Show your city's density

[inozenziot]

Whats the size of the Richmond metro area?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It's only about 1.2 million people, I believe.

Norfolk, Va. skyline.

^ How many DTs can you go to and see a world war 2 battleship!

I will try to get a better shot of the skyline.

[RustTown]

Well, my hometown isn't all that dense, but presents some impressive angles.

Lansing,MI

A few more of Detroit:

I didn't imagine Lansing that large... Looks good, though!

Here are some Pittsburgh pictures I got from Google:

View of the Oakland neighborhood (University district) with Downtown in the background.

Downtown

The pictures of Detroit on this page (and page 1 posted by Allan) are breathtaking.

Also, Columbia, SC showed suprising density from the picture far away.

Finally, Sao Paulo just goes to show how dense and urban the rest of the world can be. I tend to forget this while living the American dream here - house in the burbs with a huge fenced in yard where the only thing in walking distance is the mail box.

A few shots from Minneapolis:

This first one pre-dates at least 1960 as the IDS tower hadn't gone up yet and there are no freeways in sight.

This one shows one of the newest condo developments down town. There are a lot more projects proposed and the added population downtown will increase the density quite a bit as the CBD transforms from the traditional conal pyramid look to a more broad area with several more tall towers.

Here's one of downtown Atlanta from above. The pic's a bit dated, though.

Hartford

That's all pre-convention center....

Tel Aviv - Israel

Well, I haven't taken any Freehold pictures recently, so I'll do my second home:

Lansing is a lot bigger than what I thought. I had no idea !!!

Ya, Lansing has a pretty good sized, balanced skyline.

[Snowguy716]

I never would have thought that Tel Aviv was so beautiful!

But I guess it just shows my own ignorance to all the hidden jewels in this world.

I like high density,but that area of Sao Paulo is just ridiculous. The only reason I could fathom why they built so many high rise residentials so close together is they must of had a severe housing shortage. It's like build me high rises and build lots of them and quick.

New Orleans

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That photo shows you why New Orleans is the 5th most densely populated urban area in the United States,of areas over 500,000. The area is almost literally an island,you can't build north because of Pontchartrain,and it's completely surrounded by swamps. There's not much area to build on,unless you reclaim from swamp. If New Orleans ever became a hot spot like Phoenix I could imagine high rise residentials popping up all over the place.

Sydney. You can see all of downtown in this pic.

Also, try clicking on the pic.

Rotterdam, the Netherlands:

sao paulo blew the rest away

It looks really trashy though...everything looks the same

Uptown:

[Mith242]

I wish I had some pics of some of those housing/apartment complxes built over the roadways that they have over in Rotterdam. There's a good sign of density there.

[JB04]

houston has a very dense downtown area

atlanta isnt very dense...
