Urban Canyons Through Google Maps (houses, Connecticut, Indiana, Michigan)

[ischyros]

This is about as urban canyon as it gets in Indianapolis.

We may not have many urban canyons in Indianapolis but we have a cruise ship! At least that's what this condo building is typically referred to as.

https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&l...314.08,,0,0.14 Copenhagen, the closest it has to a new urban canyon. It's mostly mid rises though.
Here is an older part https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&l...4,,0,3.19&z=15

I don't think any of the non-historic core ones are really canyons. Wilshire's buildings are too sparse to make it an urban canyon. Besides I also think you missed the best canyon in the city, which is Broadway, looking from, I'd say 5th south.

Went through this place today. Guess it's the closest thing we have to a highrise canyon in this city. Streetview is a bit outdated.

Not canyon-like, but some narrow streets don't see much sun

Couple European attempts

Other side

Avenida Paulista in Sao Paulo is kind of canyon-like if you look far even if buildings are widely spaced:
https://maps.google.fr/maps?q=sao+pa...16.87,,0,-3.54

Midrises, but has that canyon feel:

Yeah I don't disagree with that.

I screwed up some of the streets in Minneapolis. Oh well, just know that I put the wrong link for Marquette Ave and mistakenly put 6th St S instead of 7th.

I have always thought of this street as an urban canyon: http://goo.gl/maps/osFqQ It really feels like a canyon, partly because all these buildings are so gray.
