Skyline comparison London vs Moscow vs New York vs Shanghai

[Chinese-Dragon]

Money MAKES those things happen. The infrastructure is usually not there to begin with. If it was every country on the planet would be marketable. Somebody makes the investment to get the ball rolling and then things start happening quickly.

Again, if the country's government is against development, then all the multinationals in the world won't help.

North Korea had plenty of chances, and China in particular has been asking NK to reform their economy for decades now. There have been plenty of offers from China, South Korea, Japan, etc. to start up such businesses in NK.

But no, they prefer their philosophy called "Juche".

As of now Istanbul is a joke when it comes to sky scrapers

@xxxKULxxx are there any projects to make the skyline look more serious.

I don't think Turkey needs them though.

Skyscrapers are for when you are running out of space.

Best skylines belong to US cities IMHO. Anyway just wanna share some manila skylines. We're not far behind the world, I think

Shanghai has the best .. Nothing beats it and probably never will in the near future unless another new city comes up on the banks somewhere with a better planned architecture.

I have been NYC several times. To be honest, I am deeply NOT impressed.

The subway system is a disaster, which is dilapidated and dirty. The NYC street does not fare in any way better. Garbage bags along the street may be the only view I can remember.

How about hotels? Well, I stayed in one of those so-called great ones. Men, the carpet is really OLD. The room furnishing is even less attractive.

I only have one feeling after all: OLD and DIRTY...

Nothing can beat NewYork...... Ya Chinese are new with some new good look... But NewYork will always remain the best

I see such skylines as a perversion. Thats the skyline nothing can top:

I find this interesting though. Both in germany as in italy it is almost impossible by todays standards to build such skyscrapers. The only city in germany that has Skyscrapers is Frankfurt. In all other cities you would never get permission to build this, because there is zero acceptance in the population for this.

thats why europeans are backwards

No, thats why you are backwards. We want modern technology combined with nature. Thats the future. Basic fact is, that not a single city in Europe would need such pathetic looking giant dildos who try to compensate a small penis.

We have beauty, history and art combined with high tech.

I happen to agree. Skyscrapers are phallic symbols, and using them as a metric of manhood is a sign of insecurity

I prefer the view from my family's ranch in Montana:
