This is going to be very, very close between NY and HK I think...

spyguy · May 8th, 2005, 10:33 PM

Let's make some bets:
The poll choices will be HK, NYC, and Chi

Then it'll end up:
New York-45%
Hong Kong-35%
Chicago-20%

Why discuss something that has been discussed so many times before?

Lets use something like best skyline outside USA and China.

Good idea!
I agree with you.

New York and Hong Kong - everything else far off if you like skyscraper skylines

neilio · May 11th, 2005, 05:19 PM

i honestly think toronto is one of the best and soon to be the best, its not height, mass or over all quantity of skyscrapers that do it for me, the skyline has to have a distinctive shape and look to it and i think Toronto's is amazing looking, it looks planned the way it is laid out and isnt as random as NewYork or sydney, and yes i am an artist so i see things differently then allot of other people.

Anymodal · May 15th, 2005, 10:25 PM

i never can decide between NY and HK

Bombay Boy · May 29th, 2005, 09:23 PM

hk quite easily. in a much more striking setting as well

pablofarrugia · June 19th, 2005, 02:51 AM

i think an underdog should win this. ie Toronto

NY beats HK because it has the classical alure of a skyline. With a blend of old and new skyscrapers into one. HK is modern, and its buildings looks similar to a majority of the buildings around the world

Butcher · June 19th, 2005, 03:14 AM

I think that Hong Kong is going to win this over NYC by a small margin. Personally, I like both about the same.

Siopao · June 25th, 2005, 12:01 AM

Hong Kong is the best in the world.. NO DOUBT

NY is ok but then its getting old, no offense to the fellow New Yorkers

I agree .. but HK still the best

ironchapman · June 25th, 2005, 12:09 AM

I prefer Chicago because of some of its buildings and the way it looks when seen from Lake Michigan.

Desven · June 25th, 2005, 01:28 PM

NYC is the best i think!

xXPimpinPunjabiXx · June 25th, 2005, 03:45 PM

NYC's skyline is old...but unlike HK, it has old skyscarpers and new glass beauties too..whereas HK has same kinda of skyscarpers....either the tall white appartment buildings or a tall glass building....new york has a variety and has every kind of skyscarper....so yeah...NYC RULES !

HK is still nice tho

redstone · June 30th, 2005, 10:22 AM

I honestly think NY's skyline is pretty much a majority of brown skyscrapers of roughly the same shape.....
