Definitely Kalamazoo. More dense, more buildings, and a bit taller.

Huntsville needs work on their skyline. It's small for the city size and its potential growth trajectory.

Pittsburgh, PA or Austin, TX?

Pittsburgh because it looks denser and has better architecture. Austin has probably passed Pittsburgh in size and number of tallest buildings, however.

Boise, ID or Birmingham, AL?

Birmingham.

Boise has the more dramatic mountainous backdrop, but it’s skyline looks about like Chattanooga’s. Birmingham’s is noticeably denser.

Greenville, SC or Baton Rouge, LA?

I like Greenville's better due to the aesthetic of the buildings. A bit better overall.

Chattanooga, TN or Asheville, NC?

Asheville, I would legitimately be willing to say that Asheville has the best US skyline for a city under 100k.

Madison, WI vs. Grand Rapids, MI

Grand Rapids. The buildings are more distinctive. The region is growing so I wouldn't be surprised if there are more new towers going up.

St. Louis, MO vs. Cleveland, OH?

Easily Cleveland. Cleveland could use a couple more towers in the 500-700 foot range, and a bit more density, but overall it has a decent skyline.
St Louis has the gorgeous arch, of course, but the skyline leaves so much to be desired for a city with its legacy and history. A very underwhelming skyline.

Minneapolis or Atlanta?

Atlanta due to Midtown. I think Atlanta's midtown makes up for the dated downtown skyline. It makes Atlanta stand out.

Richmond, VA or Salt Lake City, UT?

I prefer Salt Lake City to Richmond. Salt Lake City has 2 or 3 decent skyscrapers under construction now, exceeding 300 feet. They'll most likely have more in the upcoming years too.

Against the mountain backdrop, it's a beautiful skyline with incredible growth potential.

Albuquerque, NM or Tucson, AZ?
