	what constitutes a high rise? Just wondering, good quiz

	Noname219:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 00:11 GMT		2 points
	There's no official definition for a highrise. Emporis.com decide to stop listing buildings below 12 floors, and some buildings below 12 floors are historical or important buildings for the city. Thanks for your comment. ;)

	Do you know if it is Arlington, TX (Dallas-Fort Worth) or Arlington, VA (Washington, DC)?

	Noname219:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 05:50 GMT		1 point
	It's Arlington in Virginia. I will add states and provinces abbreviations. Thanks ;)

	Good quiz. I'm surprised more Japanese cities didn't make it.

	Wow. Those Brazilians really love their high rises huh?

	I was just about to say the exact words of dtro. The Spanish too. Wonder why they're so popular there. Also interesting to me that Durban was the only city from the African continent. There were 10-15 others that I guessed before it.

	@ Wildcat : Probably because there is more residentials buildings in Brazil or China. Most highrises in North America and Europe are made for office use. And in Africa, the economy relies much on agriculture and materials are probably too expensive. And sometimes the numbers are innacurate. For example, some people says there's 30,000 or 46,000 highrises of more than 12 floors in Sao Paulo. But I doubt that.

	Interesting idea for a quiz, although I'm not sure if the top 100 cities is really needed. At that point the quiz becomes more or less a "name every major city you can"-type quiz. The top 20 or 25 would probably have been a better choice.
