The thing I don't like too much is that the bases on some of those skyscrapers are too tall and distracting. Plus the glass on many of these buildings is too reflective. Some buildings with more transparent glass would look great in this city, specially because of the location. Greenery should also be included in the main downtown area not just across the river. Or maybe some green space that's on on the roof top of a 10 story podium. Maybe it's the lack of plazas [from what I see in pictures] that makes everything look so dense and busy.

A "smoother" skyline would help. Are there height restrictions in areas?

Also, how many people use the monorail? Is it a tourist attraction or is it actually used for mass transit?
