Im suprised by the response. Although hong kong is said to have to have the best skyline it does not have the character of new york and chicago.

Which is exactly what you asked for, so why are you surprised by the response?
Well yeah, much of Hong Kong isn't even 20 years old. Hence why the skyline looks so amazing, everything in it is modern and cutting edge architecture. Meanwhile New York and Chicago are largely historic cities and thus don't look as impressive although thanks to being historic a lot of their buildings have a lot of culture in them. European cities are at the extreme of that since they have buildings several hundred or even thousands of years old.Im suprised by the response.

I'm going to say Sydney, simply because the shapes of the buildings are pretty unique compared to other cities.
New York has a great mix of classic and modern skyscrapers
The new WTC complex will make the city look more modern
Vancouver would be second IMO, it might not have the sheer number of tall buildings that other major citiers have (that picture is a little outdated anyway) but the city's natural beauty makes up for it
Why are the options exclusive to major cities. Large concrete skyscrapers aren't attractive. Natural beauty is more attractive.

Hong Kong Chicago Shanghai Singapore Sydney tops my list
Being Canadian I thought Toronto has a world class skyline also, it's an achievement really, in a country so vast with little population, people tend to spread and don't build up, yet Toronto has an impressive skyline.

Pretty cool skyline with some nice looking building. It's well balanced, but being Los Angeles, you'd expect a more impressive one:)

Take a gander...
Now you may be asking "What Skyline?" To that I answer "Nature's..."
All the skylines are nice, but to me, New York and Chicago stood out. I voted for New York, though. :)
