Let me post some pics of our neighbors to the south.
Tijuana is one of the fastest growing cities in Mexico with only 100 years of history.

Only two towers are good... I don't like the city.

4.0

10/10 :colgate:

Two quite nice towers and nothing more :sly: 4.5/10

The city of Tijuana has lots of contrasts. Yet it has a pretty nice areas with good hotels, restaurants, gardens, malls and... some towers.

These are nice photos of the city!

The important thing in this city is to improve SECURITY. That would bring many more visitors and investments, because it is very close to the richest state of the richest country in the world.

6.5/10

hmm.. another boring mexican city?? i dont see any new construction from the picture in this fastest growing city in mexico. only two average tower. 4/10

no skyline....3 or less

5/10

I've heard a lot about this city.I think it serves as a gateway for drugs into the US.
The skyline is non-existent so 3/10

Nice photos of the city .. even i never heard about it before

The skyline is quite OK

7.5/10

How on earth is TJ's ranking so high? It is ahead of Vancouver and Auckland. I've been to TJ many times. It doesn't have much of a skyline. Very few medium height bldgs and no very talls. Strange score for this thread. I'm sorry to say that this thread tarnishes the credibility for the entire forum. No one promised me it would be full proof. But reality bites.

WHERE'S THE SKYLINE? BTW the twins look very good

It is my natal city, is my pride, Tijuana lives...10/10 :) :cheers:

Poor skyline... 4,5/10

It's so very ugly!! The worst I've seen in my life!!! 1/10

There are some interesting buildings, and some areas seem pretty nice. I have seen worse cities. I gave it a 7.

That is a great comment.... Thanks... :) To the guy above your comment what can I say, there is ignorant people even in Canada....... How sad...

:cheers:

Hey how dare you call me ignorant!! It's stupid to call me that because of what I think of Tijuana's skyline because believe me I'm not lieing to myself because I really hate it's skyline that much and that's just my oppinion!!! Ok the city might be a very friendly and clean place to live and other good things but that has nothing to do with what I think of it's skyline!! Because honeslty this poll is only for it's skyline not how good you think the city is!!!

So, we are rating on these 2-4 towers?

to his called a skyline???
it´s horrible
2/10

Putting houses and buildings on a hill does not make them taller. 2/10.

Well, it seems that some people don't know nothing about Tijuana, in the first place let me tell you that is one of the fastest growing cities in the world, in 25years we are going to duplicate the number of inhabitants to 3 millions, but the size is going to be superior in a lot of ways, because the people that inmmigrates don't have the money to pay a new house or used house the build they own outside the city, this city grows like Cairo in Egipt, Horizontally, not in a Vertical way, so the pair of skylines you see there are rare in this city, but not in the neightborg one, San Diego California, well, another thing I can tell you is that it's being bulilt the 3rd in the world tallest cathedral, after the Sagrada Familia in Spain and anotherone that hasn't been built in Tlaquepaque, Jalisco, México, it's a fast growing city, and it's kind of a new one, it has only 115 years, well, that's it, if someone have questions or stuff, tell me.

TIJUANA... a great city...!

Last time I visited Tijuana was almost 10 years ago so I really dont know if the cit modernized from then. But as of 10 years ago I wouldn't even bothe with the city. But it looks ALOT better than how it was from the pics. Personally I hate all border cities (both mexican and american) excet for San Diego.

That last picture its a good one... i think it was taken from San Diego.

The last shot surprise me . I have a question. All does proyects are from citie's downtown or for the suburbs.

i used to think that Tijuana was 'god's vomit' like all the other border cities of N. Mexico. But these pictures changed my mind. I didnt think it was as green as I see it in these pictures.

7.5/10 for me

That's why I love SSC It helps to remove some of the ignorance in some people....

Commute to the OJ from the TJ!

Nice city but the skyline rather weak
for now only 5/10
we'll see in the future :okay:

Although, I've only been to the city twice in my 13 years of terrestrial existance, the twins do look awfully tall from their base. Tj is a city with a very urban tone, and fast pased too. The skyline is a bit dissapointing, but you have to take in mind that the city is in a poor country, and that it's only less than a hundred years old.

Hey SDTJ, I'll give you 300 bucks if you make a Mexicali poll with pictures of the skyline. Please!!!

Hey, Mexico is not a poor country is under development and is the 9th economy in the world.

Me acabo de meter a este thread y me doy cuenta que los chicos Tijuanenses tienen mucho orgullo por su (nuestra) lo cual esta super bien, pero no por eso uno tiene que estar ciego ante la realidad. La verdad es que en Tijuana no hay mucho skyline que digamos solo unos cuantos edificios altos.
Supongo que esto cambiara con los anios ya que actualmente se empiezan a anunciar algunos proyectos importantes que le daran a la ciudad un verdadero skyline.

Theres a handful of buildings u/c or approved there, right? It doesn't look like much now, but it will slowly but surely improve.

