Toronto's Highrise skyline is forceablely being stretched North and West. Those two shots give visual demonstration of this.

London looks like a mini-Cleveland or Cincinnati.

I can't believe how dense London, ON looks! Any good neighbourhoods in L-town, which part of London would you recommend as walkable for a visitor from outside?

^ One of the most remarkable things about WEM is how little surface parking there is around it even though it's in the suburbs. I've seen neighbourhood malls in the US with more surface area devoted to parking than WEM.

Even when you factor in the parking decks it's still a relatively modest amount. Good for Edmonton for not plopping WEM into a massive 300 hectare site or some such.
