SKYLINES

I feel like Shenzhen may not make it due to burgers voting for their cities.

...

...

can someone post the pic with the groups/cities competing?
danke

Busan was replaced with Brisbane though

Wrong. LA has a notoriously shitty skyline and no one gives a fuck about Miami.

Isnt LA generally hated (at least by people who would post on le 4chinz), because it is illegal Mexicans central?

>shitty skyline
>recognizable by many people around the world
you are just jealous you don't live in LA my midwest friend.

>giving chinks another victory
are you a cuck

Look at the geographic proximity of Hong Kong, Macau, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

It's fucking crazy how close these huge cities are to each other.

Soon they'll grow into a single gigacity

God bless Shenzhen

>mfw all of these people will never post in /urban/

I'm out of new pics.

Well, it's quite a boring thread. People will just post images without bothering looking at the rest, then they'll wait for their juicy (You) about how butifel their town is, and proceed to move on with their life until the next circlejerk ensues.

1. Shenzhen
2. Doha
3. LA
4. Miami

agreed?

This, also they probably hate cities and just want to fight over who has more history.

and how is that different from /urban/

This too. It's pretty much just a contest.

At least we try to talk in here, not only about our own countries, but also faraway ones.

We can enjoy all architecture.

>This too. It's pretty much just a contest.
the entire "battle of skylines" is a fucking contest
>At least we try to talk in here
/urban/ has 4 regular posters: me, you, nycfag, and this chinkboo german

ebin :D

also this korean poster was qt ;_;

korean posters are rarity ;_;

>the entire "battle of skylines" is a fucking contest
Yes, but it's a fun contest. Not a "muh town is better than yours, look how white it is" type contest.

>/urban/ has 4 regular posters: me, you, nycfag, and this chinkboo german
Quality over quantity, as my wife's son tends to say.

We're just kind of like a portable SSC.

I need to start posting consistently enough to be a regular.

>Yes, but it's a fun contest. Not a "muh town is better than yours, look how white it is" type contest.
but they are just having a comfy thread and civil conversation

meanwhile in /urban/

"hahaha I voted Frankfurt because it's the only European city"

"hahaha Germanic architecture>>>>>>>>>>>everything"

And we post images to keep the threads alive. They post images to stroke their inflated ego.

BUT I DIGRESS.

>mfw this city won't make it out of the groups

If you get the chance, please come visit us.

...

will never go to the US, fly too expensive kek

>tfw flying to Europe is prohibitively expensive
>tfw it costs nearly $1300 for a ticket to visit family in Germany

I know that feel, user.

and now imagine that you are Pole and it basically costs like twice more compared to your income

Study computer science and make STEMbux in Western Europe/USA.

More Miami

It's not that expensive from here. I can get a flight to NYC next week for 300 burgerbux.

>implying I'm capable of any maths/programming or anything STEM actually

300 for both ways, that is

...

Damn, that's an amazing price. I hear about my East Coast friends going to London/Paris/Berlin/Oslo for around the same price. I'm on the opposite coast. Conversely, it's very cheap for me to fly to Asia. Recently booked a roundtrip ticket to Ho Chi Minh City for $600 and flew to Seoul for $400 last year.

...

...

Do you have a favorite city, Polish Koreaboo?

It is more expensive travelling to the westcoast, yes. Not by too much, though. I guess it also depends on time of the year.

favorite city in general? I dont know lol

Time of week as well. Cheaper to fly out during the middle of the week.

Berlin would look pretty cool with some skyscrapers.

>not living in such comfiness

Berlin is my favorite city in Europe 2bh. It'd be cool to see it develop a sort of highrise central business district like La Defense.

Xi'an is baller af

going to sleep good night : 3

Night.

>tfw ywn live on the top floor of a cozy 5-storied pagoda in the middle of literally where only surrounded by wilderness and probably some rice fields

>tfw you will never work on the top floor of sleek Toranomon Hills in the middle of Tokyo surrounded by suicidal salarymen and probably some rice fields

>tfw ywn ever die by leaping off Shanghai Tower surrounded by smog, more smog and then probably some rice fields
why even live

Feels bad senpai.

>tfw you will never be Spider-Man and see views like these every night

>you will never be a pilot and see views like these every morning

Final bump

man shenzhen really feels like it's changed in the past decade.

Bump
>you will never be a pilot and the last to see both towers standing
Why live

Imagine if it lasted until today, imagine if 1893 exhibition lasted until today. Does anything even happen at the modern expos? Might as well just attend CES I guess

Is anything good even happenning at the expos these days? The media here never seems to talk about it

Why did society lost the sense of grandieur?

Is Shenzhen the ultimate cyberpunk city?

...

...

That tower on the left alone makes it more cyberpunk than 99% of cities.

this exposition is, aside from the moon landing and ratifying the constitution, arguably the greatest moment in American history. it ushered in the modern world....too bad they didn't build it to last.

That and having a totalitarian ultra capitalist government, cheap residential megablocks squished together with huge skyscrapers and tech everywhere.

Man I really have to go there sometime.

Nice contrast.

Did they really need a bridge like that at that time

Americans seem to have the eternal need to compensate for something.
