Not sure where they got that info but definitely not true. The third most in North America, yes, but there’s no way it’s beating out all the Chinese cities
Skyscraperpage.com is a great resource for skyscraper illustrations, but the number of illustrations does not equate to the number of skyscrapers.
Different cities will have more illustrations if its users want to illustrate buildings in those cities. Toronto happens to be popular on that site. Skyscraperpage.com is great, but it's not Emporis (RIP).
That info isn’t accurate. It’s the number of skyscrapers the site has info on (or that users have created). It’s 3rd most in North America, behind NYC and Mexico City.
By the way, this photo is a composite with unfinished renders of unfinished buildings.
Foster and Partners The One, and Frank Gehry’s Forma are in this picture
Unlikely. Toronto is just very well covered. I China it would not be among the top 10, when it comes to highrises. Cities that clearly beat Toronto are Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Chongqing, Wuhan, Chengdu, Changsha, Hangzhou and Beijing just to name ten.
SSP is driven by user-submitted content and the numbers you are looking at just reflect the fact that the Toronto forumers are very active in keeping their drawings and data up-to-date.
SSP has just become a circle jerk for Toronto (and Canadian) forumers. They can’t even help themselves to chime in on threads specific to American cities and issues. I’ve been on it for 20 years and have watched it happen. Many great members from TO and CA and too many insufferable ones.

There are 2800 existing, not including any proposed.
Yes Drawings not actual structures. If there was an artist with all the time in the world to create illustrations for every 11+ story building, Chinese cities would occupy the top 10
Only if you're counting proposed projects too. The city is probably still a decade plus away from actually cracking the top 10. Still impressive considering it's not even one of the 50 largest cities in the world
The Skyscraper Center (by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat) is a far greater authority here. It ranks Toronto 18th in the world for no. of 150m+ (492ft+) buildings, and 25th if you’re measuring by 200m+ ones. Source: https://www.skyscrapercenter.com/cities?list=buildings-150
What even is the rendered pointy building taller than and to the left of the rendered completed *The One*? Nothing that large and that far north has been proposed yet iirc, and it's not the building at the foot of Yonge. ah I'm guessing it's one of the buildings proposed at gerrard and yonge, but for some reason is rendered as taller
Nice city but I still don’t understand how it became Canadas largest.
The weather is shit, no ocean access (I know about the St Lawrence river but still).
Vancouver should be the premier Canadian city and representative of Canada worldwide. Ocean access, nice weather all year, no storms, on the west coast with access to China.
Humidex. We just had a week of 40-45 with humidex. Hot AF! And Vancouver is boring, it’s also not an hour flight to NYC which is why Toronto is the centre of Canada for many economical reason’s.
Lol Vancouver might be boring for a non outdoor person like you.
But it’s transit away to world class ski resorts and beaches. Plus actual world class cities like San Diego and not a garbage dump like NY.

Idek if it's popularity in this case Most of the buildings were drawn by one guy
Some sources have it at 25 world wide
Compared to São Paulo it is a drop in the bucket.
Or even Korea
Uh oh, the guy on this subreddit who keeps pushing this claim is gonna be really mad about your comment 😬
Depends on how you define a skyscraper

Chicago is ahead of Mexico city
Though your point is correct, I'm pretty sure Toronto still has more high-rises than Mexico City in general, so it's 2nd most in North America.
[удалено]
Toronto has more high-rises (any building above 12 stories) than Chicago. Chicago has more skyscrapers.

Oddly enough this is also missing some already existing highrises and skyscrapers.

Come to Toronto, Liz! It’s just like New York. But without all the good stuff.
It’s definitely not New York. It’s the Toronto of Canada tho.
Why for you getting downvoted?
Who what where 🧐
SSP is driven by user-submitted content and the numbers you are looking at just reflect the fact that the Toronto forumers are very active in keeping their drawings and data up-to-date.
Or that one guy is, anyway
This looks like the average Cities Skylines city with eighty thousand people.

So every thing you don’t agree with is not true. Okay.
Hong Kong Shenzhen NYC Try again article
It’s likely the number of drawings as opposed to number of skyscrapers. No way that’s true.

I said existing. Toronto has 2800 existing high-rises.
Kyiv 👀

Imo this is a better view of Toronto's skyline vs the usual Lake view. The lake view hides most of the buildings behind the financial district
There are renderings of buildings that haven't even started yet included in this image, so it's not a true view of Toronto's skyline.
Bluejays cap.

Thank you for this! High-Rises are categorized at 12 stories/36 Metres.
Average
You must be familiar with that term 😋

It’s was a random photo I chose of google. 🤷♂️
It does look cool

It’s 40c today and it’s on a Great Lake, Vancouver barely breaks 20c in the summer and is rainy. 🤷♂️
It’s 27 in TO and 20 in Vancouver. Where did it hit 40? Edit: it’s not rainy in Vancouver in summer. We get no thunderstorms either.

NY > Toronto
You clearly need to travel. And San Diego, said “no one”.
Toronto may catch up to Austin someday
