I've not been to Hong Kong, but Manhattan has enough fabulous architecture to compensate for the pedestrian, mediocre, and/or ugly. Toronto's heading in the right direction, but currently we don't have enough of the great to distract us from the rest. Judging by the current slate of proposals, the core will get to a point where we have a better balance and the Bremners and Maple Leaf Squares of the downtown will start fading into the background.
Mirvish-Ghery, Massey, One Bloor, and 45 Bay can't happen soon enough. The core will need another 20-30 buildings of that calibre to get to a good ratio.
