Moscow is the Russian Capital, which became a huge city(over 9 million habitants) during the Soviet regime.
The city containts the 2st tallest free standing structurein the world(Ostanikino Tower).
The city skyline is based on beautiful churches(like the one in the red square) and wedding cake tall buildings-
very unique combination of two contradictory beliefs- Communism and Religion.

Moscow has a bit of an image problem in the west. Bleak, depressing, cold, drab, poor, etc. This thread proves that Moscow is rapidly modernizing and is booming. As a Canadian, and citizen of another northern country, the development of Moscow intrigues me. A large northern metropolis outside of Canada offers interesting comparisons.

I have little doubt that Moscow will one day have the best skyline in Europe. London and Paris seem to be building tall lately, but Moscow seems to have the potential to surpass both of these skylines.

Errm, I dunno... For sure, they're buildin a lot up there, but I don't see a good concept on this. It needs more dense, quality, height - But the Sisters add a remarkable charme to it, very special... Tough decision. :colgate:

I think I go well with a 7.5/10

at 124m high this bridge will be part of skyline, plus, there will be a cafe/ observation deck at the top with a view of the IBC

more " a view from above" than a skyline, but I do not want to start a new thread because of this... plus Moscow State U is a building that is a skyline by itself

taken from one of New Arbat highrises, from about 100 m
