not very accurate. Tokyo has three other cities added. If Seoul include
Suwon and the satellite cities in Gyeonggi-do (Seongnam, Goyang, Ansan, Anyang, Guri,
Bucheon, Paju, Hanam, Yongin etc) it sure has a lot more <90m than Tokyo

These kinds of ranking gives you the rough idea (as to say..... Juneau Alaska vs. Hong Kong) but if the difference is less than that.. well, pretty much useless.

Take for instance, emporis (http://www.emporis.com/en/bu/sk/st/sr/) or diserio (http://www.diserio.com/top15-skylines.html).


This can be very well turn into city vs. city.

Just know that once the thread starts turning into a city vs. city, I'll lock it.

Not city vs city.

I think this topic is just for fun.
Theres few Korean who think having many taller skyscrapers represent developement sophistication today.

(used to be so many in the past during developing days )
