There are new towers being built in San Francisco right now. Unfortunately there is a lot of land and earthquake safety restrictions that makes it more difficult and costly
Sebastian Green
singapore looks like the "clean utopia" future city like mirror's edge while HK is the typical cyberpunk megacity
Grayson Jones
well building towers in earthquakes areas is very expensive, thats why Japan doesn't really build that much skyscrapers

Fuck. I should have mentioned in the OP that the top 2 cities from the poll make it through to the knockout stage.

Melbourne
Kayden Hernandez
You can see Melbourne hasn't had much restrictions for building heights. Looks a bit incoherent
Levi Baker

looks pretty cool desu senpai

Big skylines rarely have any significant restrictions, that's how they grew big in the first place.

>this HK domination
HOW CAN THE OTHER CITIES EVEN COMPETE
Michael Rodriguez
it's a raep
I just hope Singapore makes it through.
Also it's really surprising to me, the HK's popularity on this board, last year it easily rekt every city which wasn't NYC. All the other Asian cities including FUCKING SHANGHAI lack to get a massive recognition here, but that's not the case with HK.
James Lewis
Poor Vancouver. Always in the shadow of its Asian brothers.

Elijah Moore
best looking towers in the world
Ayden Sanders
I suppose it can get a bit monotonous, but at least most of the condos look glassy and sleek. It's big too for its population.
Bless the Chinese, I guess.

>Singapore and Vancouver tied for the 2nd place
fuck I should have voted Singapore, it was obvious HK will make it through anyway
Daniel Hughes
Not anymore. I vote Vancouver. Because...... Canada.

Looks good.
Here's all the current towers planned for a small business suburb in Stavanger, but due to the oil crisis, it's unsure whether they'll be built.

Well, even at the peak of our economy, multiple high-rises have been proposed there, and still the tallest building is like 8 floors lmao.
It's a good area because it's completely flat and in our oil capital, but there's no good infrastructure leading to it, so companies are still afraid of actually going through with it. A shame too, as it's seen some good proposals.
Oliver Sanders
There was also this next to it, but they're both cancelled now.

too bad the finished building is shit
Henry Nguyen
what's wrong about it?
Elijah Evans
Why doesn't the US have any ultra modern cities.
Ethan Williams
It looks a bit bland on the street level, it's just kinda sticking out. Design is alright
Brandon Bell
We weren't a hellhole (Singapore) or bombed into submission post WW2. However, in the begining of the 20th century they were ultra modern.
Caleb Green
.............
I think the U.S. invented the modern concept of the modern city.
Austin Murphy
aren't your cities modern enough?
Anthony Turner
it probably won't be built anyway
Benjamin Sanchez
>now Melbourne is tied with Singapore
oh come on guys SOME LOVE FOR POOR SINGAPORE
Justin Garcia
NO! I want Tokyo/HK level of modern.
t. weeaboo
Asher Price
Let's hope the future God-Emperor starts encouraging Urban growth and development and connects our country with bullet trains.
Carson Barnes
that's more like gorillion of advertisements than "modern"

Impossible. Too much bureaucracy. If you want bullet trains you have to purge the government.

Asher Brooks
I dont really know much about railroad logistics, but this looks kinda pitiful.
Austin Taylor
1. very localized governance structure for urban development (neighborhood NIMBYs = powerful; in Japan urban guidelines are "federal" & laxer)
2. US government policies incentive sprawl&single family homeownership (eg Obama's mortgage interest deduction)
3. comparatively high transit costs & lack of political will (these are tied together & amerifats love cars too much)
shit is fuckd here lmao
Jace Reyes
it is quite pitiful but apparently they don't really need the railroads that much
Robert Brooks
Yea murricans have their airports, flying is much more common over there afaik. But i wonder how important railroads are for transporting freight, because transporting them by railroad is obviously much cheaper than by airplane.
Charles Johnson
also I think in more densely populated areas (East Coast) railroads will actually do better, they are less expensive than planes
Kayden Edwards
It sucks, I loathe taking Amtrak.
Robert Foster
>Melbourne is gaining votes
aaaa
Joseph Green
The eternal Aussie is waking up
Michael Cox
when are the eternal singaporeans going to wake up
Parker Gutierrez
I'm okay with these types of modern apartments, they don't look that bad imo. What do modern apartments look like in your areas?
Jaxon Green
Looks great from certain angles, terrible from others.
Should really have been built square instead of rectangular.
Nolan Reed
Hongkong will take this anyway, rightfully tho.
Jace Lopez
...
Jose Moore
what do you think about this the second place makes it through aswell
Jason Young
Well in that case i should have been tactially voting for Singapore. Should have read it better lmao
Charles Bell
That looks really nice and clean.
wtf I love Poland now!
Noah Sullivan
you haven't "read it better" because it wasn't even mentioned, I forgot do to that
I voted for HK aswell even though I knew
Eli Edwards
I like it. Glass skyscrapers with strong lines are the best.
Benjamin Wood
yeah, really nice neighbourhood
