Bart122333, London and Paris??? Not much of a skyline there. If there's a city that should be on this list that was left off it's Seattle. Better than quite a few on the list.

Emporis isn't exactly the favourite source of skyscraper/urbanity fans. Sao Paulo is an absolute sea of highrises. Singapore has a beautiful skyline, but it's relatively small.

Of course Americans don't understand the beauty of a skyline without those ugly towers...

"Objective" and "Emporis" do not belong in the same sentence. We all know that that site is full of crap.

It may not be one that most people think about, but I think Boston's skyline is absolutely gorgeous. Also, Auckland's is quite nice too!

@bart: Paris and London have beautiful buildings, but their skylines aren't beautiful because you can't see those buildings! Plus a huge tower is still impressive, as the quiz says, even when it is ugly.
