Milwaukee’s skyline is being recognized for its beauty and architectural significance. Recently, the city was named one of the most beautiful skylines in the world by Architectural Digest, a title that may come as a surprise to some. Despite being known for its minor-league skyline compared to other cities of similar size and age, Milwaukee is now considered a member of the big leagues when it comes to its skyline.
According to the article, some of the major U.S. cities on the list include New York City, Chicago, and Seattle. Additionally, international cities like Hong Kong, Dubai, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Toronto also made the cut. However, historian John Gurda notes that Milwaukee has always had a minor-league skyline compared to other cities of similar size and age.
Despite this criticism from Gurda in his book “The Making of Milwaukee,” the city’s proximity to Lake Michigan and landmark buildings designed by Santiago Calatrava contribute to its skyline’s beauty. The article highlights some newer additions to Milwaukee’s skyline like the Northwestern Mutual Tower that were not included in Architectural Digest’s outdated photos taken in 2014. However, despite these criticisms about old photos, Milwaukee’s recognition as having a beautiful skyline is growing more and more with each passing year.
In conclusion, Milwaukee has finally earned recognition for its stunning architecture on an international stage. While it may have been overlooked in the past due to its minor-league status compared to other cities of similar size and age, its unique features such as its proximity to Lake Michigan and landmark buildings contribute significantly to its beauty today.
The article emphasizes that while Milwaukee was once known for having a minor-league skyline compared to other cities of similar size and age, it is now considered a member of the big leagues when it comes to architecture.
As we look towards the future of Milwaukee’s skyline development plans continue with new additions like Northwestern Mutual Tower which has added even more beauty to this already picturesque location on Lake Michigan.
Overall this is good news for residents of Milwaukee who can finally appreciate their city through fresh eyes with new drone footage showcasing all that their city has to offer in terms of architecture.
