That clearly does not work with the numbers above, which even what you throw in the Vancouver suburbs look exceedingly low.

It's certainly doesn't feel anywhere near as large or substantial as a place like Pittsburgh or St. Louis. If you include basically all of northern Utah you get up to 2.6 million, but that seems like quite a stretch to claim that all as SLC. I mean, hell, the entire state of Utah is only 3.2 million!

SLC feels more like a city of 1.3 million. For a city that size, it has a pretty good skyline already and really good public transit (for a US city). It's definitely smaller than Denver and definitely bigger than Boise.

I agree with you on most matters regarding development Atlas but I think you're way overthinking it on this. Would you tell the very proud forum members in Boise that they can't include Meridian or members in Las Vegas can't include Henderson in their metro population because those areas wouldn't feel what you consider to be the same vibe as the more liberal downtown Boise. Henderson is in another Universe from the vibe of the Strip and should be left out of the greater Las Vegas metro? Please, if that were the case I would have to dismiss a majority of metro Los Angeles. Do you have any idea how many distinct districts there are in L.A.? Many are within a mile of each other and carry a much more distinct vibe than anything in the greater Salt Lake Wasatch Front. By what you seem to be describing as your definition of distinct vibes determining a greater metros size, the Wasatch Front is far more homogenous than many MSA/CSA's, especially L.A.

Traveling from south to north it most definitely feels like an interconnected greater metro of around 2.7 million, especially these past five years. And yes, other than the St. George area the Wasatch Front is where almost the entire population of Utah resides. The rest is rural, smaller towns and either federal lands, State and National Parks, National Forests, or National Recreational Areas and Monuments. It sounds to me like you have been the occasional tourist traveling from the airport to the metro ski resorts on the metro's eastern fringe. Your comment that the entire State is only 3.2 million people so SLC can't be that big gives you away. If current growth rates continue the greater Salt Lake Wasatch Front Metro will be 3-plus million people by the end of this decade, and then it is on to 4 and 5 million. The only other greater metro area in Utah that will be of considerable size 20 years from now would be St. George. That area owes its hyper-growth to nearby Las Vegas, its milder climate, and spectacular outdoor lifestyle and scenery.

Let's see if they become a single MSA. Until then, it's unfair to use SLC's CSA numbers vs MSA numbers for other metros.

And I guess I could see SLC feeling like a 3 million person metro if you compare it to a place like the Riverside MSA. There's very little urbanity in SLC...a nice but small downtown. Some quasi urban/suburban neighborhoods around it, and then the rest is mostly straight up suburban. Provo hasn't been included in the SLC MSA because it's independent from SLC, has its own economy, and doesn't meet the commuting thresholds to be a unified MSA. I have no doubt this will occur in the future, but I think it will be quite a while before SLC feels anywhere remotely like a 3 million person metro.

Population growth is certainly a good clue! But it's not definitive, and volumes can vary tremendously within that metric.

Some of that is filling in past overbuilding. There might be very little construction until things tighten a bit.

Then you get a lag effect. If offices are 20% vacant, construction volumes might not really gain steam until it's 15% or 10%.

Cities also invest at very different levels. Some electorates enthusiastically support big infrastructure programs and others are more reticent.

Another factor is that a large percentage of all work is renovations and buildouts, not new construction. For example in richer areas, housing tends to be renovated more often, partially because the housing value will tend to rise more than the renovation cost.

Actually, SLC was previously single metro with Provo and Orem. Revisions in the 90s to the method (when CSAs were first created) broke this MSA apart as well as Greensboro’s and Raleigh’s and a few others. This is a case where it isn’t as clear cut as it first looks and if someone wants to bring in the additional data points, I think as long as they do so in a way that admits they’re comparing apples to oranges somewhat it’s fair.

My own opinion:

I don’t think SLC qualifies for this discussion currently. However, I do think SLC is putting the right policies with zoning and the region and state are putting together the right policies with transportation for eventual re-consolidation of the metro area into a single entity. The county commuter data and underlying core urban area may be only a few years off from the region qualifying again as a single MSA. Furthermore, those positive transportation network policies are poised to allow SLC to benefit from a larger region drawing progressively more commuting workers. 10-15 years from now, SLC downtown may be littered with 500-800 foot construction sites.

New York City - 299
Toronto - 243
Houston - 81
Miami - 38
Chicago - 34
Panama City, Panama - 27
Detroit - 26
Los Angeles - 25
Atlanta - 21
Seattle - 17 (22 per mhays)
Philadelphia - 17
Jersey City - 16
Boston - 12
Dallas - 12
Bellevue - 11

Per the atlanta projects construction compilation thread, which smArTaLlone does a great job of maintaining, it looks like the count (above 12 stories) in city proper is 36. 18 midtown, 12 downtown and beltline east, 6 buckhead. downtown has three buildings near or over 30 floors now under construction (40, 32, 29) and a handful of others over 20 - the first time in who knows how long where there is more activity downtown than in buckhead. hmm, maybe i'll go take the drone for a spin tonight

I'm surprised to see Montreal CMA ahead of Vancouver CMA. Calgary CMA and Edmonton CMA are in a slump due to the steep decline of the Alberta oil industry.

Toronto CMA: 300
Montreal CMA: 66
Vancouver CMA: 42
Ottawa CMA: 19
Calgary CMA: 17
Kitchener-Waterloo CMA: 14

edale, Did you even look at the government list? I did not use MSA numbers for other areas with the exception of Providence, which was hidden in a long list of Boston MSA's, and I corrected that. Indeed, Providence is officially considered part of the Boston CSA, which I did not previously realize. Apparently, by official standards, Richmond Va. is its own MSA island without adjoining MSA's and is not listed as a CSA. All 175 CSA areas and their ranking by population as of 2020 are officially designated as such by the U.S. Census Bureau and U.S. Office of Budget and Management.

Again, here is the official list if you missed it the first time. If you think the official list is somehow unfair then take it up with the government.

FWIW, I think Emporis's database is out-of-date for Waterloo Region. In Kitchener alone I count 18 towers under construction according to waterlooregionconnected.com.
