Unlike little Vancouver with all of its overpowering building size restrictions and overall imposed infrastructure limitations, Singapore is allowed to build big and tall even right by the water.

Miami is also able to build up big and tall right next to the water, simply because its not under Vancouver type restrictions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Downtown_Miami

Of course one would expect Sydney, Melbourne and Perth to excel in a scale far beyond Vancouver. However, Brisbane also shows what is possible without Vancouver type building size restrictions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brisbane#Urban_structure

In traditional Vancouver fashion, the city hasn't made it onto this list.
