| Look up. Sydneysiders should have a serious case of tower envy.
According to figures from the developer lobby group the Urban Taskforce, Melbourne has 22 towers with a height of more than 200 metres in the pipeline while Sydney has eight.
And the head of the taskforce, former NSW government architect Chris Johnson, says the approval of three residential skyscrapers for central Melbourne is a sign of just how different the cities are becoming.
"By 2030 Sydney's skyline will become more uniform, like a crewcut, with all buildings controlled by the 235-metre height limit," he said.
"Melbourne will be more dynamic with peaks and troughs. The skyline will have very high buildings above 100 storeys and then dip down in heritage areas."
