There was a time in the Middle Ages when religious communities actively competed with each other to build the largest, most prestigious cathedral. In those days, it was hubris to even consider building any structure higher than the local church tower. Today it's easy to compare skyscrapers. At night, the great cities of the world paint their skylines in glittering lights. By day, citizens whizz by on highways that are often themselves stunning feats of engineering. Coastal cities cast their reflections in the nearby waters for all to admire. In Chicago, the highest buildings vanish in cloud cover. New York, no longer the world's greatest, still has an immense presence that demands admiration. Across the pond, bustling London seems both timeless and eternal. Guangzhou, China vibrates with eternal motion. Kolkata, India seems immense in dimension and scope. These are just a few of the World Cityscapes featured in this group that is unashamedly urban. Share the skyscrapers that awe you and the cities that hold your heart.
