American skylines 2021.
Be sure to watch part 1 first: • Cities with Most Skysc...
USA is the birthplace of the skyscraper. North America is the continent with the 2nd largest number of skyscrapers in the world! Cities like New York and Chicago were the first cities in the world with skyscrapers and almost all fairly large American cities have a decent skyline. There are also lots of skyscrapers in Canada and Mexico. Ever since the early 20th century most skyscrapers were built in North America, but the continent has lost the skyscraper race to Asia recently. The tallest buildings in the world were all in the USA, like Empire State Bldg, the old World Trade Center and Sears Tower, until Malaysia took the title thanks to the spires of the Petronas Towers. However, Sears Tower still had the title of the world’s tallest building to the roof until Taipei 101 was completed in 2004. Even though there are no megatalls under construction in North America, cities like New York, Miami and Toronto are still building many new skyscrapers.

I just love, love, love Toronto's skyline!!
New York, Chicago and Toronto are my favourites! Have been to all of them. The other cities seem very nice as well. :)
Toronto's skyline has been changing every six months. The amount of new skyscrapers going up is unbelievable. Almost record pace.
Really cool video, although there are a few things I want to point out. The Sears Tower (Willis Tower) is no longer the second tallest building in the US, it has been beat by the Central Park Tower which now has the tallest roof height in the Western Hemisphere. Also, Miami has the third most skyscrapers in America, but not the third tallest like you mentioned. The third "tallest" city in the US is Philadelphia in terms of the number of buildings over 800 ft. It's interesting too because in the near future, Philly is going to become pretty close in cityscape height to Chicago and Toronto with a lot of new groundbreaking developments coming within the next 10 years, so it's only going to get taller.
Yes the numbers change fast! Thank you for watching and comments!
I’ve been to New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, I love all those cities for their unique culture and energy they bring. I can honestly say I’m so proud of Toronto for its exponential growth. It’s the loner metropolis when compared to American cities that can help eachother inside their borders. And it seems to be still sky rocketing 😲
Houston too
@@houstontexas8738 oh definitely, they both are leaders in that aspect👍👍
@@houstontexas8738 Houston is not even close
Houston may not have as many as NYC, Chicago or Toronto but it most definitely has a nice expanding skyline with new buildings either going up or proposed.
@@dariusbrock2351 Houston isn't building. It stopped growing long time ago because commercial buildings are not in fashion these days. Most new skyscrapers coming out of NYC Toronto Miami and Chicago are residential and we all know Houston loves sprawl. So it's gonna go down to Miami.
Ever since I moved to Toronto eight years ago, there’s probably like 50 new buildings around the GTA
Great video!
Thanks, NiceWalk 4K!
Cost more to build in NA and the upper floors are unusable in the builds overseas
New York is US largest city only by population, Jacksonville FL is bigger than NY in size
I always wondered why LA never went the hundreds of tall buildings route. If you didn't better you wouldn't know it was a mega city like NY. Almost 20 million people stay in LA.
I always thought the same. There are skyscrapers in downtown LA and Century City, but that's it. May be the city planners want to give priority to lowrise private residences.
LA IS IN A SWAMP AND DESERT
CANT BUILD THERE CHEAP
WHO CARE ANYWAY
THE WORLD ALWASYS LOOKED UP TP AMERICA
THATS GONE
FUCK LA
ITS A SHIT WHOLE
GO CHECK OUT TORONTO CANADA
THE WORLD IS POURING MONEY IN BECAUS ITS THE BEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT
LA IS STALE
They had building regulations b/c of the earthquakes .....
@@dewaynepatrick6794 But skyscrapers are the strongest buildings to registrera earthquakes and they already have lots of them downtown and Tokyo has a a massive number of skyscrapers despite being an earthquake zone.
You forgot Calgary.....far more impressive skyline than either Montreal or Vancouver.
I have to be honest here, I wanted to include Calgary but had no clips unfortunately (but many from Montreal and Vancouver). In future videos that will not be a problem. Toronto is in top 6 so it had to be included (and many clips available).
There's a city law in Montreal: no taller than 250 meters. So building won't block the scenic from the Mount-Royal belvedere. I think it's a good idea. On beautiful sunnydays, you can see , from the belvedere, the Adirondack mountains in NY state.
@@peteplata that’s where I always go right before I would leave Montréal and drive back to New Jersey when I lived up north. I took many NYC area friends to Montréal who never went or had interest who all fell in love with the city
YES
FOR SURE AND PAIDED FOR NOT LIKE BANK RUPPED CHICOGO
Central Park tower is tallest by roof height now I believe
Yes, 432 Park Ave tallest roof height of completed buildings. This year (2021) One WTC will have onlty the 3rd tallest roof height in NYC, but still tallest to the spire, that is the official height.
The world trade center is taller then the 423 park avenue and central park
@@ANGELEDITZ7 Not by roof height
@@ANGELEDITZ7 Sears is 'taller' as-is CPT. Including a 'structural;' and not non-structural antennas/masts is a gimmick now used. Same has happened in LA. Wilshire is not 'tallest', but because of a 'structural' antenna/mast it is.
