Most Beautiful Modern City
What is the most beautiful modern city, in your opinion? By which I mean cities dominated by post-war architecture. Not necessarily cities with no historical buildings at all (eg somewhere like Berlin or Dublin or New York has a historical base with huge modern regeneration) but what city generally speaking is the greatest success of modernist and postmodernist architecture?
My top 5 would be: Vancouver, Canada  Berlin, Germany image hosted on flickr  Dubai, UAE  Almere, Netherlands  Kuopio, Finland

The cities I am talking about are New cities that only existed as small towns or villages prior to the mid 20th century, or ones which have grown beyond all recognition within the past 50 years: Hong Kong, Dubai, Vancouver, and especially planned cities like Brasilia and Almere. |

How is it possible that some of the members here name Frankfurt as most Beautifull modern City?
I've been twice to Frankfurt. I can say it has an impressive Skyline for European standards, but the City itself isn't modern at all! I'm from Rotterdam and can say that Rotterdam is a 1000 time more modern than Frankfurt. London has a lot of Modern parts as well. So does Berlin. Besides the European Cities I mentioned, I find Melbourne pretty modern. There must be over 10 Chinese Cities which are modern as well. |

Interesting that people put Hong Kong so often as beautiful. Hong Kong has an amazing setting and some amazing bridges and skyscrapers but the city on street-level is not beautiful.
In Asia I would go for Singapore with regards to modernity that is good looking. Most large Asian cities are not really beautiful.
