modern skyline
City's glass horizon
A modern skyline refers to the distinctive silhouette of a city's buildings and structures as viewed against the sky, particularly one characterized by contemporary high-rise towers, skyscrapers, and architectural landmarks.
The phrase emphasizes recent construction and urban development rather than historical architecture.
Cities often promote their modern skylines as symbols of economic vitality and progress.
The modern skyline of Dubai features some of the world's tallest buildings.
