One should also consider Moscow and their World Trade Center complex under transformation. It will compliment the old Stalinist "seven sisters" situated nicely at various points in Moscow.
And where is Dallas? They have a very wide variety of architecture, and I would not hesitate to put them above Chicago. Dubai certainly deserves to be in the top 3, maybe even Number one. The problem is that the world is not used to thinking of the Middle East as a place with great skylines.
@DeedsResearcher dude not only middle east go to far east, the thing is americans are less obsessed with living in cities these days. they like working in suburbs with boring (one type large houses) with backwards, and working calm and quiet silicon valley type places. But in Asia the development is all happening in the big big cities , all of it in humongous downtowns, thus people spend more on buildings then houses..
@DeedsResearcher The problem is people in the US thinks the ME is a shit hole period, when it is not. Ever see Iran? Beautiful. Palestine was once beautiful before the State of Israel was formed and they tore everything down to pave way for themselves.

Sorry, but NYC is not even close to the best skyline in the world these days, and in fact looks kind of old...and by old, I do not mean in a good, historic, kind of way, but more like an out-of-date kind of way. And I'm a US citizen saying this.
Once upon a time I would've had Chicago on my top 5, but its skyline is beginning to look dated. Hancock center & Sears/Willis towers are ugly which doesn't help as they're the two most prominent towers in the skyline. Had Chi-town built the Chicago Spire things may be different.

