Cincinnati, Kansas City and St. Louis are smaller skylines with a nice mix of old and new. Philly a medium skyline with old and new, as is Pittsburgh and of course Detroit. And of course NYC and Chicago have the historical mix. L.A. does too, but the older ones are mostly 150' or less because of the pre 1960s height limit. City Hall (built in the 1920s) was exempted, and rises to 454' and is iconic to the skyline although it is hidden by all the new taller buildings except from the north. San Francisco also has a pleasing mix of old and new, and of course a spectacular location which gives it a high beauty rank.

Dubai's skyline is one huge row (Sheikh Zayed Rd) of buildings and doesn't look as organic as other skylines.
