I want to see how your city skyline will look in the near future..
Please post renderings of planned buildings (proposed, approved or u/c) for your city and/or how your city will look when the building(s) are completed.
I'll start this off...

Well, I can't draw renderings, but Stamford, CT's skyline will be changing dramatically by 2015. For its population size, approximately 120,000 people, Stamford has a huge corporate headquarters presence, and a very solid office tower/condo tower skyline.
These are projects under construction:
*RBS Headquarters: 12 stories
*The Highgrove luxury condos: 18 stories
*Trump Parc Tower: 35 stories, 350 ft
*Harbor Point luxury hotel: 10 stories
*Harbor Point office tower: 12 stories, approx
Planned:
*Harbor Point Metro Tower: 18 stories
*Ritz-Carlton Condos/Hotel: 2 towers of 40 stories, 400 ft
*Tresser Blvd Hotel/Office complex: 2 towers of 30-35 stories each, 350-400 ft
All accross the country all of these big planned buildings and getting cancelled until after the crisis is over. Please only show buildings that are already under construction.

In that case, the appropriate word is "postponed." They will still be built.
Most of these "proposed" buildings are DOA due to the financial crisis, and the majority of them will very likely be abandoned forever or will be dramatically scaled down. It makes no sense to post what your skyline will look like in 3 years when most of these proposals were put forward before the market tanked. A lot of projects that are already under way are running into financing problems nationwide, so it's foolish to think that some of these extravagant proposals will ever make it past the rendering stage, even after the market rebounds (if it ever does).
I'm pleased to say that Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, PA continue to make a positive comeback in their urban cores. Their "skylines" may be LAUGHABLE to you big city folk, but they're still important to Pennsylvania nonetheless.
Here's a link to a PDF article about a few downtown developments in the Electric City:

Not quite, many corporations have been damaged to the point where these plans are no longer conducive to their business model and/or plan to consolidate with other corporations.
This is 5 phase mixed-use development. Phase 1 was the recently completed condo tower on the left, phase 2 is under construction in the center of the view with a Loew's Hotel, more condo's, an office tower and a retail gallery.
This building was financed and built on spec (without a predetermined tenant), and now surprise surprise they are having enormous difficulties trying to lease it out.
The sites have been cleared for 110 First Street (~400 ft), 111 First Street (~550 ft), 50 Hudson Street (~500 ft) and City Centre Towers (~700 ft), but it doesn't appear that any progress toward getting construction underway has occurred yet.
