But overall, I don't think you can realistically rank Chicago ahead of Vancouver for secondary skylines.
Chicago has an unbelievably giant and tall downtown clump that far surpasses anything in Vancouver,
but 99% of the non-downtown highrises in the entire metro area are all piled up along the lakefront.
There are no real inland secondary skyscraper nodes of note.

The quality of buildings , specifically the amount of pre-war high rise stock in Chicago, is also significantly more comprehensive than Toronto, Vancouver or Miami.
Chicagos beauty , layout and orderliness is unmatched. It's a curated museum of the skyscraper which can never be replicated. Even though Toronto has the edge in volume with all the construction and proposals and multiple nodes , the quality isnt there.
