Well, You could argue whatever you want but actually Saint John has a strong urban mind for his size. The skylines and pedway system are both great examples as well. Downtown Moncton is characterized by one stretch road surrounding by parking lot, this is not something i could describe urban. Moreover there are a plenty of single-stories buildings through Main street. Even the new projets looks like suburbans, the new Sobeys as well as courthouse project are both huge example of that. Anybody talked about the fact the Moncton city tries to get real some downtown projects since the last 7 years and nothing happen yet...

I am agree with you, Saint John has huge problems but on urban feeling issue, Saint John win by far.

sorry english is not my mother tongue