Poor? Mexico its between the first 12 economies in the world. Badly distributed will be a better the word Please check this thread

and see all th construction project going on the capital probably more than any other american city with the exception of Metro Miami or several of its megalopolis.

6/10 It kinda lacks in highrises, but has a modest skyline.

5.5/10 Empty.

Sorry I have to give this one a 5.

Although I heard good things about the city. :)

estoy muy de acuerdo contigo . . .

Tijuana looks so brown from google earth. But the drug lords should built skyscraper offices.

Tijuana is Mexico's ugliest city

sorry for being truthful

Sorry for being so truthful but you both take the first price for ignorant and dumb.

5, average

Nunca pense que Tijuana tubiera una poblacion tan grande. Tenia la imprecion que era una ciudad pequena, parece que estaba yo muy equivocado. No puedo decir mucho de los edificios, casi no hay, pero de todos modos se ve mejor de lo que yo esperaba. Le doy un 6.5 por el momento, talvez despues de la construccion de todos aqueyos proyectos le dare una mejor calificacion.

All I see is the enormous difference between social classes. From what I see in the pictures, you're either a rich man living in some condinium or poor and living in some small hut.

I have a strange feeling the skyscrapers are all built by mafia lords, but I'm probably wrong since I don't know jack-shit about the place.

4/10

How many people live in Tijuana and commuter daily in San Diego? (or vice versa). I guess cost of living and specially housing costs must be much more cheaper in TJ than in SD metro area, and maybe some North-Americans live in Tijuana since it's cheaper. Is it that way?

8/10- very nice but it needs a bigger skyline. that canal-like thing looks alot like the 1 in LA.

Most of you have a grown idea about TJ. Drug lords prefer to build houses o make another kind of bussiness, but they dont build buildings. Most of them arent from the city, they are, like 50% of the population, from another part of Mexico or of the world. You should visit our forum:

I dont have numbers but you are right. A lot of people cross the border daily, it could be to TJ or USA. SD of course, is more expensive than TJ.

AUNQUE PARA SER LA CIUDAD MAS CHILANGA DE LA FRONTERA

ESPERO CONOCER PRONTO TIJUANA Y LA BAJA

isnt the pop. of tj like 6-8 million? for a town of this size i give it a 4/10. it's really not good.

After the Mexican Revolution ended my great grandfather came to live in this small town of Tijuana with a few wooded houses that reminded you of a wild west town.
Well in reality thats what it was, in this small dusty town of wooden sidewalks and gas lamps with busy bars and saloons and federal military fort, and its local jail was one of the last wild west towns in North America,you could find the new land owners most of them Immigrants to this land some from Jalisco state other from Northen Mexico,some Italians,Japanease,German,English and Chinese made up this wild west town,you could cross the purely artificiall frontier to the U.S. with no papers and manny did since most of the provision came from the U.S.,Mexico City was to far away and even the population was not familiar in the use of mexican currancy,every thing was in U.S. dollars,all the buildings in the city where built in the American style and not in the traditional Mexican way of building even the planning of the city was based on a American city plan.


Im a 3rd Generation Tijuana born citizen,and yet in my life i lived many years in Beverly Hills,CA and in the City of La Paz BCs and they all have there own charm and beauty,but none the less i always belived this city of Tijuana to be my thru home.
To many it might seem ugly at a first glance but theres much more to it then a regular city,Tijuana its unique full of flavor and color, even Mexicans dont understand it,and its often refer as Tijuana the thrid nation.

I agree with many people that they say its ugly at first glance,you would need to lived in Tijuana a few years to beging to understand its beauty. and fall in love with it,its like been in loved with an ugly woman.

Yes there many poor areas of Tijuana since we have VERY FAST immigration rate,but most of the people dont live in condos or in huts,we live in houses ,i my self live in a 3 bedroom 2 bath house,kithchen laundry room and big front yard with my dog,my family is traditional midle class Mexican family like most in Tijuana and in Mexico,and about druglords well i never had come across one,and in my many years living here i never been robed or been a victim of crime ,thank god for that.

6.5 A few tall skyscrapers that are spread out. It's not a terrible skyline, but still not great. BTW some people need to tone down their comments, this is a SKYLINE rating thread not a 'how shitty I think this place is' thread. There's no need to start talking about drug lords or mafia bosses, they have nothing to do with the appearance of the skyline.

^^Yes, you are right. Just put if you like or dislike it.

Its better than Juarez.....

As Mexico develops...will Tijuana see more development and modernise, with demand for office space and higher liveing conditions? Or does it seem that it will struggle for a long time with its "catch-up" development...ie. never getting better just barely keeping up?

The person who proposed Tijuana must be very enthusiastic, the city is horrible, and i know what Tijuanenses gonna say, has a big PIB one of the best in the country, but when i go to Tijuana the image doesnt reflect that.

Its the most caotic city ive ever been, the climate feels like insecurity.

I hope this can be improved.
