Interesting cgy shot from the Bow, the city has much more midrise density than can be seen from the typical skyline shots. A lot more midrises to the west of that pic.

Mtl's huge! I love the built form there. Might need to go back this summer. Maybe a TO/Mtl trip.

Who cares about skyline gaps when you have such good bones ? That picture is fantastic.

That's not good bones. That's more what I'd call a hulking mass of meat!

I thought DC and Toronto were quite well known for their high-rise suburbs...

(I guess you must have missed the legendarily stupid "strange non-urbanity of NYC Suburbs" thread in City Discussions

I wasn't talking about TO, which obviously has Mississauga. Didn't know about DC. Is it in Arlington? Because I don't consider Baltimore as a suburb.

Some NYC suburbs have plenty of urbanity, especially in Jersey. Just look at Newark, Elizabeth, Jersey City...

Chadillaccc · #**5673** Posted **Apr 29, 2015, 3:42 AM**

Detroit and Boston each both have at least one suburb with dozens of highrises. Washington has a good 6 suburbs each with dozens of high rises, while Toronto has 7 (not including the dozen or so highrise nodes in the city itself)