@MrFattyfatfatboy Chicago is the birthplace of skycrapers. Why does it stand out ? Because no building looks similar to it. Its a classic, and will always be. Live with it. The Willis(Sears) tower and John Hancock look very different, thats why. And its by lake Michigan.Chicago is the 6th global city in the world, and drives markets all around the world. Its not 'poor'. The tropics ?... There are cheap places in the tropics. New York is not in the tropics, but extremely expensive, so is London.
new york city has a lot of skyscrapers, but lets be honest when it comes to beauty its the chinese, i saw between shanghai or hong kong to be number 1
SHIT-CAGO shouldn’t even be on this list!! A bunch of boring boxes surrounding a filthy lake…that constitutes a great skyline?? NOT!!! Whereas NEW YORK has an amazing skyline that spans the entire island of MANHATTAN!!
ok...you are exactly the same as TLJAWSIMIB. if i didn't know any better, you might actually be the same person with two different accounts, because the two of you sure sound similar with equally ignorant statements. you accuse people of not knowing the facts, yet you spout nonsense like Chicago has "boring boxes." i doubt you've ever been there. i'm a Chicagoan and as i've told your buddy TLJ, i also love NY. quit being disrespectful and let people enjoy their city
I just think it's fucking sad that in these times, a city needs hundreds of tall builds to be recognised as a good city. Nobody wants to visit beautiful, old-fashioned cities anymore.
@ThroughRock Ah Stupid!! Skyscrapers are a stamp of human ingenuity…it gives a city its character…Also, when you have limited space, vertical cities are the only option…whereas shitholes like los angeles, Houston, and any other pathetic excuse for a city in America’s southwest do more to damage the earth and it’s environment by infesting as much of an area with boring “cookie cutter” neighborhoods spreading as far as possible.
NYC is natural... as it's mostly located in Manhattan, a small island in the middle of NYC! they build such buildings because limited space they've got over there! Hong Kong is quite pure too :)
hong kong has more skyscrapers than new york city, and the why the chinese goverment is constructing new skyscrapers, in no time soon shanghai and other major chinese cities with have skylines surpassing new york
@jetstream601 technically dubai has more skyscrapers.. but truth be said, the most live city is new york.. then hong kong.. then dubai..
and its true.. u don't need huge skyscrapers if no one is to live in them.. right?? therefore the city, even though it would look big and cool, it will look dead.. which means it's lost its meaning of a city.. therefore, i disagree with your statement.. i'm not saying hong kong doesn't have an amazing skyline, just so you wont understand me wrong..
@jetstream601 for now, however, new york is having a major construction boom. WTC complex is being built, One57, Hudson Rail Project, Penn Plaza, Manhattan West, 432 park, and others and these are just the buildings >1000 feet
@VampireBoy1900 WHY DOES EVERYBODY HATES NEWYORK CITY SO DAMN MUCH!?. SERIOUSLY!!!!!. IT REALLY MAKES ME ANGRY AS MOTHERFUCKING HELL NOW!!!!. SERIOUSLY!!!!!.
@TLJAWSIMIB RELAX DUDE!!! People are just jealous...it's true...i call it the Jan Brady Complex...or inferiority complex...If you ever watched the Brady Bunch, Jan was always so jealous of her older, prettier, smarter and more talented sister...."Marcia, Marcia, Marcia...why does everyone love Marcia more than me" Wah! well it's true for ALL the LOW LIVES that put NEW YORK down...especially those ASSHOLES who base their opinions on a 1970's Scorsese movie and never stepped foot on NEW YORK SOIL.
@TLJAWSIMIB no problem buddy...we gotta stick together...cause i'm just as sick of hearing ppl bad mouth nyc....i've been to a lot of cities all over the world...and they all have their good qualities and their bad...just like ny...but for me no city gives me that adrenaline rush of energy like new york.
@geo31522 DID YOU KNOW THAT CHICAGO IS NAMED AFTER A WILD ONION!?. &!. THERE GREAT FIRE CAUSED BY A COW KNOCKING A CANDLE ON THE FLOOR!?. HOW EMBARRASING IS THAT!,
so? we're not embarrassed at all. what the hell does that have to do with how the city is today??? if anything, the fire was a blessing since it allowed the city to invite architects from all over to go nuts, rebuild and give it a unique skyline. quit being so fucking disrespectful.
also, you realize that the "story" about the cow starting the fire was just a story? the reporter at the time admitted he made that up, and it was a false tale. you claim you know Chicago? do your research. i doubt you or your friend geo31522 have ever been to Chicago so neither of you have any right to talk ill of the place. you two hate people talking bad about NY, yet you act like that. you guys are giving NY a bad name, nice job geniuses.
that's great, but it doesn't mean you are absolutely correct in you opinion. i've been to NY several times for work and vacation, my first time there i wasn't impressed at all. so does that make me right? you have your opinion, and i'll respect that. you and GEO keep crying about people shit-talking NY, yet i haven't seen that at all in the vids i've seen. all i see are you guys dissing Chicago. why are you two so insecure? just let people think what they want.
and, your response says nothing to the "facts" that you brought up about Chicago. you really don't know your facts, so make sure to check them. like i said, the more you and GEO (i still suspect he/she/it and you are the same person, i mean your vids and comments are exactly the same. its pretty sad), bad mouth other cities like Chicago, you guys just keep giving NY a bad name.
THANKS FOR THE INFO BUDDY!! I DID NOT KNOW THAT SHIT-CAGO WAS NAMED AFTER AN ONION!! BUT THOSE IDIOTS HAVE MORE THINGS TO BE EMBARRASSED ABOUT. LIKE HOW THEY'RE THE 3RD LARGEST CITY IN AMERICA AND HAVE A HIGHER CRIME RATE THAN NYC (per capita). A HIGHER UNEMPLOYMENT RATE MORE HOMELESS PPL AND FAR MORE IGNORANT RESIDENTS THAN NYC…face the facts you whiny cry babies..YOUR CITY CAN’T HOLD A CANDLE TO NYC!!
@TLJAWSIMIB I know your weren't born in Chicago...I was just making a general comment. It wasn't directed toward you...Anyway, I was born and raised in Queens...now I live out in the Burbs of Long Island...Still love my city though
@geo31522 COOL!. I WAS BORN IN AROUND THE WALL STREET AREA!. BUT!. I CURRENTLY RESIDE IN STUPID, SHITTY AS HELL FLORIDA!. MAN!. I HATED IT HERE!. SERIOUSLY!!!!!.....
@TLJAWSIMIB Where You at buddy? I've been trying to get in touch with you but it seems your not available...anyway I wanted to say what's up...holla back bro
@mkfarnam1 Mountains??? Really…idiot??? Mountains have been around a lot longer than humans…even before man considered developing cities and so they are a testament to nature’s ingenuity NOT humans….whereas a city with all of its architecture and large buildings showcase the amazing accomplishments of man…so you don’t need mountains to add to the “prestige” of a city….look at L.A.’s boring ass skyline.
new york skyline is not as good as hong kong or shanghai the buildings are just blocks is actually pretty common buildings, unlike shanghai or hongkong with amazing modern buildings they should be the first 2 top skylines
@VampireBoy1900 im talking in general, i know there are some really nice and impressive designs but the most of the buildings just look like boxes with windows, insted in shanghai is hard to find buildings in the pudong are which is the are that is always shown in pictures is hard finds several buildings with the same style even in puxi which is the other part of shanghai is weird or impossible to find this boxes buildings
@Daviaz12 Yes though your speaking about 2 districts, what about the buildings that wrap around the bund or basically everything else that is in shanghai. Shanghai is loaded with communist blocks of pure boxes, probably 10x more then NYC. Shanghai is beautiful though NYC is simply more diverse and did not suffer a bland construction stump in the 1940-1980's. id take Seagram and leaver house over the concrete slabs any day.
WTC are all outdated compared to the new buildings that are being build at this time for Example Shanghai Tower if you dont know about that tower google it u will see how great it is
Ok New York has an amazing skyline but is not at all the best Skyline .
@Daviaz12 ok to say that chrysler and empire state are ok shows out opinions clearly don't fit together.. and WTC is outdated?? (idts) i've seen shanghai tower, its ok compared to what's coming out in nyc..
shanghai has many towers that are good to stand alone.. but together they don't form the best skyline..
nyc has many bldgs but they all come together to form a skyline.. and that's where the difference kicks in.. i'm not sayin shanghai has a bad skyline, i'm just saying its not the best.
how come there is no rating bar in your video?? You are too scared to face the facts.You want to shove your video (with your insist) on other people throats?

