I think there's been a bigger shift in quality and scale too. Downtown Dartmouth felt stuck in low gear for a long time, and only had a handful of substantial buildings. It would be like if there were a new top 10 list of towers being built in Halifax or something.
Another observation is that there are not a lot of non-major (multi-million sized) North American cities with a Dartmouth-like area outside of downtown. The Halifax area is getting a really good mix of neighbourhoods and is losing its "compact" feel (it used to be common for people to say Halifax is like a small town where you can wander around the nice parts easily on foot in a short period of time). But it will become more important to provide good transportation connections between these more extensive areas.