@@billhosko7723 what I'm trying to say is that the antenna makes it taller. The antenna makes the building taller because it makes it 1792 ft tall with the internal and there no other building that is 17
92 in the U.S
Interesting that Canada has more skyscrapers per capita than the US.
You omitted San Antonio, TX. 15 skyscrapers.
That is because San Antonio has only one skyscraper that has the official height over 150m, that is the limit in this video.
They mentioned houstons skyscrapers where built from oil money in the 80,s but they forgot to mention Miami's skyscrapers were built on drug money in the 80,s "true fact"
:D
BOTH CITIES ARE RUN DOWN AND ON DECLINE
@Rob M That is a lie because Miami only had 6 Skyscrapers until 1999. Most of the so called drug money was used to buy up existing properties not build new ones.
L.A. downtown not too impressive for size of city. Some of your images are more than 5 years old. Waited long time to post?
No, it is almost brand new, these were the clips that were available while creating the video unfortunately. But in future videos only newer and high quality clips will be included. Yes, LA has very few skyscrapers for its size.
Los Angeles has a lot of earthquakes, not the best location for skyscrapers.
@@tjr4459 That doesn't make sense. Tokyo has earthquakes and a lot of skyscrapers, and so has San Francisco. Skyscrapers are very stable, they are among the safest buildings you can be in during an earthquake.
@@worldtravelimagesnet Tokyo has many high rises but not high skyscraper count for its size either.
@@ahmedzakikhan7639 True
Jersey city should be up here.
Yes, wanted to include JC and also Denver etc but the video would have been too long. Next time it will definately be included since several 150m+ skyscrapers have been completed in JC!
Central Park Tower roof height = 1550 feet. Tallest in North America.
Tallest to roof height, yes. But One WTC is 1776 ft to the spire, and spires are counted in the official height according to official international standards.
great video but you made a mistake, the tallest building in Latinoamerica is in Mexico, in Monterrey with the obispado towers. the tallest one is 305m, the second place is in Chile with the Costanera center in Santiago which is 300m
Thanks, glad you like it! I have separated it into continents, so Chile is in the South America part (and Costanera Center is South America's tallest), you can check it out here: th-cam.com/video/SZHd-QAGMdU/w-d-xo.html
This video is not about which city has the tallest buildings, it is about cities with largest number of skyscrapers (most skyscrapers). About Mexico, there are more skyscrapers in Mexico City then in Monterrey so that is why it was included. There are many important cities that couldn't be featured in this video, because it would be way too long so I included the 6 cities with most skyscrapers plus some other cities with many tall buildings in the end.
You didn’t say how many skyscrapers total NYC had I’m curious to know.
Yes, at 2:01, under each city's namn is the number. 321 skyscrapers.
Which one is your favourite city? Which skyline surprised you the most? Which cities have you been to? World Travel Images would love to know!

Toronto's metro population appears low because of how Canada defines metropolitan. You should have included the population of Golden Horseshoe.
May be I do that in the next time then.
500 THOUSAND A DAY DRIVE ON THE 401 THROUGH TORONTO
GUESS THAT DOESNT COUNT
TORONTO WILL CATCH UP FAST
EVERYTHING IS NEW NOT LIKE ROTTING CHICOGO .
IM SURE CALGARY AND EDMONTON ALBERTA WILL WAY SURPASS CHICGAGO SOON
FEED YOUR STARVING MASSES
AMERICANS LIKE BOOSTING
READ THE WRITING ON THE WALL
NO BODY GIVES A FUCK ANYMORE
YOUR CITY IS BROKE
Golden horseshoe must have over a million people....
@@dewaynepatrick6794 You mean 10 million.
@@ahmedzakikhan7639 oh......I thought Canada itself only had 30 million total? Thanks for the info
Toronto actually has a bigger population and skyscraper count than Chicago. Please fix this mis information
You are totally wrong about skyscraper count, Chicago has 135 and toronto 83 skycrapers over 150m completed at least in 2021. If you look again, Toronto's city population is slightly larger then Chicago's in the presentation just like you said. (Chicago's metro population is slightly bigger though).
Oh stop, Toronto is half the population of Chicago and Chicago has a lot more skyscrapers than Toronto.
@@jacklewis5452 Soon leaving it behind. i mean in next 8 years toronto would leave chicago behind in city population, metro population as well as skyscrapers. It is alsready ahead in overall highrises !
@@manansethi2865 who cares, it’s still far behind New York City.
@@californiamade5608 is it a competition ? I was just stating facts. Anyways cali doesnt have many skyscrapers but it is one of my favourite states. Especially santa barbara. So idk
7:11 Panamá es Centroamérica, no es Norteamérica...
Central America is part of the continent of North America. Central America is not a continent of its own.
@@worldtravelimagesnet Nosotros los latinos dividimos a América en Sudamérica, Centroamérica y Norteamérica en los mapas
@@martinaguirre5646 América Central es la parte sur del continente de América del Norte. Este video trata sobre continentes y América Central no es un continente, aunque entiendo que está en su mapa.