ah new york city, im from boston, yet i feel so at home there. the people are great, the sights are amazing, and taking a stroll ends with you feeling as if you just too a trip through time, from the beginning of america to the far away advanced future. just being there is the biggest, proudest, most beautiful "welcome to america" you'll get anywhere in the usa.
@megamillion12345 yes i am from Germany and i must say i felt like i've been there before in my life.i felt like home in and around N.Y.city.for me with Melbourne Australia and Toronto Canada the best city on this planet.
@Epimpin101 no the steel frame was invented in Chicago as the home insurance bldg though NY had the first true skyscraper by floors and height in the form of the equitable bldg.
@Epimpin101 It was? I didn't even know the skyscraper was an invention. Is there a patent on it? Did you just come from the Sears tower skydeck tour? I was there a few months ago and those glass ledge boxes are pretty cool. I wonder what would happen if you dropped an anvil on it? Did you know if you dropped a penny off the top of the Sears tower you could kill someone? I was kind of disappointed by the "movies set in Chicago" exhibit. Not a single John Hughes film is represented!
@captainhines I was saying NY has ugly ass brown old buildings, not Chicago. You are high off ur ass. Chicago has 4 giant towers that shape the skyline and keep it well spread out evenly. Sears, Trump, Aon, Hancock, and Prudential Plaza. just purely THE BEST
@gibsonles421 That's the thing about parodoxes. It creates a disturbance in the space-time continuum. Odd things happen like receiving replies to comments I made two months ago for instance. Although I'm not "high off my ass", I was wondering if the "421" in your name is a reference to the feeling one might have one minute after 4:20? Or is it an anti-"high off ur ass" statement kinda like "anti-christ" or "bizarro superman"? I'm glad we're in agreement about the disfigured Chicago skyline btw
@gibsonles421 I pity the fool who makes fun of my name! I pity the fool! A wise man from a long time ago in galaxy far, far away once said, "Who's the more foolish, the fool, or the fool who follows him?" A wise woman named Dashiki once said, "wrong hole, fool!"
@gibsonles421 NEW YORK CITY HAS WAY MUCH MORE THAN JUST BROWN BUILDINGS!. WE ALSO HAVE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING, CHRYSLER BUILDING, STATUE OF LIBERTY, PAN AM BUILDING, GRAND CENTRAL STATION, ROCKEFELLER CENTER PLAZA, PLAZA HOTEL, WOOLWORTH, BUILDING, 5 NEW WORLD TRADE CENTER TOWERS, ONE CHASE MANHATTAN PLAZA, ST. PATRICK'S CATHEDRAL, SOLOW BUILDING, TIMES SQUARE, NEW NEW YORK CITY TIMES TOWER, CONDE NAST BUILDING, BANK OF AMERICA TOWER, THE UN BUILDING, & 17 STATE STRRET!!!!. SERIOUSLY!!!!!.
Sorry HK... NYC is the king. Chicago gave birth to the skyscraper... And NYC has embraced it for about 100 years now... And still going strong and building new every year.
Acrtually when you are driving in Hong Kong you are like in a star wars enviroment . The roads fly all the time and go into buildings and tunnels with beautiful palm trees and green and then the clean streets, with super tall futuristic skyscrapers, not those ol' brick objects in new york with dog shit on every street corner.
I will Choose Chicago and Toronto over new york anytime. But the best of the best is Hong Kong hands down!
The american cities look tasteful and mature and the Asian one are too modern and they look like toys. You can tell ny and Chicago have rich history even though HK and shanghai are thousands years older. FYI NY was already developed thousands years ago by the natives who also called Manhattan Manhattan.
@RellupNorth Yes very true. In fact the natives taught the white man how to build skyscrapers. When the white man first sailed in to new york harbor, they were in such awe of the beautiful skyline that they had to learn how build these new "skyscrapers" themselves. That's why they purchased manhattan from the native Lenape people for 60 guilders.
@HDsharp Actually i visit China,Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia quite frequently. All im saying is the Asian nations who lacked development in the 20th century lack the fabric that NYC and Chicago carry with styles such as beaux arts,Art Deco,Post modernism,International, Brutalism,Futurism,rationalism and high tech architecture. Neo-Modernism has now prevail throughout Asian thought it missed an essential part of the skyscraper timeline.
@VampireBoy1900 Wrong! Because unless you've been to the Orient in the last few years, you haven't seen or experienced it! There many cities that have better skylines than NYC, that are just as culturally diverse & a whole lot more progressive than NYC & aren't sinking into the ocean like NYC. So just admit it, you left out premier skylines in this video. Like Vancouver, Seattle, Sydney, Hong Kong, Paris, London, Singapore,etc. You are just a typical blind arrogant tunnel visioned New Yorker!
@kroneage show me buildings stretching over 200 meters in Asia built from 1920-1980. I made a video based on what in my opinion are the best skylines on Earth,Its one point of view. And who said i was a New Yorker?
