8.5/10 ;)

Architecture: 6
Organization: 3
Denisty:8
Attractiveness:4
Overall:5.5

Very brasilian looking, resembles Guarujá and Balneario Camboriu style

8/10

Wow
8/10

dull scrapers, with the exception of a couple blue glassed ones 6.5/10

I'm surprised :)
It's really dense, but I don't like the design of scrapers...
7.5/10

9/10

8/10

One of the best Middle Orient Skylines, i like it a lot

9/10

That water is so clean!!

Wish Lake Ontario was like that :cry: :cry:

I would rate the city pretty high for organization and density...but as for skyscrapers and skyline...I'd say it's a modest 6.5

The skyline is one of the best in Middle East and I really like the design of those skyscrapers !!

The city will change a lot very soon !!

9/10

7.5/10 :)

8/10


Nice skyline and some really nice towers.


:okay:

I gave it a 7-10 but I like other middle easter cities like Dubai :)

Very nice and unexpected skyline. 8/10

Looks more green than Dubai!

Does this city boom like Dubai?

i gave it a 7 it looks nice

8.5

I love it!
10/10

just cool, amazing to see so many buildings, becasue the popultion is not even 1 million

Great city, 8/10

Very dense and some nice new modern scrapers. Hopefully some even taller ones will go up here soon.
8.5/10

Clean city with a nice skyline. Second in the country after Dubai, of course. I hope to see great things from this city in the future. It has always amazed me. I give it a 8/10. :okay:

It has some nice density and some buildings are interesting. Others, however, have that cheesy look typical of some Middle Eastern skylines like Dubai.

7.5/10.

10/10, Excellent skyline, well dense, how could you not like it?

feels like home for most of the people, i even get this feeling, but it is boring for me, kind of depressing, still 8.5 for its cozyness:) (hope i spelt it right)

Looks good. Better than Dubai IMO. Just a note, that link to skyscraperpage, that unknown skyscraper on the top right of the first page is actually Vison Tower which is to begin construction in Brisbane, Australia later this year. :)

6.5/10. Very dense but the architecture isnt great.

nice city with some projects in the pipleline
too many old and small towers imo, but great density, would give it a 6.5 for now

8/10

Horrible architecture. 5/10

wow, i didnt expect to seeing such a skyline which looks compact and pretty large for this city!!!! Its such a big surprise for me !!! cool !!!

8.5/10. Unexpectedly good. :)

hate those buildings, but overall nice skyline
8/10

Better than Dubai. 8

10/10

9/10

wow very nice an 8

I give it a 9/10

7/10. Nice mix of condos.

NOW 6/10

Nothing to do with Dubai , but is quite good some good glass buildings 7.0

I've been to the place and loved it. 10/10!!

AD very well planned city :)
9.5/10

very organized and well planned indeed

Abu Dhabi looks like every other city in UAE; clean, modern and organized.

Woow all the buildings are very well designed. I give it a 9/10

I forgot to mention what I voted.
10/10 :)

too many midrises if they had some supertalls that would be cool

7.5/10
A bright city!
I assent to warning's view. Real skyscrapers are missing in Abu Dhabi right now.
But this will change dramatically in the future.

^^ what a great picture :eek:

Pretty impressive 7/10

9/10

Nice skyline and some really nice buildings... 10 points

:) outstanding. I loved this city tour. the fine detail to the buildings is very nice. i think that this city is alown in that regard. they may all be nearly the same in highth, but all different in style of cladding. when some of the new towers are complete it will be a benifit to have the dence field of smaller ones to comlpement them. i give it a 10 because i just realy love the look of the city and its location. the walkways are the nicest in the world as well. great stuff Abu Dhabi. 10/10 the low votes come from lowly voters.

8/10

8/10 added some points for it being so close to the waterfront and those weird circle things coming out of the water.

7/10
no significant architecture
all are plain, glass and somewhat similar

the nigh-lighting is good though

United Arab Emirates has nice cities. Abu Dhabi and Dubai both have nice skylines. I give it an 8. Unfortunately it can't beat Dubai.

Nice skyline!!!8.510

nothing but woooow :)

It's too planned looking. Nothing really stands out.
