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.

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!

I like how Albany, San Jose and Pyongyang made the list. Definitely a valid source of data
