TORONTO VS CHICAGO - Who has the better skyline!
Im from the NY of the north and am wondering what you experts think of my home Skyline! Does T-Dot beat CHI-Town?
Okay Here is Chicago
Lets hear those replies!
No.
The birthplace of the skyscraper of course! Even with the CN Tower, Toronto lacks the quantity of the supertall office towers that Chicago has.
Even Manila, Seoul and Singapore were ranked better. No offense dude! Toronto has a beautiful skyline but if I'm going to compare it with Chicago! I vote for Chi-town!
How about comparing Toronto with Sydney! Now that's worth comparing! North vs South!
Yeah i neglected to think about Sydney, i guess Metro Toronto (GTA) and Metro Chicago are about the same size so i figured they would be a fair comparison. A lot of people have no idea just how big Toronto has become, nearly 8.5 million people in the GTA now, from Ajax to Hamilton, heck if we were part of the US we would probably include Buffalo and Detroit, (Detroit is pushing it all things considered, NYC includeds New Haven and Philadelphia) as Buffalo is about 1 hour and Detroit is about 2. Frome Ajax to Windsor there is around 10.5 million people, if you were to add Detroit and Buffalo your looking at probly another 7.5 beetween the 2 your getting close to 20 million (18 to be exact) the Golden Horseshoe is becoming very similar to the East Coast Metropolis we see from Boston to Washington.
On another note watch for Ottawa-Hull and Montreal, PQ to grow closer and closer together, It will take a good 10 years but when they do, it will be another big metropolis, (Ottawa-Hull 1.1 Million, Montreal, PQ 3.8 Million) there are plans to add a high speed rail line beetween the two in the next few years that will make the 1 hour drive (city limit to city limit) take only 35 minutes on the train. Just some interesting things to watch for in the future!
Toronto is a fine city, but no skyline match for Chicago.
That's a great shot of Big John
I'm from Toronto and we're not even close to having what Chicago has.
Slyine-wise: No. Although the greater Toronto skyline is massive.
City-wise: Without question, Toronto is the better city.
Chicago's skyline is gigantic. It's not the City of Big Shoulders for nothin'...even its skyline is broad and muscular. There's no comparison. However, I'd say that Toronto is a better city when it comes to quality-of-life.
And Chicago may be getting that New Trump Tower. If it does, then Toronto will have to work much harder to even come close. Although I've been to Toronto and up in the CN Tower and I must say it's a great city. However, Chicago has a much bigger skyline and especially if this new Trump Tower gets built there. Can you all tell I'm excited about the Trump Tower?
Did you guys hear that there is also a Trump tower Planned for Toronto?

As you can guess im also excited about what the great trump has in the works for both Chicago and Toronto
Chicago wins this one. Toronto's proposed Trump building doesn't look to bad. Very nice.
Chicago's skyline is much more impressive.
Toronto skyline is much more beautiful and ordered.
Torontos downtown skyline starts right at the waters edge, our does not.
Ours also has alot of gaps that are not really apparent in photos.
And also, Toronto must have more occupied taller buildings than chicago since it is many times more dense that Chicago.
So I think there are many points of comparision.
TORONTO VS CHICAGO - Who has the better skyline!
I vote for Chicago!
Toronto has a beutiful skyline though. I wish I had lived there. Although soon I will be living in NY city (YES!!!). Chicago is a bigger metropolis though. Chicago is sort of overlook because of NY city. But it is a growing city and one day it will catch up to what NY is today. Ofcourse, NY city will be bigger when that happens.

sadly enough, I have to vote for chicago for a better skyline (even though I'm from Toronto)
Citywise however I think toronto is the best city in the world. Especially when we can claim the title of most ethnically diverse city in the world. I think WZ got too ambitious, lol
