So no, Richmond is still less urban than Lonsdale for now. But it probably not for long - it's inevitable.

Neither of the areas you mentioned in Richmond are the downtown part. Although I wouldn't say the towers going up near Capstan Station are horrendous at all. But I digress, 3 Road and Westminster is the focal point. 4 corners with 1 tower on each (3 of them office towers so it has some economic muscle). That is where the downtown starts and moves outward. Londsdale doesn't even come close