@VampireBoy1900 My dear chap I am a European with no bias one way of the other and I agree with you. Chicago and NY - in that order for me - are the best highrise skylines for a variety of reasons not least history. Tokyo is the greatest urban experience, Paris and Rome are more beautiful, London culturally richer and more diverse and HK more Wow-ish than either but for sheer skyline impact the American Big 2 are the top 2.
New York City had a nicer skyline with the Twin Towers in Lower Manhattan, because the overall skyline depends on what is in Downtown and Midtown, but overall, good video though.
london has the best skyline. it has big ben, tower bridge, london eye, the gerkin and the shard. By far the most unique and pleasing to the eye. All of these other cities look the same. they're just lots of tall square buildings.
New York city IS SUCH AN INTERESTING AND TASTEFUL CITY, there's an amazing diversity there, you can find everything you want there. I JUST LOVE IT. The one thing I hate IS THAT THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE .
@TheHEADonWHEELS In NYC 40% of people are homeless and there are dog shit almost in everystreet corner....Something you never see in Hong Kong. Just because you are from the US does not mean,that NYC is the best...You have never travelled I bet otherwise you are influenced & brainwashed by your white people.....which is a common thing among you whites today.
@RobertsDigital "dog shit on every corner"??? wow?? what a fucking idiot you really are!! at least dog isn't on our menu's...there isn't any dog shit in hong kong cause you gooks eat your fucking dogs as an appetizer....lol
@RobertsDigital and btw...i've traveled to many exotic places...and NYC is still the greatest city on earth!!! period...40% homeless??? where the fuck do you get your info from??? a cracker jack box??? you are by far the most ignorant piece of shit slant eyed dick i have ever seen
@geo31522 Nope New York is not the best. Just accept that fact.
Cursing people to express your anger will not change that fact. Just because you are from the US does not mean the Xbox is better than the Playstation. Just because you are from the US does not mean the Aero is better than the Bugatti. People vote based on the quality of things not because you are from America. Even if a city in Africa starts building super cool skyscrapers it will become the best skyline. NY cant remain thebest
You have a right to your opinion as i have a right to mine.but see, i base my opinion on facts and actually being to these cities...whereas your opinion is completely subjective. you end up looking like a fool by making such outlandish comments like "dog shit on every corner" and "40% homeless rate?" you must live such a sheltered..life get out of your momma's house every once in a while..look at the slums of HONG KONG and then tell me who has shit on every corner...stop living in denial
to add to my previous comment, you realize how silly you sound telling others their opinions are "completely subjective?" you realize just how stupid you sound? what are your statements? are they not subjective? sure you love NYC that's great, i respect that, let other people love their cities. you base your opinions on facts? how about this: a group actually came to Chicago and named its skyline one of the best outdoor museums. how that for facts.
wow. that's your response? and because you believe its dull we're all supposed to just believe your opinion? i'd actually take the word of an established group over a troll on Youtube. also pretty brave talk for someone behind a keyboard eh? so what's the matter can't decide what username to comment under TLJAWSIMIB?
@strikesubmit When i say "completely subjective" I MEAN PPL WHO BASE THEIR OPINIONS ON RUDIMENTARY KNOWLEDGE...NOT ON SUBSTANTIATING FACTS...LIKE WHEN AN IDIOT FROM CHICAGO CLAIMS THAT THERE IS A 40% HOMELESS RATE IN NYC...RIDICULOUS...WHERE DO YOU PPL OBTAIN YOUR INFO FROM?? A SNAPPLE BOTTLE CAP??
and just because one person says something, don't condemn an entire city. as i've said before, you and your doppelganger TLJ are both giving NY a bad name. so far i've seen nothing but crying from you. again...why so insecure?
actually, as a final addendum to my comments, i'll just say that i apologize for coming off as rude. i am very proud of where i come from, but i'm doing a greater disservice by getting caught up in a silly flame war on Youtube. i'm sorry that you feel that way about Chicago and its people. alot of people (yes, even New Yorkers) will agree that it is also a great place with great people. arguing the merits of that, especially on Youtube is silly and petty.
@strikesubmit Thanks for your comments…I would like to apologize as well …But like you, I too have a great deal of pride for my city. But it’s the skewed comments I see on this site and others where people love to trash NY that I just have to defend my city. I know that Chicago is a Great Town…But like NYC and so many other American cities…it has its problems as well...Anyway Take Care!!
hey sorry for the late response, and thanks for the words yourself! its great that we take pride in our cities. and yes, we do get hot-headed when we get caught up in discussions about it. its natural. but its good to hear from people who are both passionate about what they're talking about as well as intelligent. so, no prob at all.

