Even with the Broadway Plan now in effect?
Development in downtown Vancouver has slowed considerably, compared to the 90' and 00's because there are not many sites left to develop on.
The Broadway Corridor is basically a 6 sq km blank slate, with every residential property eligible for development into higher density, with the most of the area eligible for high density tower forms. So I would suggest that with such a huge area to work with, Vancouver will outpace Toronto in downtown development in the next few decades, as Toronto will start to hit some roadblocks with finding sites that can be developed. Hence my conclusion that the 2 downtowns will be hard to distinguish in 20 years time. Both will be huge blobs of green towers.
