Currently St. Albert is the next closest, but it is growing quite slow by comparison to the next largest, Airdrie. I'd probably put my money on Airdrie, even though St. Albert is a superior city and suburb in every single way.

Yeah, St. Albert is like Cochrane and Chestermere wrapped up into a larger package.
But Airdrie has insane growth and I won't be surprised when it overtakes St. Albert. Technically not a city, but there is also Sherwood Park (65,000) which is growing faster than St. Albert and could reach 100,000 next.
But outside of the city limits, most of Edmonton's suburban growth appears to be taking hold in the smaller suburbs right now, like Spruce Grove and Leduc, not the larger ones like St. Albert and Sherwood Park.
