[THE BIG APPLE]

^ What do you mean build it and they will come. NYC is already a well established city. It's not Dubai where NYC has to build tall buildings to attract people to come, who won't even be permanent residents. Dubai has to set it's priorities straight. First, second, and third (nature) streets, sidewalks, roads, highways, parks, etc. Architecture AFTER a WHILE. If NYC didn't have tourists for the next 20-30 years it would still be the most populous city in the U.S. 20 million people appox. pass through the land known as Manhattan A DAY. Lets see 1.6 million residents, the other 18.4 million tourists, commuters, visitors etc. We don't need an ugly 2,000 footer to make people come to NYC, we got the ESB (that's all that needs to be said).
