What do you mean? The urbanity of Calgary isn't no different than other 90% post-war urban areas?
I don't understand what urbanity means if it has nothing to do walkability, and transit usage has nothing to do with people's ability to walk to and from transit stops. Would Calgary's downtown be no different if everyone drove and parked downtown instead of taking transit? Washington DC is one of the leaders in transit as well. Does transit really have nothing to do the development of Tyson's Corner and the future redevelopment of the parking lots there?
I don't understand why there's so much efforts to separate urbanity and high density and transit and walkability all from each other. Maybe the links between is just all in my head and not real. It just makes me realize I don't belong in this thread. Sorry for wasting everyone's time with all my stupid posts and ideas, I won't bother you guys with them again.
