From my experiences:
Los Angeles and Houston...
what about Phoenix?
It has no real true downtown but all of the suburbs have central business district areas. I remember downtown Scotsdale was almost bigger than central Phoenix. Tempe has the university strip; Chandler, Gilbert and Mesa all have central cities with built up areas so there really could be quite a number in Phoenix
Has it been awhile since you've been to Phoenix? I don't remember downtown Scottsdale ever being bigger than central Phoenix (???); however, I think Phoenix fits the bill with 2 "downtowns". Many people (when flying into Phoenix) have told me that they didn't understand why Phoenix had 2 downtowns (downtown and midtown corridor). That should change with the new projects in downtown; however it seems whenever there is a new proposal for downtown, there is another one to match for central corridor.
I Love this photo! It makes Century City looks so ominous:
i've been wondering this for like months. To me it looks like the skyline is taken in a reflection of another window, making it appear HUGE. Or are you actually looking at the city straight on??

I'm pretty sure it was taken straight on from the Northwest of Century City. I know for a fact it is northwest though. Most likely somewhere along Wilshire Blvd. UCLA is too far, it cant be north of Wilshire or you wouldnt see CC.
I think that of any of the cities cited here, Atlanta fits the criteria better than any.
You have three very distinct skylines within the city limits: Downtown, Midtown and Buckhead.
I believe that the latter two have now surpassed Downtown in the terms of aggregate commercial space.
I don't think downtown Atlanta and midtown Atlanta are really distinct anymore.
Chicago could slightly be considered for this catagory.
On the northwest side by O'Hare there are tons of office buidlings and hotels that all very tall and clutterd together that, when viewed from up above, can somewhat seem like a "second downtown"
I may be very wrong. But I don't think those clusters of buildings around O'Hare is actually the city of Chicago. I believe that's Rosemont. I could be wrong.
NYC actually has a 4th developing CBD...Long Island City (in Queens, across the river from Manhattan) in recent years has had a bunch of high rises, some over 40 stories, with more to come. This includes both residential and office towers.

You're correct. It's pretty much one skyline, with a minor gap or two.
