Hello again.
Today I decided to make an official list of 'The World's Top Skyline City'
Well as you all should know, skyline city mean:
A skyline is best described as the overall or partial view of a city's tall buildings and structures consisting of many skyscrapers in front of the sky in the background. It can also be described as the artificial horizon that a city's overall structure creates. Skylines serve as a kind of fingerprint of a city, as no two skylines are alike. For this reason news and sports programs, television shows, and movies often display the skyline of a city to set location. The Sky Line of New York City was a new term in 1896, when it was the title of a color lithograph by Charles Graham for the color supplement of the New-York Journal.[1]
Paul D. Spreiregen, FAIA, has called a skyline "a physical representation [of a city's] facts of life ... a potential work of art ... its collective vista."[2]
In general, larger cities have broader and taller skylines, though lower density cities often have smaller skylines than expected for city size. Taller buildings are found where either land value or desire for visibility is higher, and the tallest buildings in a city are usually office buildings. Because of this, the skyline of a city can be seen as symbolic of the city's influence and economy.
This is yet the longest thread I ever made on any forum. Lmao.
All the picture is found on google and some other website. All picture are belong to their respective owner.
Remember, all this thing is made by me. No one may take it and post in another any place on internet.
It take lots of time for me to make this thread, I have to search on google and certain website for picture, I have to write those word, but no the 'What is mean by Skyline City', that was found on wikipedia.
