True, but the city needs like ten times the buildings under construction and needs to push for higher quality developments. There are tons of projects that should have already been done; the central park idea over train tracks, putting the Gardiner expressway underground, building a replacement for the Google/Sidewalk Labs "smart city", etc. Plus the city needs to push for more interesting architecture.

However, most apartments look the same. The office buildings aren’t so much impressive nor are there much in development (I believe only 2) most of our skyline are just condos and nothing interested. Also, street life sucks. In terms of being a pedestrian or living there. No life.

[@TheB1M]

Shenzhen is currently building 80 skyscrapers - that's more than any other city in Asia or the world right now, and more than any city has ever built at once, at any moment in history. That's why the many other cities in Asia that people are asking after in this comments section are not featured in the video.

I am glad Toronto got finally featured. It may not have some of the astonishing heights in Asia, but there is no city in the western world going through the building boom that Toronto is. The number of skyscrapers is fairly impressive but the number of 150m to 200m buildings under construction and proposed is insane. The entertainment district alone has 35 150m+ apartment buildings set to be built in the next 5 years. That alone would be an impressive skyline for most North American cities.

[@globalfoodaction6748]

@Nunovia Gottdamnedbizzness "most are empty". Ya not true. And I didn't say they were beautiful but they shape the skyline drastically. Also, I'm also not a big fan of fairly generic glass towers with balconies either but they are the most preferred from the inside. Tons of light and a balcony. But my favorite recent 100m to 200m condo is the Selby near Bloor and Parliament. It's a gorgeous brick building.

@@MrEvanDavidson Agreed! Also it's been interesting to see so many hubs (square one, humber village, Vaughan metropolitan) coming up across the city but they need to start having some life other than towers and parking lots. And let's get the transit actually built! But if there's anything I'd really prioritize for the country, it would have a set of cities like Germany (a few major cities that compete and a dozen attractive urban areas) , as opposed to France or UK, where everything is in one main metropolitan. So in that sense, I'm hoping to see more growth in Montreal, Hamilton, Halifax, Winnipeg, etc.

Sydney's growth has also been trending lower than Melbourne's for many years now, and is expected to be overtaken in population some time around 2030.

[@pineapplesareyummy6352]

@@slop123456789 Thanks for the explanation. I had to check the map to see the respective distances of the CBDs to the airports. I have been to both Sydney and Melbourne (I lived in New Zealand for many years) and didn't think there was a big difference, but I now see it's about 10 km in a straight line for Sydney versus 17 km for Melbourne. I guess flight path may play a bigger influence. Anyway, I also didn't realise Melbourne was growing faster and will overtake Sydney in population. That's new to me. I guess Sydney is hemmed in by mountains, whereas Melbourne is on flat land with plenty of space to grow.

[@slop123456789]

@@pineapplesareyummy6352 There's also some cultural differences between the two cities for sure. Sydney's mixture of natural beauty and architectural icons have lead it to place less of an emphasis on the height of the skyline of its principal CBD (other smaller regional CBDs such as North Sydney and Parramatta have begun to soar upwards however). Melbourne's immediate setting is much less inspiring however, so the local government has tended to invest more into developing dynamic urban spaces to attract investment and human capital. As it started to gain international recognition as one of the most liveable cities on earth, this lead to one of the largest construction booms in the country's history.

Not entirely. While there is a big concentration of towers in Melbourne's CBD, Sydney, while having a healthy number of towers going up in its CBD and promised, the difference is the number of towers going up in suburban locations around Sydney, something which hasn't really impacted in Melbourne yet, though some are promised. Suburban centres such as Parramatta, Macquarie Park, Chatswood-to-North Sydney, Green Square, Rhodes/Sydney Olympic Park/Wentworth Point and even Liverpool and Penrith among others, have towers of 30 to 70+ storeys already up, on the way and promised.

I am onli 15 and I can say that in my short life time London has changed dramatically. 6 years ago when I first visited it was a totally different city from now. Today the skyline is one of a big American metropolis

Man imagine starting a 25 year sentence in Shanghai starting it 1987. You'd get out in 2012 and think you were in a different country, never mind the exact same city.

[@willmatic84]

Its crazy how human creations changes the world 🌎 awesome vid 👌

[@ASOTFAN16]

Shanghai kinda amazed me at how quickly that went. From 1987 to 2013 that massive change. That's actually insane.

[@bebum1234]

I love when you show the evolution of skylines around the world over the decades, so cool!

[@whitenoisefw]

I love you guys trying to say "balneário camboriú", it always give a laugh... I really don't blame is a really hard word. Love the channel!

As a urban city enthusiast, This channel is the best

[@pandarosamusic5751]

So excited about what the future of Melbourne holds.

I love skyscrapers just as much as traditional buildings. I love how most cities incorporate skyscrapers into their cityscapes.

4:17 London hype! B1M staying true to its roots

[@happymanali]

Austin has a massive skyscraper skyline change that is super underrated

Two of the most important inventions that started the rise of skyscrapers: steel and elevators.

I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR A VIDEO ABOUT MELBOURNES NEW TOWER! :D

[@tudorjason]

Sounds like I may need to consider a move to Toronto

[@FelipeEngineer]

The construction outlook looks positive for the next five years. This is a great example of how people working together transform our environments. I ♥️ the highlighting of different locations.

As long as China is there no other outside city would qualify in Asia.

@fane babanu Reign of Dubai is almost over. Most of the mega projects in Dubai have been halted, the expat population is eroding and with corona even oil prices saw a huge hit.

@@tubester4567 isn't that crazy?! They come off as a first world great power but they can't provide their citizens with the most basic infrastructure... clean water. There is so much wealth on the coast but once you head inland the farmers who live out there are extremely poor. No electricity or running water poor.

[@Luvlamp86]

Another great vid B1M!! Loving them! Yay for Melbourne making it on the list, however Brisbane, Australia should be noted too. Be awesome if you did one of the city, as it's got a lot of projects and the tallest timber highrise underway. Keep up the awesome work!
