What makes hundreds of square kilometres of 12 storey buildings any more of a skyline than hundreds of square kilometres of 2 storey homes?

and your point is???? Have you even checked the TITLE of the thread?
That said, I think Shanghai has the most massive skyline. São Paulo MAYBE held the title till a few years (1 decade maybe) ago, but Shanghai has surpassed it.
I didnt post the pictures in the previous page to prove São Paulo´s skyline is more massive. Its quite subjective without real numbers.
Cello1974, a german who lived in Brazil and posted on SSC, once said he had a friend at São Paulo urban administration sector, and that he asked this friend for a list of all São Paulo buildings over 12 storeys (a highrise according the Emporis). The list said São Paulo had 48 thousand buildings with more than 12 storeys. The list was the same as the one used to charge property tax, so while fraud can mean its INCOMPLETE or has taller buildings listed as having less floors (to pay less tax), hardly the contrary is possible.
Quite hard to check the veracity of the story, unless some other forumer from SSC manages the same thing.
