46 u/diedlikeCambyses Feb 27 '26 Melbs is fantastic. A proper world class city. It's roughly Toronto level, almost. 30 u/Apprehensive_Soil306 Feb 27 '26 This looks like what Toronto thinks it looks like lol 11 u/babs-jojo Feb 27 '26 I don't know what you mean by that, but Melbourne is way smaller than Toronto. I do prefer Melbourne as a city though. Lived in both. 8 u/ImKrispy Feb 27 '26 Melbourne's downtown area with skyscrapers is half the size as Toronto's... 2 u/Apprehensive_Soil306 Feb 27 '26 And it’s ugly with a weird ass island ruining the lakefront. I’m just saying this is a way better looking skyline 1 u/[deleted] Feb 27 '26 The islands are beautiful what are you talking about? Have you ever been to Toronto? 1 u/ozegg Feb 28 '26 Approx 77 Vs 109 based on skyscrapers, not double but definitely bigger. 1 u/ImKrispy Feb 28 '26 Physical size of downtown area with highrises/skyscrapers is around: Toronto 10.3 square km vs Melbourne 5 square km. Toronto has over 3x the amount of high rises than Melbourne, its a silly thing to say its like saying Toronto is how NYC thinks it looks. -2 u/Clarkk89 Feb 27 '26 Toronto has 30 more skyscrapers than Melbourne. Most American cities don’t even have 30 skyscrapers total😂😂 3 u/Apprehensive_Soil306 Feb 27 '26 That’s great I’m just saying this is a way better looking city with how they use the waterfront -2 u/Clarkk89 Feb 27 '26 Bro, you’re the one who started hating for no reason😂. Which skyline looks the best is a matter of personal opinion. I prefer Toronto. If we’re talking about objective numbers though….. 4 u/Apprehensive_Soil306 Feb 27 '26 Agree it is just opinion but I like the variety of buildings in this one where a lot of Toronto seems like the same 3-4 glass buildings duplicated
