By contrast, downtown Vancouver has a population of about 55K (2011) and a density of about 11,500/ sq km.

How do yo figure the Shangri-la wasn't included? It would be based on that map. But, regardless, if you include the West End, then the total population is about 100K. However, by that logic, Toronto should include West Queen West and Trinity Bellwoods because those neighbourhoods are as equally walkable to downtown Toronto as the West End is to downtown Vancouver. The entire peninsula should not be considered downtown, but I know that's how a lot of people see it because it's easily definable and contains the largest cluster of highrises in the city.

The reason that the size of the boundaries differ in my previous post is simply because downtown Toronto is larger.
