Cities with small skylines that will/expected to make big changes
Not sure if this has been discussed but what are some cities with small skylines that will/expected to make big changes. Can be any cities not just American.

i think it's only been discussed about sixty-seven thousand times so we probably need another thread about it. and a bunch of slight variations on the same topic couldn't hurt—like a separate thread for every possible combination of definitions of "small" and "tall," etc.

I would put it at 67,487 threads.

Oakland has always been overshadowed by SF, but it has the potential to get at a little bit closer.
https://live.staticflickr.com/412/31...857ed9a4_b.jpgOakland-San Francisco Bay by Marquis Houghton, on Flickr There's a decent amount of construction going on right now, and this proposal for a new tallest at 622 ft. https://i.imgur.com/2fDo5Yp.png https://i.imgur.com/Yf3ghNt.png?1 https://aca-prod.accela.com/OAKLAND/...cyCode=OAKLAND |
^ cool!
i didn't know about that oakland proposal. that would be a very big deal for the bay area's second skyline. |
Is Oakland benefiting from SF's growth? Like Jersey City, I would think it would be ripe for condos (overlooking SF skyline and the Bay Bridge) as well as office space escaping the cost in SF.

the tallest building in oregon is 546 feet. thats huge.
i just looked up tallest for san jose and its hight restricted, i wondered why the buildings were short. ive never been to oakland though. |

Right, Oakland isn't really analogous to Jersey City.
Downtown Oakland is 10 miles from downtown SF, which is further than, say, downtown Newark is to Manhattan. And downtown Oakland isn't on the water, or oriented towards SF. I don't doubt that Oakland is benefiting from the overall high prices in the Bay Area, but isn't really overflow from downtown SF. A lot of the gentrifying parts of Oakland seems to be overflow from Berkeley, actually. West Oakland, closest to the water and SF, seems to the be roughest area. It's more like two separate metros that eventually merged into one, rather than a satellite city. |
Yeah, wasn't sure; Oakland seemed a bit further away from SF than JC is to NYC. I was there in March and the two cities did seem pretty 'distant' figuratively and literally.

Vaughn, Ontario with around 300,000 people, is leaping from suburban sprawl into the skyline game. In the next decade the city expects to add more than 12,000 high-rise residential units, 1.5 million square feet of office space, and 750,000 square feet of new retail space.
Sort of Mississauga redux.... https://www.canadianarchitect.com/wp...3/VN-8-VMC.jpg link This throw-back, stepped 60 storey brick tower should have been built downtown. https://prnewswire2-a.akamaihd.net/p.../100011/type/1 link |

Probably many Eastern European cities, I'd guess.
