Municipal boundaries are meaningless in this comparison
Calgary has no suburbs, the municipality is the same as the urban area and the metro (80-90% of the land area is nonetheless suburban)
As discussed above Salt Lake City urban area has a similar shape , density , and population , split amongst 20 independent municipal governments
If anything to me Calgary looks like Salt Lake City if they plopped a shorter version of downtown Houston into the middle of it, instead of a bunch of Mormon temples and state capital buildings
