I live in Calgary and the boom and bust of the 80's gave us our wonderful and vast areas of pavement that we finally are starting to make a real dent in!
But I remember Vancouver and Toronto before their respective booms. Parking lots abounding.
It almost seems like parking lot havens are a precursor to building booms. The only question is how long you have the acres and acres of pavement. In Calgary it was just way tooooo long.
Can't find the all out skyline pics they had in a huge pdf, but here are glimpses of parts of Ottawa future skyline that will connect Ottawa and Gatineau.
Every tall building on the "green" is new.
Glimpse of a new skyline in the background:
Stone building, centre, is a now abandoned historic industrial building to be restored converted to a hotel.
Something is wrong with my flickr account, giving this a try with another site...
Downtown Toronto with the Mirvish & Gehry towers added.
It seems you need to click on the image to see it full size... I'll try again.
Nice render!

The "T Shape" of the downtown Toronto skyline is unique as it spreads east west across the lake and north up Yonge Street, Bay Street, Church Street, Jarvis and University. Its huge and the next render picture might have to be taken from space so you have enough room to get all the proposals into one shot. Yes, Oxford is missing and we know it will be a huge multi-tower project and even bigger and taller than Mirvish-Gehry but the Cityplace Signature project and 45 Bay will also be huge as well and are not pictured. Can you imagine?

TRiToNDREyJA, Those Winnipeg renders are fantastic. Some of the new architecture there is edgy and unique, that new skyscraper will add real cache to the skyline.
