As the title suggested this thread is for all English speaking cities only, so bring it on and list your top 10, 20 or 30 here.

Of course not. Do you think France and Mali share as many things in common as Australia and US do, or even France and Quebec? Especially about how their cities look like. And about adding London, well, London's skyline is getting closer and closer to american ones than to other european ones.

We are reaching a certain point where it looks more coherent to put London with America than with Europe (at least according to skylines, not talking about brexit here lol).

Though adding London isn't mandatory. But about replacing Mexico by Australia and New Zeeland, it sounds really more logical to me.


And actually, being from french part of Belgium, why not a ranking with France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland, but the pictures on that thread wouldn't be very impressive haha

And at least Québec and Monaco, if you don't want to add French speaking Africa.
It would be a bit less pitiful ! :lol:

And what about Canada, France, Belgium, etc.?

UK skylines are just as insignificant compared to American Skylines.

I think London has one of the best skyline in the world.

Sure you can open whatever threads you want, either French or German speaking nations skyline would be fine with me.

What about Hong Kong and it's skyscrapers, that was built by Britain, then it was handed back to China few years ago
20 yrs ago nobody here would have put London in their top 10 Anglo-Saxon skylines.
Now many people put in their top 10. In 15 yrs it might be top 5 or more for a lot.

Australian and Canadian skylines are far ahead than continental European ones

Your comment is off topic but fyi, most skyscrapers in HK were constructed way after the British left in 1997 thats a loooong 22 years ago.

that's obvious:nuts:

So 22 years is "a few"?

Also, it's too bad that the off-topic posts were deleted in the North American thread, now we'll never know who it was that suggested this topic (unless Yellow Fever wants to go back to find that person :D).
