Burlington has a lot going on in terms of proposals right now - it’ll be very different in 5 years.

Where is this Humber tower node? The Humber's I find on Google Earth don't have much in the way of towers.

How many suburban skylines does Toronto have? Seems like Toronto has almost as many as Vancouver.

Vancouver is famous for them, but we should remember that the gta is much bigger than metro Vancouver.

It's where the Humber River and Mimico Creek meets Lake Ontario.

Here is Burlington

https://earth.google.com/web/@43.320...4.36194054t,0r

keep in mind that the Google Earth Model is almost 2 years old for some parts of the GTA

Throughout the GTA I would say there are around 15 highrise nodes

We rarely, if ever see Surrey's Central City skyline. Nice find. That must be taken from Coquitlam, I imagine?

The main secondary nodes in the 416:

Yonge & Eglinton
Yonge & St. Clair
North York Centre
Scarborough Town Centre
Etobicoke Centre
Humber Bay


And the various 905 city centres:

Mississauga City Centre
Port Credit
Brampton
Bramalea
Oakville
Burlington
Bronte
Vaughan Metropolitan Centre
Markham
Richmond Hill
Oshawa


Many of these are still quite small and only have a handful of high-rises; but on the other hand I'm not including the dozens of clusters of residential high-rises and TODs throughout the city.

There's probably a 1000 35 to 80 metre highrises in suburban Toronto forming dispersed clusters from Etobicoke to Scarborough.
