you mean for a 2million city? I'd honestly rank SF and Seattle higher than Vancouver

Looks pretty cozy. Then again, San Francisco looks decently cozy even today.
I have a lot of pictures of Pittsburgh in the 70's
>>62051211

Very interesting. Charles Cushman took a lot of Color Photographs from the 40s through the 60s of cities such as Chicago, NYC, and San Francisco. You can browse them at https://webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/cushman/index.jsp if you're interested.

i thought you hated japanese cities
My city
>>62051398
God I love nyc, although i can't remember the time before manhattan aparently got pussified, first time i was there was 2005. they say it was a real shithole in the 70s and 80s
no skyscrapers in my city.
>>62051603
This is a goldmine.
Thank you.
>>62051710
No problem senpai
>>62045682
wow what city is that? is it in poland?
>>62051800
That's Hong Kong
>>62051800
>Not recognizing Hong Kong, the most famous Polish city
venice
>>62051689
You can always visit Brownsville if you want that 80's feel.
people often fail to grasp just what kind of monstrosity nyc is. this is an incomplete birds eye view of manhattan, which is only one of five boroughs of the city, the central section is a forest that's called central park. the fact that something this overpopulated was ever built is amazing
>>62051996
Why are people obsessed with Poland?
>>62052367
>tfw everyone forgets Staten Island
They did try to secede from the city in the 90's though so I guess they deserve to be forgotten.
>>62052550
Growing up, I thought Coney Island was the fifth borough of NYC, desu.
dublin
>>62052591
It's just really forgettable; I thought it was Long Island.
>>62051639
why though?
>>62051662
how come Milan is so classy(both classical and modern)
>>62051800
>is it in poland?
top kek
>>62052645
Reminds me of Picadilly Circus
>>62052550
never been, but the manhattan and brooklyn people all say its basically jersey. it's enough to frighten away any unsuspecting tourist
>>62053124
I'd say it's more of a mix of NYC and upstate NY if anything.
>>62052698
Thank you mate, It's nice to see that not everyone hates Milano
>>62053296
I'll give it a shot in september when they call on me again, i have to see it all anyway. it's really inexplicable why i love that fucking city so much, i've seen big cities before, but they all fade compared to nyc. nyc is the most crowded, it has the most people in the smallest area and it's beautiful. a beautiful catastrophe, as a great man once said.
>>62053672
It's always nice to hear someone with a positive opinion of the city. I hope you enjoy your next visit.
tokyo is the only city that feels monstrously big to me.
It doesn't make me hate it though because you know that the whole thing is relatively nice
>>62052367
I always find it fascinating how NYC turned out to be such a large and influential city. I sometimes cycle/walk past the former headquarter of the Dutch West India Company (pic related). This is where the order was given to build the first building ever (a fort) in Manhattan. The center of Amsterdam barely changed since those days, while the settlement in Manhattan grew out to be one of the biggest and certainly the most influential city in the world.
>>62053968
oh it's big as fuck, but it's spaced out. only the bronx is actually on the mainland in nyc, all the other sections are islands. they're much more crowded than any other city with even greater populations.
>>62054051
Legend has it that the island of Manhattan was bought from the local Indians for 24 guilders, and currently has by far the most valuable real estate in the world. And IIRC, it's called "Wall Street" because that's where the wall was - very interesting given that it's south of Houston Street, and makes you think how small it originally was.
>>62053968
There has to be slums somewhere in there...
>>62054086
Brooklyn alone would be the 4th-largest American city, behind only the rest of NYC, LA, and Chicago.
>>62053968
Ever been to LA?
>>62054518
now why'd you have to go and ruin a perfectly good thread?
>>62053420
w-why would anyone hate that wonderful city
>>62054239
nah
of course there are some poorer areas but there are no actual slums in Tokyo
>>62054608
that's even more spooky than the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. and europeans wonder why everyone thinks we have vampires
>>62053968
this place is not only big but infernal
>>62054787
it's ebin just because it's spooky
also it's not really that spooky in full light, it's more like ornate and decorated
proposed jap skyscraper
>>62055358
i thought japs have height restrictions due to earthquakes
>>62055358
>>62055389
99.99% sure it won't ever happen
>>62046365
Sure
>>62055389
They have the technology for that by now. It's just expensive and the relevant cities have airport regulations, alas limiting height.
That project right there will never happen, though, and rightfully so. Doesn't even look like a building.
>>62055590
ok
>>62056378
IDK how this would work, but my votes for Round 1 are:
-Dubai
-Tokyo
-Shenzhen
-NYC
-Guangzhou
-Shanghai
-Singapore
-Chicago
>>62056589
ayy lad there will be "battle" threads with polls in them
I've just posted the ladder
>>62056984
My bad desu senpai
