^ really nice Victoria. Those buildings look so well preserved and clean

Nice to see my favorite BC city on here. Not enough Victoria!

I'm really starting to see Rene-Levesque boul. as under-rated. In this photo, it's got a nice mix of skyscrapers from the 30's, 40's, 50's,60's,70's 80's,90's, 00's and 10's.

Add the 5 120m towers u/c or planned on the right hand side, and it'll be quite a photo.

Victoria is one of my top 5 favourite skylines. It's small and compact, not too high and uses its location on a slope well. The buildings are nice, and are of a good mix of styles and age.

Yeah I guess the Lucien L'Allier tower might be visible from that angle...

This image for me, clearly illustrates the vertical suburb, that the change in city planning has brought to fruition!!

You can almost see the lines of different suburbs down there.... City PLace (west of Sky dome) , South Core, and the Ent. Dist. !!

When you add in Midtown, with Aura ,the Met, Burano, Murano, and ROCP, and even RCMI, and Pace,

and then the Yonge&Bloor cluster ..

Maybe even Dowt town East with L, London on the... 88 Scott, Berczy, Spire, Clear Spirit etc....

plus the more outlying ones like Humber Bay, Egglington, and NYCC, its all simply amazing!!!
What an amazing amount growth, that went vertical and not into outlying regions.

Proud of Toronto~~ It seems such a more sustainable approach to new city building. A revival of inner city tax coffers as well.

Its just weird to think of these 9 nodes as what under old growth would have been sprawling suburbs....
It makes me wonder, translated into 2 story townhomes, how much space did this save??? How many farms, and fields would be distant rows of home??

I prefer to think a vertical urbanity, is the correct model.

Living in the US, so little development is concerned or encouraged to be sustainable and reduce resource usage.

Bravo Toronto Canada.... Would love to see these 9 tracks of land each as they appeared 15 years ago... and to then compare it to the NEW city that's landed on TOP of that!!
