I think the easy answer is the scarce hinterlands and rural areas to draw into their CMA numbers..There is lot of barren nothingness once you leave Canadian cities, so basically what you see is what you get in a nutshell..

Thoughts?
Well the notion of barren nothingness when you leave a city is kinda absurd, particularly the big 3:

Toronto area:
hard to love Mississauga but 800,000 locals and hundreds of millions/billions of planned and u/c hi-rise growth. Thankfully the Absolut twins will temper future mistakes. Missie has 1.5 billion dollar project in the works.

Vaughn, Markham, Brampton - too much to count


Vancouver: Burnaby, Surrey etc. growing like weeds


Montreal: to lazy to document

I know this is a skyscraper thread but:

Calgary: heft and tall but a very small footprint of tall built form compared to Phillie, Boston etc.

Edmonton: glad you have a tall, call when u have another

Halifax: don't join the tall game, just keeping improving ur mid-rise aesthetic
