This shows how urban planning is such a sham.

That's the Pembina Highway, it's the main north-south route in and out of Winnipeg. The university is very close to that shot (the tall, wide building in the centre of the frame is the university campus).

Most of the residents in those buildings are probably students.

Actually, the bldg. just left of center is the Holiday Inn south. The U. of M. campus is about a mile further south of where this pic is taken from.

I thought that was the new Pembina Hall Residence but now that you mention it, the rest of the buildings are missing.

vid, regarding pembina, its more like the main south->downtown route.

The main north-south (as in context of goes from south of city to north of city) route would be potentially Saint-Annes/Main St and/or Saint-Mary's/Main St through downtown or Lagimodiere Boulevard on the east and route 90 on the west (Kenaston to Century/King Edward to oak pt hwy to brook side boulevard which will also be extended to the perimeter hwy soon)


And yeah U of M is still a ways further south lol

such is the life of a prairie city. The other largest prairie cities in Alberta and Saskatchewan are similar with respect to "sprawlage"

Not the greatest quality but unusual angle of the skyline (merci Kaffloc):

It never ceases to amaze me just how much Regina looks a like a tiny Calgary, and Saskatoon looks like a tiny Edmonton.

Nice observation, and dare I say, Halifax is like a tiny Vancouver. . ?

[Nouvellecosse]

Other than that they both have large harbours crossed by bridges, I fail to see the resemblance.

[isaidso]

There are a few more similarities: the core is a peninsula surrounded by ocean in both cities and each has the tip protected as a large coniferous forest. The similarities stop there. Halifax is a much older city with more history.

Regina feels much more like Winnipeg from the ground. Saskatoon I would say feels more like Ottawa. They do have unmistakably prairie skylines though.
