly think New York deserves a low rating, unless you don't like high-rises or anything. But since this is a skyscraper website, I'm not sure what one would be doing on this site for that reason.

NYC is a 10 for me. Beautiful city.

the best view of NYC is when u drive from inland and you cross a bridge miles away, and on a clear day you can see down the river and accross the bay anf you are met with a giant wall of skyscrapers that covers the whole horizon. blew my socks off.
everyones gotta go to NYC at least once.

its also good to see, a non capital city kicking ass.


:cheers:

One of my 10 favorite skylines, even though the WTC is now gone... Haven't been there before, though...

10/10

Okay, New York City is the only place in the world I want to visit right now. I'm really into architecture, and New York City has a great history in that field. Empire State Building.....Chrysler Building.....even with future projects, such as the Freedom Tower which will be built on the former site of the WTC.

100000....../10
best of the best

yeh NYC is alright ;)

10/10

10/10 you just can't complain at the skyline best in the world. Anyone who has voted under 3 will be in a mental home getting help right now.

"New York City is the greatest damn city in the whole world!" Dave Mathews during his Central Park Concert

New York City is indeed the greatest damn city in the whole world!
20000/10

10! Need I say more?

It goes without saying...of course it's the best skyline in the world. It's the benchmark for all cities to be rated against. It has a wonderful mix of architectural genre's creating a feast for the imagination. One only has to stand anywhere in Manhattan to feel the raw energy take you high.
However, competition should be embraced and it's good to see other cities around the globe "rising" to the occassion.

9.5/10

sad that the WTC isn't there anymore. but the freedom towers should get it back to 10/10 in my book

Excellent skyline!
Best in the world IMO.

9.5/10.....Great skyline, Central Park RULES, melting pot of cultures, and a very lively city. :D

New York, New York, Da big apple and still one of the best skyline in the world but just a bit behind Chicago. When Freedom tower completed, it certainly will be my #1 again! I voted 9.5/10

incredible in pics...
live it's breathtaking!!!
no other words...
10/10!!!

The skyline looks good from a distance but a lot of the scrapers are boring blocks and they seem to look extremely dated these days. I'll give it a 7.

Fantastic. 9.

10/10 completely. :banana2:

remarkable. 10.

Absolutely no question, PERFECT 10/10 for me. Largest city I have ever been to and largest and best looking skyline I have ever seen in my life. :)

The classic skyline- Hong Kongs is kind of ugly and overdoing it- NYC's is more "clean" if you will. Many New Yorkers are moving to Raleigh, NC though, my hometown. LOVE NYC!
:)

10/10, Love it

The most famous skyline in the world... :okay:

The best in the world, no doubt about it. I give it a 10/10. :)

New York has one of the best skylines in the world. I can't wait to see the skyline when the Freedom Tower is completed.

10/10. no wonder its a big 3.

A well deserved 10

The best skyline in the world. 100/10.
The density, the great tall, older skyscrapers, all come together to mix in a beautiful combination.

10/10.... so much density, variety, how could it not be a 10?

6/10.

The greatest. 10/10

The best of the betters

indeed 10

9.5 because of mr ben laden

6/10.


I personally don't like the skyline that much either, but your not being fair! Just a small segment of the skyline deserves a good 9.5!

i really wanna go to NY for my b-day! the only reason i really wonna go and see trump tower, For an American city i did give a 10/10

to be competitive, NYC needs modern skyscrapers like hong kong

is this image real? ive never seen the moon this big before.
http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/500/2404nycwallpaper1.jpg
oh and 10/10. most definately.

Oh yes, I love this city... 9/10. :)

8/10. Very nice skyline.

10 :) THE skyscrapercity of the world

Its New York...nuff said 10/10

Not to appear biased, I voted a 9.5 for my hometown :tongue3:

I love NY so much....

Every year i visit this faboulos city.

10/10 no question for me!

Look at this:

9.5 becasue HK is 10..

The king of all cities! 10/10

10/10

8.5/10

9.5, because I'm biased and (my hometown) Hong Kong deserves the 10.

Heheh.

Beautiful!

10/10...no question about that!

10/10

is this image real? ive never seen the moon this big before.
http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/500/2404nycwallpaper1.jpg
oh and 10/10. most definately.

I'm pretty sure the picture is taken zoomed in towards the moon to make it look big. They do this in alot of movies and pictures to make the sun or moon look huge.

New York is a 10/10- but second to Hong Kong

New York needs more modern skyskrapers, if it gets the combonation of plentiful buildings both historical and modern it will be alot better. Still not better then HK though (b/c 1. I'm biased, and 2. HK has a better natural setting which brings it to a completely separate level from most other skylines)

10/10

10/10. 10 because it's still not a complete overdone skyscraper forest like HK.

hum...is this for real???:D everybody NYC gets 100 out of 10!!!:)

NO city can compare with NYC. 10/10 It's just a magic city and it's hard to describe it.

10/10

Truely the most magnificent skyline in the world!!!

