I wouldn't say the scale is small in Calgary... or Edmonton even. Edmonton has lots of "town centre" plans in the works with large beautiful towers around their LRT stations. I didn't even mention half of Calgary's TODs in my last post. It's nowhere near Vancouver... but what city on the continent is close to Vancouver with transit oriented developments? I'd say Calgary is in the top 10 in North America at least. Does anyone know anything about how widespread TODs are in the states? I haven't heard much.
