A skyscraper is a tall, continuously habitable building. There is no official definition or height above which a building may clearly be classified as a skyscraper. Most cities define the term empirically; even a building of 80 meters (262 feet) may be considered a skyscraper if it protrudes above its built environment and changes the overall skyline.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyscraper

^ Are you being serious? You were talking about skylines and not -scrapers

A skyscraper has to be at least 200m tall if you go by SSC standarts. By that meaning both Berlin and Birmingham (or any city in GER and UK except of Frankfurt and London) doesn't have a single skyscraper (and thus no skyline?). If you only count "skyscrapers" as part of the skyline Frankfurt (5) and London (2) don't have that many themselves (only counting built and T/O buildings).

As far as a building is 100m above i would call it a skyscraper, this is also acknowledged by wikipedia. So basically according to this definition London currently has 44 skyscrapers that are (100m+), 12 skyscrapers (100m+) are under construction, another 45 skyscrapers (100m+) have been approved. OK dears i would not call a very tall church spire or transmitter a skyscraper, and i would not against your opinion either. I think Paris has more (100m+) buildings. Anyway, great to see a cool night shot of Berlin there, thank you for all your contribution.

Hey, it is so unusual to see no pictures from Stockholm from you. Anyway, the ones you showed are really good, too.

You are Surprised?

For too long time, Milan looked like a dead city, but finally, in 2005, the city government has put an end to this fast of skyscrapers and they approved this project.
Finally, Milan will have his financial district.

Somehow I always knew that this was eventually gonna happen in Milan.
I had a hunch about this already 20 years ago.
The same thing with Frankfurt.
Great to see that this is finally coming true for this city as well now!
Forza!