We dont talk about how big or tall buildings are we talk generally about cities. New York City is one of this cities that look nice and at least have parks not like other cities in this presentation ..... Big - doesnt mean nice ... Shanghai had only big tall buildings which makes the city ulgy .. NYC has small and big theres a proportion !
OMG! that picture at 4:05 is so futuristic.

@ThroughRock Ah Stupid!! Skyscrapers are a stamp of human ingenuity…it gives a city its character…Also, when you have limited space, vertical cities are the only option…whereas shitholes like los angeles, Houston, and any other pathetic excuse for a city in America’s southwest do more to damage the earth and it’s environment by infesting as much of an area with boring “cookie cutter” neighborhoods spreading as far as possible.

@jetstream601 technically dubai has more skyscrapers.. but truth be said, the most live city is new york.. then hong kong.. then dubai..
and its true.. u don't need huge skyscrapers if no one is to live in them.. right?? therefore the city, even though it would look big and cool, it will look dead.. which means it's lost its meaning of a city.. therefore, i disagree with your statement.. i'm not saying hong kong doesn't have an amazing skyline, just so you wont understand me wrong..

@Daviaz12 Yes though your speaking about 2 districts, what about the buildings that wrap around the bund or basically everything else that is in shanghai. Shanghai is loaded with communist blocks of pure boxes, probably 10x more then NYC. Shanghai is beautiful though NYC is simply more diverse and did not suffer a bland construction stump in the 1940-1980's. id take Seagram and leaver house over the concrete slabs any day.

@RellupNorth Yes very true. In fact the natives taught the white man how to build skyscrapers. When the white man first sailed in to new york harbor, they were in such awe of the beautiful skyline that they had to learn how build these new "skyscrapers" themselves. That's why they purchased manhattan from the native Lenape people for 60 guilders.

@VampireBoy1900 My dear chap I am a European with no bias one way of the other and I agree with you.
