The Peg is a lot more impressive than most people give it credit for.

If for a moment we set aside dreams of "mile high scrapers" across the globe and celebrate built form in the frozen north... this must be be one of the best "clusters" in the world, no?

Don't have to agree, but what a pic. Happy holidays.

I love how the big towers at the back, 1 Bloor and Aura, are perfectly lined up with the CBD cluster... new desktop background!

I think a lot more people find the Peg impressive than some people give them credit for.

Winnipeg is a visually impressive city for 800,000 and a completely flat landscape. It relies fully on its buildings, old and new, and the dense urbanity of its core.

I agree with this also. While Winnipeg's skyscrapers do not attain an imposing height, the way the skyline emerges over the prairie horizon as you drive towards it from any direction is striking. There are some lovely older neighbourhoods and also some striking examples of architecture, eg the Museum of Human Rights.

It doesn't strictly fall within the scope of the thread, but I have always been amazed by the abundance of cultural events and resources for a city of its size. Perhaps it is because it is the only relatively large city in a great distance. This Toronto/Vancouver guy likes the 'Peg. And yes, I've been there in the winter, many times.

You can see work on the funicular at the base of the Telus Tower.

Love Hamilton's city hall.. theres something to be said about that aesthetic that is quite pleasing and ahead of its time. Really think Hamilton is starting to turn a corner so to speak.. Really hope the Hamilton Hammer gets built. Anyone know the status on that project.. I think the city needs a new iconic tower.. the current one is way dated.
