Canadian cities do have a lot of such areas, though -- particularly the Greater Toronto-Hamilton area (thousands of suburban mid and hi-rise towers blocks!) Ottawa, London ON, Kitchener-Waterloo, Greater Vancouver, Halifax, Winnipeg and even cities such as Kingston, Belleville, Sudbury and many other small Ontario cities in the 40-200,000 thousand range will have an area or two where you'll find bunches of hi-rise apartment towers clustered along major suburban arterial roads or beside shopping malls.

Yeah, I’m confused: are modern tower block developments “European” though? Because that’s not very European to me, even though they’re a feature of Europe, Asia, etc in the modern age.
America of course has plenty of outer suburban areas with walkable main streets. That’s more “European” to me than tower blocks, though
