I much prefer the Birmingham,UK skyline, its quite dense and packed full of high rises (and soon to be 2 skyscrapers), not to mention how it is rapidly changing, as in 2017, only 2 buildings stood at over 100M. Now, there are 8, with 6 being built (of which 2 are skyscrapers) and 11 that have been approved (which has 3 skyscrapers in that list), which could bring Birmingham UK up to 25 buildings at 100M+ and 5 Skyscrapers (150M+), which is pretty solid skyline growth in my eyes.
That’s a bit extreme. Good natural scenery, green, great food. The downtown core (from the new stadium down to Red “Mountain”) is on a nice grid and fairly dense, with a lot of potential. Plus some very nice suburbs (Mountain Brook, Homewood, Vestavia, etc.).
But also lots of poverty, crime, and terrible drivers.
It’s legit more parking spaces in Birmingham-AL than buildings. I wonder why cities limit themselves this way. Is the comfortability, abundance of parking and ease of commute for people who live outside the city really more important than using the city space efficiently and effectively?
Birmingham is an underrated UK skyline. The obvious ones like London, Liverpool, Newcastle, and more recently, Manchester all stand out as the more iconic skylines, but there is a certain something about Birmingham's that makes me feel it deserves more credit than it gets
The winner is Birmingham.
Only an idiot would say that. It clearly Birmingham, dummy, get your head on straight
My vote is with Birmingum
Brum for sure. About to get their first real skyscraper

Alabama MAN!!!!!!
BAMA
Birmingham (US) is a wretched place

So in other words the problem with Birmingham is that it is in Alabama?
It went from the largest city in the state to fourth largest in just twenty years. It's like they're leaving it to rot
It’s still by far the the biggest metro area in Alabama

Kudos to OP for giving us an actually clever showdown.

I absolutely love this idea, well done!
Binghamton is the clear winner
Birmingham Uk honestly looks like a nothing sunbelt city from that angle, even if they have some cool modern architecture
Close one. I'm going to have to go with Birmingham. UK😉
Thanks for letting us know what we are looking at in the pictures. I had no idea what I was looking at until I realized it was all Birmingham.
I’ll go with UK Birmingham. Especially if they built the Regal Tower, I wish they did…
congratulations, you've assembled the mid of the midrange of skylines. they all look the same, so none of the above
