Tools: I used Reddit’s API to get the cities posted In the top 100 posts in the past month, and cities not listed in the title I manually found out the cities based on images. 2 posts were memes and did not include cities.
Techwise use React.js chart libraries to display data.
Wow, no Hong Kong? I thought HK had the most skyscrapers of any city in the world plus several very photogenic skylines.
Dubai is going to be pissed.
How is this a beautiful visualization of data? Feels super basic.
Nice! No surprise Los Angeles does not rank high on this chart – If I recall correctly, there was law that required Skyscrapers to have a helipad and that resulted in some uninteresting flat-topped buildings and a not-so-special skyline. Since that expired in 2017, there have been some unique and innovative designs on new skyscrapers and hopefully we can climb in the rankings!
Uh why is San Jose on the list? The city is more like a giant suburb
I like how Albany, San Jose and Pyongyang made the list. Definitely a valid source of data
You know I have to ask what “none” is supposed to mean here.
No Singapore is WILD, one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever seen
Los Angeles shouldn’t even have sky scrapers. It’s not the place for it. Los Angeles should be like Tokyo where the builds are spread out and sort of high.
The concept of Los Angeles’s downtown is a creation of transplants with shit for brains who think cities should have one major origin.
Tokyo isn’t on that list.
Dude, this is most “posted” cities. NOT “loved.” Wth is Pyongyang even 2?
How you could think this is a beautiful vis is beyond me.
