Top 25 Skylines in North America

the phoenix skyline has to be one of the most pathetic skylines considering how large the metro area is...

Phoenix - The Largest Suburb in America.

[@RZFX619]

I agree, it's like Phoenix's buildings couldn't decide whether they belonged in downtown or midtown so they just scattered themselves up Central

[@jdhjimbo]

I like the view from South Mountain Park, especially near sunset, but people in the Valley of the Sun do not want to be in the literally-empty downtown. I remember going to the top of the Hyatt Regency, and seeing the fenced area for homeless folks - being the largest congregation of people downtown! The extensive heat is also a deterrent to walking around or sitting at outdoor cafes. All the action is in the East Valley, with Scottsdale being the star. I had rental houses in PHX, and usually stayed at Loewe's Paradise Valley Resort, as they had great rates then, and it was close to most of my rentals in Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, and 2 in Scottsdale. I got up at sunrise to take a run with the view of Camelback, and then a swim in the pool, before the heavy heat arrived. The spring in the desert is amazing, the winter very pleasant, but the never-ending summer is just too hot and too brown for me. I prefer Palm Springs for desert - much less congested, more scenic, very compact, and 2 hours from the ocean and the pleasant temps of greater LA/SoCal. If you want an impressive view (not really a skyline per se), take the tram up San Jacinto Mountain, traveling thru 9 climatic zones - VERY impressive! It can be 95 at the base in Palm Springs, but snow on the ground at the top, with a jacket necessary.

@DICK LONG The US tends not to consolidate the metropolitan area into one big city, so it can be misleading to consider only the central city. It's much more meaningful to use the metro population. For example, the population of Miami proper is less than 400k, but the metro area is over 6 million.

[@chammp777]

Canadian here. The reason many of our cities’ downtown cores look larger than a lot of the American cities which actually are larger but don’t look it is because in Canada we have begun moving away from the traditional American urban planning of downtown core surrounded by suburbs and instead are pushing for density as people opt more for living/working in the same area and the convenience and lifestyle that comes with it. Mixed use planning is extremely common (retail/commercial street level, residential above) very inspired by Vancouver’s model of urban planning. Vancouver has done this extremely well, and the surrounding cities or suburbs are now building their own large “downtown cores” around public transit hubs. Getting people to drive less and walk snd use transit more.

St. Louis actually has a more impressive downtown skyline than most people know. Most all of the photos of downtown STL are centered on the Arch and are taken from the East. From that perspective, especially when taken at river level, most of the high rises and skyscrapers are left out. When you see downtown from the south, north, or west, you see more of the buildings and get a better perspective of the cluster. Still, the skyscrapers are a bit spaced out and the skyline would be more impressive if they had been built closer together. Like many big cities, St. Louis has a secondary “downtown” area in Clayton. As a suburb, Downtown Clayton actually has a pretty impressive skyline, one that rivals stand alone cities like Des Moines, Wichita, or Omaha.

It’s a beautiful area that was made for living, working, and enjoying the city. Surprisingly clean, landscaped, and manicured for such a huge metropolis.

Agree with how impressive the Western Canadian cities are. I think you underrated LA (well framed with the mountains and also fast growing), Minneapolis (clearly the second best of the Midwest), Atlanta and Houston (for the same reason being the skylines make both cities seem MASSIVE) and definitely Charlotte. I’m biased as a North Carolinian, but Charlotte has the third best skyline in the Southeast (counting Florida but not Texas) several of the buildings are super tall, and more infill projects are on the way. But my favorite skyline is Chicago. Yes, New York has more buildings, but Chicago’s really has more of a wow factor when you first see it, especially if you take one of those architectural boat tours along the river.

Great video, keep the uploads coming. Mexico is part of North America as well and was somewhat surprised it wasn't included on your list.

Regardless, love your content!

[@GeographyKing]

Thanks. I did consider the major 3 Mexican cities and although they have had a lot of improvements and development I don't think the visual skylines are quite up to the level of the major American and Canadian cities yet. I actually was going to make this video a top 50 but it would've dragged on way too long. I had Monterrey at 28, Mexico City at 31, and Guadalajara at 35. I didn't want to leave Mexico out but I just couldn't quite fit one of those cities in.

[@superrack3887]

Also the distribution of skyscrapers in Mexico City, Monterrey and Guadalajara is very different and skylines are formed in any part of the cities instead of concentrating on a single point as in American cities, we can observe this very well in Ciudad Mexico where skyscrapers are built in several financial districts, in the center as Reforma, in the south as Insurgentes or in the mountains as Santa Fe and Interlomas.

[@WizenedVariations1]

Mexico City, IMO, would be in the top 6 or 7 NA skylines. Guadalajara and Monterrey somewhere between 10 and 15. Panama City, Panama would be in the top 5.

[@opheliavalentine6058]

SuperRack The skylines in Mexico are very different and are still too new. Give it more time and they’ll look like more complete. Mexico City doesn’t really have a skyline because all of its buildings are in different locations. Same goes for Monterrey although the mountains make it the most unique of the three. Guadalajara has a better skyline but it isn’t developed well enough to be put on the list. It’s neighboring city, Zapopan has a decent skyline with unique buildings but it’s rather small compared to the mega skylines in US and Canada. The skylines in US and Canada are in the city cores and they are called downtowns while in Mexico the downtowns are the historic centers (which is cool) and the buildings are located in newer areas (reminds me of Paris).

[@sachemofboston3649]

When you described Atlanta or LA, it reminded me about Tokyo, which doesn't have a good skyline because of historic earthquakes and multiple downtowns, but it is an awesome city. I live in Pittsburgh which has an awsome skyline, but the downtown is boring as hell, all of the cool neighborhoods are on the outskirts and have mid to low rise buildings. This just means you should never judge a city by it's skyline as great cities can have underwhelming skylines, and the reverse can be true as well.

It is rare to have a small city with such a defining skyline and recognizable look that people all over the country and world can go "That's Duluth."

Amazing that he mentioned some of the smaller skylines of other cities then completely skipped over some of our other major skylines.

I've always loved seeing city skylines since I was a kid. The architecture of a city is its heart and soul. Every building breathes life into a city and brings to it a flavor. I was very interested in hearing your list and found it pretty good. I would, however, think about some other skylines to add to it: 1. I love Nashville's growing skyline. Slow but sure it has added more and more flavor to its base. 2. Kansas City is pretty cool and has some of those older buildings that you mentioned in some of your list. 3. Austin has a nice, growing skyline as well; buildings that make it stand out. 4. Portland OR is growing as well and has come along nicely. The backdrop of Mt. Hood helps it out. Those are my additions from the US. However, again, you said North America, so I would add: 1. Monterrey, Mexico, which is quite beautiful. 2. Guadalajara, Mexico. Again, quite cool. 3. Mexico City...some really nice architecture there. It does fit into that category where you would expect there to be more based on the extremely large population, but I think earthquakes and volcanoes have an effect on that. 4. Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. For a small, shared island nation, it has a beautiful skyline. Lastly, 5. Panama City, Panama! How could you leave that one out? :) It has one of the most impressive skylines in the Americas! It's amazing that such a small nation could create a skyline. :) Thanks for letting me add my two cents. A fellow lover of skylines and architecture. Oh, by the way, I think there are plenty small city skylines that are quite cool, too. :)
