It also reveals the rather utilitarian nature of most of the foreground development (but you can say that about any city) and how much work is still required to make the streets an interesting pedestrian realm. Having spent a ton of time in Edmonton for work I’ve always found the pedestrian experience was really lacking - for a bunch of reasons, although improvements have been made. Less than ideal weather from October through April explains a lot.

Although really, it's only natural that the cityscape would look bleak after the tremendous destruction seen in the previous pictures.
