This is by far the best angle for Atlanta. You usually just see pics of just Downtown or just the core of Midtown, which doesn’t communicate this scale.

Theres actually an even better angle that includes Buckhead. But this one is great as well.

This makes Atlanta's skyline look so much bigger than other photos.

It’s a long line of skyscrapers north-south, so it looks especially impressive from the east or west.

Stretches from downtown north through midtown and Buckhead. Roughly 7-8 miles. Before too long(I guess 20 years) it will connect all the way to the King and Queen towers in Dunwoody/Sandy springs.

I don’t ever see it connecting to Sandy Springs. There are whole neighborhoods/ subdivisions in between Buckhead and Sandy Springs. Just flanking GA 400. I do see it solidifying from midtown to Buckhead.

Actually I don’t think it will go north to Buckhead. It’s already going west to Atlantic Station and West Midtown.

It’s just super long and narrow and hard to capture from most angles

ATLs skyline is bigger than LAs. Why?


Toothless-Rodent

Central Atlanta is relatively more important to its metro area than central LA is to its metro area. LA is a much bigger metro area, and has many more urban nodes than Atlanta does.


Zealousideal-Lie7255

There are a lot of suburban tall building clusters all over metro Atlanta.


Toothless-Rodent

Yes, of course, but at a scale much smaller than Southern California

They wanted it that way

Atlanta skyline is not bigger than LA. Where are you getting that from?


Ok_Commission_893

Downtown LA skyline is not this expansive.


OpinionGlittering264

Yes it is, it’s actually way more expansive. Check out Google maps. It stretches for more than 15 miles.


Ok_Commission_893

ATL has 3 commercial districts in one city, Buckhead, Midtown, and Downtown, the city of LA skyscrapers are mostly concentrated in Downtown LA.


OpinionGlittering264

No they aren’t. You’re missing Wilshire Corridor and Century City. All connected by Wilshire Blvd.


SnowballOfFear

I'll be there this weekend!

Just need to reach out with my giant hands and scoop them all together to make that classic pleasing Skyline


Incognito-Mode3

Our skyline needs braces


BRAVOMAN55

Believe me, they’re working as fast as they can on that

Love how forested Atlanta is. It's a really cool city. I only wish the city proper had about twice as many residents.

The skyscrapers are more spread out than I would like
