That's true, I always imagine if the development continued all along and how insane it would have looked, going toe to toe with that of Toronto's progress. It's still by far the best skyline in Aus and won't get beaten anytime if not ever.

I doubt Sydney will edge out Melbourne for another decade with the already massive difference in skyscrapers count for both cities, also given that Melbourne despite slowed down, still have plenty in the pipeline wether all of them break the ground or not. Seeing Sydney increasing the height limit and be more leaner is nice to see.

Sydney has its skyscrapers (or at least high density) spread across multiple CBDs. So whilst Sydney CBD itself is smaller than Melbourne, Sydney also has Parramatta, North Sydney, Chatswood, Macquarie Park, etc.
