Although it has always fared poorly in terms of skyline for such a huge city, London will be up there in quite possibly less than 5 years time (if their current u/c scrapers are finished in time for the Olympics). The city has 2 major clusters (the City and Canary Wharf), both of which are growing rapidly, despite the current global economic crisis (thanks to a lot of Arab investment).

Where are Shanghai and Brisbane?
Not sure whether I agree with Houston, London, and Paris.
Shanghai yes, but Brisbane? You are joking, right?
Two cities that I can't stop marveling at the skylines are New York and Hong Kong. Hong Kong is astonishing because it doesn't have just one skyline, it has skylines everywhere you turn. Everything in the entire city is built upwards and nearly the entire population of 8 million are housed in towering apartment blocks. I think either NY or HK has the world's most impressive built skylines. Most other cities just don't come close.
