Panethos<p><strong>American city skylines dominated by a single tower</strong></p><p>Listed below are cities across the United States whose skyline is dominated by a single skyscraper that is head and shoulders above its neighbors in the central business district. Even cities with a number of skyscrapers like Oklahoma City and Albany, NY can have one tower that is significantly taller than all the others. Furthermore, if the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legends_Tower" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">1,907 foot tall Legends Tower</a> ends up being built as proposed in Oklahoma City, it will be 2.26 times taller that the current tallest building in the city, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devon_Energy_Center" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Devon Energy Center</a> which stands at 844 feet. </p> Proposed Legends Tower in Oklahoma City with the Devon Energy Center to its left – Source: ops.org <p>More than a third of the cities represented (5 of 14) are from the Great Plains – a region more often associated with sprawl than towering skyscrapers. If any other examples of cities in the USA with a dominating were overlooked, please feel free to pass them along.
