London, Ontario has a impressive skyline (pop. 475 000)

London has a great skyline for such a small population.

That's probably the land that either was previously owned, was donated, or was more affordable. It's easy to sit back and criticize a development in hindsight without knowing the details.

Trenton, NJ, has a notable skyline, too, but again, it's considered a part of the Philadelphia area (same size).

Its CSA is combined with Boston, but that's different from its MSA. Providence has an MSA of around 1.6 million.

Providence's MSA is over one million, which is why I have not added it's picture to this page.

MSA population of 1,124,197. Nice skyline, but almost twice the upper limit for this thread.

Old&New · #**249** Posted **Jul 8, 2012, 7:03 AM**

Salt Lake City proper has a population of 189,899... Oh, I see, "metro population," sorry

Yeah, otherwise someone could pass off Cleveland or Miami as a "small city."

And charmedone, nice suburban skylines, but their metro area is only about 30 times too big for this list.

The thread's for best skyline's of cities, whose metro area has 600,000 or less.

These three are part of Greater NY, as I'm sure you know.

I keep wanting to add Albany, NY, which has the most impressive skyline I've ever seen for a town of less than 100K, but this area has over a million.

But that view shows the city's asshole (ugly back-end).

Since I'm the one who killed this wonderful thread, maybe I should revive it.

Surprisingly no one has mentioned Juneau, AK!!! The hidden gem of the Western US.

Population: 32,164... period. No MSA.
