^ dallas' relative skyline stagnation is a bit perplexing to me. the area has been growing like a weed, and yet has so little skyscraper construction to show for it.
the metroplex has added over 2M people over the past 20 years, but dallas has only built 2 towers over 400' during that time, with nothing rising above 700'.
by contrast, chicagoland has basically been stagnant population-wise over the past 20 years, yet chicago has built roughly 100 towers over 400' during that time, with 14 of those rising above 700' (3 more to start soon).
and then you have metro toronto which has been growing like a weed over the past 20 years, and toronto has built over 170 towers over 400' during that time, with 19 of those rising above 700'.
population growth and skyline growth are sometimes directly correlated with each other, but certainly not always, as dallas and chicago prove.
