And people here say, I exaggerate! Good Lord.

Listen, there are not so many towers going up in anyone area that they cannot be counted. People act like it's impossible.

Tokyo is a city of 30 million people, and we can track all of their projects, New York is a city of 18 million and we can track what's going on there. Why can't we track Chinese cities with urban areas (not including the provincial farming lands of course) of less than half of that. Give me a break. As to Toronto, being on the bottom of any Chinese list, I really doubt that, as stated we can't get any verification of numbers that would put Toronto in a low spot, plus many chinese urban area are not built so tall as to even pass 100 meters, alot of Chinese cities are really just massive lowrise cores surrounded by massive amounts of farmland which are also counted towards their population count. I'll take the list that has been worked on by itoldyouso with his fellow Chinese forumers over speculation on unverified construction counts, anytime.
