Holy mother of God, now that is a real concrete jungle. So much girth in that skyline, it just needs some height now to perfect it.

You gotta be kidding me, Sao Paulo is dense as hell! And that is one hell of a bridge, seems like that part of the city is going with a more modern all glass architecture style.

wow, too bad about the height restricts...

imagine with 5-6 supertall's in that skyline!

It'd be Shanghai!

Y'know, I think I'm more attracted to the 'highrise jungle' type cities than those with really compact focal pints to their skylines. Places like Vancouver, Seoul or Tokyo. Of course, the greatest higrise have both (NY, Hong Kong, Shanghai etc).

^true about NY, HK and Shanghai (and in fact, also Seoul and Tokyo). São Paulo might be on this list if not for the stupid height restrictions!
