I don't think it's a given that Calgary is destined to be Alberta's prime metropolis. The growth of either city will largely hinge on the economic growth. I believe conditions are right in Edmonton to potentially enter a break neck pace of growth, especially if they can attract more corporate offices and headquarters to the city with more commercial developments.
