It's "the city" for all of us born on that continent. And I mean, sure, you could say that it's just one type of thing, that there are many representative district-styles, that this form enjoys undue prominence because of the media and culture organs of New York City...

It’s kinda crazy that we Montrealers need to see shots like these to remind us of the sheer urbanity of our own city.
I live in an area with similar built and it just always seems like a given that we have this density, when it’s quite rare in north american cities.
