Edmonton has really impressed me with its skyline growth. Toronto / Vancouver / Montreal / Calgary are widely appreciated. Looks like Edmonton will be joining that tier.

Coldrsx · #**8164** Posted **Jul 17, 2018, 8:25 PM**

We really need the next cycle of projects to filling some gaps.

(Nevermind…..still, the section right near the river is a tad odd)

One of the best walks in the city. If you visit I highly recommend it.

Agree. Canada only has 4 significant skyline cities. Edmonton will make it 5.

Inspiration for the Quarters.

I definitely have a new found respect for Winnipeg's downtown. I didn't know that the city has one of the largest historic districts in North America. I love a skyline full of tall but Winnipeg should pride itself in having something a bit different. I'm hoping these buildings are well preserved and protected. Oops.. I broke your quote..Wpg_Guy

The Riverwalk has won a couple urban design awards and been a finalist in at least one other, it's a very beautiful public space and trail system.

Another from last night!

Telus Sky is so nice from some angles.

It does look quite lovely, as long as proper maintenance is given of course.

Which it will of course

Oh cool, just realized my shot up there displays all 7 of Calgary's 650+ footers! That's sweet!

Also, here is another similar image of mine, showing more detail. With a view from the Bow River steps in the opposite direction. The "overgrowth" is purely intentional.