I also gave Chicago a 10/10 because you know that within that skyline are some of the classics. These cities were the birthplace of the skyscrapers.

The best in the world. No other city can compete with the diversity of the NYC skyline.

god-like, 1000000/10 would be not enough, NYC in my master forever, now wrods, just want to be there again and die 4 NY

10/10

9/10 It's almost perfect... Almost! ;)

What can I say?!? 10/10 it's NY, nothing can beat NY:)

10/10....just can't mess with this city....i'm proud to cal it my home :) and i didnt give NYC a 10 cuz its my home...but cuz it deserves it...its been the best..it is the best...and it is goin to remain the best

This is NEWYORK for god's sake....of course 10/10

Every great city skyline will get some a-hole who will rate it under 4...just people who have something against a city or got nothing better to do. But in all fairness it balances out the ones who give 10/10 for the only reason that they live there and not because they actually believe the skyline deserves it.
NYC is an exception though. One of the best skylines there is

9.5!

10 for sure!!

10/10 Perfect density and beautiful towers

It's NYC for God's Sake, how could I vote it less than 10.

Yet still 93 people rate it 3 or less.

The world`s capital city...! 10 points..!

:cheers:

10/10 , don't think i've to clarify myself

No other city is more symbolized by the skyscraper than NY.

10 out of 10.

The classic skyline, and yet so much more to come. There is nowhere that suits bold, imposing towers more than New York. No matter how tall, it is appropriate in NYC. Some cities build huge towers to justify their existence, without having the substance to back up their architectural ambitions, but New York merits the biggest and the best!

10/10

I give Hong Kong and Chicago the edge over New York for Skyline views from a distance. However, if this poll were to rate the view from street level I feel New York is no. 1. (9/10)

8/10. Skyline is good. Barely comparable with Hong Kong or Chicago.

Manhattan is one giant museum of the entire history of the skyscraper. So what if Hong Kong has more, it will never have the diversity and heritage of NYC's skyline.

10/10

10/10! No question!

New York has the second best skyline in the world.
How can you vote less than 10.
10/10

9/10....it´s a great skyline but there´s a lot old,dirty and ugly scrapers too....

I would give it an 11 if I could. The best there is, the best there was, the best there will ever be.

10 outer 10.

10/10

10/10

Even without the twin towers, it's still worth 10/10, easily.

beautiful

10/10

its absolutely worth 10/10 i would like my city to get to the top of the list to but i dotn knock off other cities to get there the ppl who voted under 3 are rediculous its totally a joke no one can vote nyc under a 5 i vote 10/10

10/10! GREAT SKYLINE!

The best for me ... 10/10

New York City's scattering skyline leaves the world speechless. This city has to be one of the most top notched cities in the world, with a staggering average of 7.5 million people in one city. This is the true centre piece, and everyone knows about this city as well. With its skyscraper palace kingdom, there is no stopping the city from being what it is.
Though, I would like to prefer Hong Kong in terms of skyscraper quality in age, but New York has more, making it look like a close full of goodies piled up all in a good row. Another thing is that some areas of the city look outdated, including some of the buildings they have, not the skyscrapers, they are fine. New York looks like it is dingy in the day time with some really old apartment buildings. But it can't be compete though, New York is the big apple.
It's a good city for Spiderman. 10/10

9.5! just a close second to Hong Kong coz of the numbers & harbour view.

9.5/10

Just behind Hong Kong.

9,5
just behind HK
love the older buildings

This one should only deserves a full mark
10/10!

I love the architecture, the city looks classy

9.5/10

It's not about quantity, but quality. Believe you me, NYC has both.
I give it a 8 - 8.5 It looks absolutely amazing! However, honestly, in my opinion, NYC needs to get away from the capitalist boxy 50 storey buildings, and go for something more elegant. The only example I can think of right now is Swiss Re in London (com'on I see it everyday!). But really, world class. Just add some curves to that skyline and you'll be building to the moon next!

Brilliant city, brilliant skyline, brilliant architecture. Especially my two favourites, The Empire State Builing, and off course, which may not be officially true but I refer it to TESBs younger brother, the Chrysler Building.
Just look at it!

I agree that the recent high-rises in NYC could be more adventurous, but I still rate it a 10.0 due to the sheer size and historical variety of buildings (1900's buildings, 1920's, 1950's-'60s, 1980s', and recent all have distinct designs and styles). The bridges and the rivers only add to the appeal.

9.5/10. Needs a modern supertall.

Classic...9.5/10

Amazing. 10/10

10/10 Without a doubte

12/10 :D simply the best city

Just for sheer anything-goes sprawling volume, you have to give it a 10.

This is a pretty fascist poll. Even the moderators are trying to sway votes.

10/10

No need for explanation! 10/10!!!!!

10/10

10/10 of course

7/10. The sprawling volume is impressive for a little while.

LOL @ 115

New York is damn great....totally perfect. Em...the top three skylines. How come Manila is on it and now chicago is no. 4? and singapore no. 5??
