Top Twenty European Skylines

[CityHai]

TOP EUROPEAN SKYLINES:

1. FRANKFURT (HIGH, DENSE, MODERN)
2. PARIS (DENSE, MODERN)
3. LONDON (MANY BULDINGS)
4. WARSZWA (MODERN)
5. BERLIN (MANY BULDINGS COMING UP NEXT YEARS)
6. MOSKOW (MANY BULDINGS COMING UP NEXT YEARS)
7. ROTTERDAM (MANY BULDINGS COMING UP NEXT YEARS)


ANYWAY: ISTANBUL -> NOTHING TO DO WITH EUROPE !!!!!

[messiah]

Idiot!I would understand if you say "Turkey has nothing to do with Europe" but Istanbul is located in europe.

[Kampflamm]

How can you put Berlin ahead of Moscow and Rotterdam?!

[messiah]

This is the proof of what I said in my last post

[Ubo]

1 Frankfurt
2 Paris, London, Stanbull

[Kingsken]

Brussels deserves a spot in the top 10! At least if you look at all the buildings together

[Matthieu]

1. Franfurt, big and beautyfull

2. Paris, middle sized and very beautyfull

3. Istanbul, large and yes Istanbul is in Europe.

4. London, actually 4th, but catching up

5. Warsaw, nice but not so great

6. Moscow, catching up but not yet so great

7. Rotterdam, nice but not as important as than the others

8. Benidorm, ugly but dense.

The rest doesn't matter much.


In 2010

1st: Moscow, impressive supertall and very moderns.

2nd. Franfurt, depending is MAX, Millenium tower and other stuffs are built.

3rd. London, maybe 2nd depending of Franfurt projects.

4th. Istanbul

5th Paris

6th Warsaw

7th Madrid (with the 4 talls towers, not much a skyline but they will be so nice)

8th Rotterdam

9th Benidorm

with minerva, lime street, lbt, and 110 bishopsgate, heron plaza all looking at starting in the next six months london overtakes frankfurt and every other european city by a long way. assuming columbus starts too and if the word about 122 leadenhall is true too then the lead grows even more.
so next year london will have the following buildings u/c for sure -
310m - LBT
216m - Minerva
183m - 110 Bishopsgate
125m - Lime Street
and possibly these ones -
239m - Columbus Tower
226m - Leadenhall Building

I really don't understand why people put Warsaw and Moscow before Rotterdam. Not because I'm dutch, but just check out the view:








I'm sorry, but Moscow and Warsaw just can't beat that right now!
And London neither.
I'm not saying that those cities aren't beautiful, because they are, but skyline-wise, Rotterdam is better.

I can say I don't understand why anyone put Rotterdam before Warsaw. It depends only on impressions.

Some people like Warsaw skyline more than Rotterdam, some people think that Rotterdam skyline is better - no problem.

I like Warsaw skyline more (probably is also becouse of the fact that it's my home city )

Warsaw skyscrapers are higher, and Palace of Culture makes the skyline very unique

[Bass]

If only it would be more dense... I agree that it's just a matter of opinion... but come on, Moscow!

[Raddie]

Yeah matter of opinion. I haven't been to Warsaw yet but I don't really like the towers, they're a bit blocky. Which one, Warsaw or Rotterdam? I can't tell, judging on pictures easily Warsaw, but Rotterdam looks way better in real life (which is pretty special). But maybe that's also so for Warsaw.

It will be more dense in 2005 after completion of Rondo 1 and Golden Terraces.



Rondo 1






Golden Terraces

rudi, thats because contracts have to be awarded, sites have to be demolished before construction starts. in the uk this alone takes about six months. normally construction seems to start a year after approval.
right now demolition is underway for lime street (125m) and is scheduled for lbt from july, minerva from november, columbus is expected to start in october, 110 bishopsgate early next year.
we're back to the situation we were in in 2001. we ended up with six towers u/c within six months of that

i only believe in a skyscraper when i see it rising.

however, by saying london overtakes any other european city, do you mean by buildings u/c or by the actual skyline?

[Petr]

Rudi is simply jealous of London.

[Raddie]

I also yet have to see London developing. It's not like I don't believe all the 'scrapers going up but still... I think Canary Wharf's skyline will never be that good (I don't like CW at all). The city's skyline is superduper tho

No he see things realistic - and he see .... nothing.
