Surfside, Bal Harbour, Bay Harbor Islands, Sunny Isles Beach, Aventura, Hallandale, Hollywood and even Downtown Fort Lauderdale to the far top left (photo from last year, hence the cruise ships):

Manayunk section of Philadelphia
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...1435af5a_h.jpg Manayunk-6-19-2020.jpg by kyle ortiz, on Flickr |
A provincial city in the Soviet Union circa 1975? No, it is modern infill development around Mascot Train Station in Sydney, Australia circa 2020.
https://www.skyscrapercity.com/attac...ot-jpg.236347/ It doesn't look quite as bad at ground level, eg https://goo.gl/maps/1EpGZTZu9uF3ZEht7 |

The pic of Manayunk is dope. Philly is such an enigma to me. It's incredibly urban in parts, but overall the metro feels very forested and quaint actually. It feels like a collection of towns rather than a single sprawling metro. You get pockets of amazing density tucked in to the landscape like the photo of Manayunk demonstrates. Cool city/metro that I would like to spend more time in. |

Stamford looks a lot bigger/more dense than I thought. Looks a little DC-like.

Canberra looks quite tiny. I thought it was a larger city.

San Gabriel Mtns look so massive. Wow.

^ Nite - I borrowed your video link for another forum, it's a really stunning one of the islands, but a bit of a sad reminder of our almost lost (traditional) waterfront skyline view... even from an elevated drone pov.
Maybe Space X could take some higher angle pics for us. |

Kansas City
https://live.staticflickr.com/8108/2...0b61ab85_h.jpgKansas City looking north and northwest by Sean Booth, on Flickr |
Kansas City has a bit of same situation that St. Louis has with a strong central corridor connected by two 'downtowns'. In KC its Downtown Kansas City and the Plaza area. I was really pleasantly surprised by Kansas City when I visited.
|
To some extent most cities have secondary centers near the core. In Seattle we have the U District three miles from Downtown. Portland has the Lloyd Center. Denver has Cherry Creek. Phoenix has the area north on Central. Others like San Francisco simply have constant density for miles.
|
^ I think St. Louis and Kansas City stand out in the secondary center is on the other end of a gridded midtown neighborhood
