Calgary has one of the lowest population densities of major Canadian cities last I checked.
|
yah but... to be fair, calgary has very little sprawl when compared to other cities of its population. it is hard to compare as it is a unicity though. the sprawl is not as bad as is said. really.

ya ok but they have over the years been successful at keeping the city within city limits. which btw are actually not that vast. its a small city and to have the skyline it does is ridiculously out of whack. for example. edmonton is bigger than calgary. over all that is. when you include everything about the area.
|
If you only have 1 million people you call sprawl to your hearts content without the need of a vast territory within city limits. It's only now that Calgary is bumping up against that border. New sprawl is going outside to places like Okotoks, while growth inside city limits now means intensification.
Calgary's skyline has little to do with restraints on sprawl and everything to do with being a big head office city. |

Winston-Salem
Most photographs of this city only show half the skyline. You have to find a high elevation photograph to see the whole skyline. I love the art deco building by Shreve, Lamb, and Harmon in the middle. It was 1929 Building of the Year. Winston-Salem had the "North Carolina's tallest skyscraper" title until the 1970s. Unfortunately, the award winning Republic Insurance Building, by Pickard Chilton, is hidden from view in this photograph. http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/814...tiststar11.jpg Source: Mac Ingraham |

Cambridge Massachusetts it is a smaller city but the skyline is decent sized and will likely undergo a huge transformation in the next few years with new taller height limits allowed in the central areas.

TORONTO: 500ft+ buildings Built: 28 U/C: 21 Proposed: 53 As far as 500ft+ buildings go, the Toronto skyline might triple in size over the next 3-4 years. |

i was thrilled to see that the most beautiful and most inclusive area of the downtown business district of memphis was submitted. it has so many beautiful buildings and so much charm, and i was glad the one taken from the hernando-desoto bridge, from a car window, was sibmitted. kingchef

Imagine if downtown LA had skyscrapers at a similar population-to-highrise ratio as say... DT Calgary. Or even DT San Diego or DT San Fran for that matter. |
I don't know, I think L.A. has an impressive skyline. Some of the architecture leaves something to be desired, but in terms of the bulk of its central skyline it's fine.
|
The architecture of LA skyscrapers is quite good, imo. It's also a skyline spared from a sea of green glassed condos. I'd take an LA skyscraper over a green glassed condo any day of the week.
|
LA just lacks the concentration of skyscrapers. It's spread out. Downtown, Wilshire, Koreatown, Century City, UCLA, Hollywood. It has "mini" skylines all over.
Here's a perfect example: Quote:
