World's top 51 skylines Part 1

The worlds 51 best/tallest skylines in the world 2008.
Rankings taken from http://homepages.ipact.nl/~egram/skyl...
*However* I tried to update the list myself so it's not identical.

Explaining the ranking system:

The value of each building in a city is calculated by x-90, x beeing the hight in metres.
Observation towers and such are only counted with half their hight (example: CN Tower).




I highly recomend downloading the high quality version http://www.gigasize.com/get.php?d=rwp...

Seattle @ 49 ...WTF

[cheesemaster1000]

No, the definition doesn't give a specific height and it certainly isn't as high as 800 feet! By your standards there is only 1 skyscraper in London, whereas in fact there are 9.

Also it doesn't have to include office workers, the Burj al Arab is over 1000ft tall and doesn't have an office worker anywhere on site, yet is called a skyscraper.
