New York Skyscrapers

I have just got back from a visit to New York. It is an amazing city and something which really stood out for me is how tall the city is! It is well known for it's high rise buildings. The view from Governors Island is very impressive. It shows the true extent of how many skyscrapers there are in New York.


Many of the skyscrapers have very different designs making the city eclectic and exciting to explore.



What New York has been able to achieve is starting to have an effect on the areas around. As you look across Manhatten to New Jersey you can see that a number of skyscrapers are starting to appear there too. Skyscrapers make the most of the space in the city. However, one downside I noticed was that in areas of dense high rise buildings, the streets were cast into permanent shadow.
