We will all be dead before those distinct commercial centres are even close to "one large high-density" conurbation.
Brentwood to Metrotown, and Metrowtown to Edmonds are both 4 km. The entire stretch is single family homes and parks (along Willingdon) or strip malls and auto shops (along Kingsway). The existing plan to densify Metrotown has an 80-year timeline, and that plan has a hard border at Royal Oak. When I bike from Metrotown to New West, River District, or Burnaby Mountain, it is clear that Burnaby has centuries before the city will have anything more than isolated pockets of high population density.
