Here, I will compare Edmonton (1.1 million) and Ottawa's (1.2 million) skylines to Providence (1.6 million) & Indianapolis (1.7 million). You'll note the American cities are slightly larger, but based solely on skyline (and yes, I know there are many other factors, but high rises are the topic of the thread) which do you think is larger or looks closer to perhaps 2 million?

Also, I don't think the tallness of buildings matters as much as the number of high rises. But that's my personal opinion.

Fixed. You should 'quote' this and 'copy' my message then 'edit' your previous message then 'paste' it.
