Mumbai's skyline will soon rival the likes of Shanghai and Manhattan. Really impressed with Mumbai's development, it has changed a lot in just 10 years.

This is a list of top 40 cities by number of completed or topped out skyscrapers, which are defined as a building that reaches or exceeds the height of 150 meters by the CTBUH (Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat).

The list is topped by Hong Kong, New York, followed by Dubai, Shanghai, Chicago. By region In the top 40, China has 13, US has 7, 3 in SK, 2 in Japan, 2 in Europe (Moscow; Istanbul), 2 in UAE, 2 in Australia, and the rest mostly in ASEAN and other Asian cities.
 
Roorkee? Wth population is so low must feel so boring being there.
It's the best place to live in, full of scooty riding girls all over the roads. :D

@Sam. bro where do you live in Rke? I am also from Rke and was under the impression that I am the only one here in PDF from Roorkee.

I like Starbucks, one just 100 metres from my home in Wuhan, super fast wifi, 1-2 second to download a song!
Starbucks to a lot of Chinese is not a good sign, a sort of fast-food culture. However, from a perceptive of economy, how many Starbucks a city has indicates how open it is and a recognition of consumption level to some extent.

I remembered my first of Starbucks experience, that was 2006-2007 in Wuhan(a city in the very centre of Central China). At that time, the price of a cup of Cappuccino was so high. Now, Wuhan has nearly 50 Starbucks and it becomes quite affordable for the majority citizens in Wuhan. There is also a 24-hour branch in Wuhan's high-tech park, Optic Valley and some in the Metro stations.

So, from this point of view, I see Starbucks entering every city in China a positive sign of a broader domestic market and rapid increase in living standards.

I love Mumbai Monorail. I opened a thread in our Chinese metro forum introducing Mumbai Monorail last year.
There is only one city has a huge Monorail network, in Chongqing, Western China.

@Nihonjin1051 China and Japan has suffered so much from natural disasters which never stop East Asia from moving forward. People are just growing stronger and stronger.
