BC's parliament building is actually not on the Trans-Canada highway (Douglas St.), but is one block west on Government St. These two streets do merge further to the north though.

Thunder Bay's height restriction is 45m. :P


Are you serious?

[vid]

That's the highest, and only applies to RM3 zones, the highest density we have, although if you asked for an exception for any zone you'd probably get it from city council as long as residents don't bitch too much. The city itself has a general 10m/4 storeys limit meaning anything taller than that requires an official plan amendment for the site, which adds bureaucracy but is almost always approved. A 20 storey building was proposed a few years ago and while council was initially OK with it, local residents opposed it so much that they changed their mind and now we're got a bunch of four storey condos.

The only place where you'd really have trouble getting past it is downtown Port Arthur, where there are height limits based on sea level to keep it at a human scale and in much of Fort William, where any tall buildings are in a flight path. (A 25 storey building where my apartment is would be clipped by planes.) Our airport is too close to the city, and boxed in.

It's bizarre that Iqluit's "skyline" has been shown but not the largest CMA under 500k.................London. London has more skyscrapers than any of the other cities. If only I had some internet skills.....................

[flar]

The problem with London's skyline is there are not many good vantage points for photos. I've always wanted to get a shot from Wharncliffe and Commissioners. It's also very spread out.

The Loops is a strange little place that you don't really spend any time in unless you know someone who lives there. I've been to The Loops several times throughout my life, but if I had to equate all the time I've spent there, it would only add up to about 22 - 24 hours total.

[Calgarian]

I've driven by and through Kamloops, but I usually spend time in BC in Kelowna.

I wouldn't mind living in Kamloops, a well proportioned city for it's size and has nice weather to boot. I might be able to make a nice little profit from selling my Edmonton home for one in Kamloops as well.

I only drove through...both times on a bus to and from Vancouver, but it struck me as a cool little city.... so isolated. I guess we don't have any forumers from there.

[bulliver]

^ I was born in Kamloops, and lived there for my first 7 years. It is a nice place, with decent weather. Development follows the two rivers though, so it tends to be a bit sprawly, as far as big box stores and single-family homes. The downtown is pretty nice, with a couple of beaches on the river. Victoria Street is a nice little downtown shopping/main street. Could use some higher density residential downtown I think though...

Wow, so T-Bay's height limit is slightly higher than Victoria's (Victoria's is 43.5m while T-Bay's is 45m) even though T-Bay has one high-rise whereas Victoria has dozens. Wild.

You also provided the only sound reason i've ever seen for a height limit because I don't think anyone wants to see a repeat of 9/11 even if it's an accident.

We have three highrises, and we're very spread out and not a centre of government nor an attractive place to live. And the 45m limit is only for one type of zone, the city as a whole is pretty much limited to 10m/4 storeys but that is frequently exempted.

[someone123]

That’s what I said. Emporis appears to use the generous U.S. Bureau of the Census definition for Portland’s metro, which includes York County near the NH border, Lewiston-Auburn (actually pretty much a separate city or metro) and Androscoggin County. It is 110 miles from the NH border where York County starts to the northern tip of Androscoggin County. And that’s supposed to be “Metro Portland, Maine”.

I was curious about how big Portland actually is so I had a look at it in Google Earth. Here are the composite aerial photos of Portland, Saint John, and Halifax, all at the same scale:

http://img686.imageshack.us/img686/8797/cities.th.png (http://img686.imageshack.us/i/cities.png/)

It's possible that I'm missing parts of Portland or Saint John but everything outside of those regions looks like farmland, woods, and small towns. Portland and Saint John look fairly similar in size. Definitely Portland doesn't have a built up area like Winnipeg, Quebec City, or Hamilton.

I'm also not convinced that cities in the Maritimes are any less spread out than cities in New England - the development patterns seem pretty similar.

[Nouvellecosse]

I'm not sure about Portland, but the aerials of Hfx and Saint John are about 75% forest with the majority of the developemt crammed into the tight, well defined urban areas near the bottom for Saint John and bottom right for Hfx. The urban area of Portland seems less defined but covering a geater area. The Halifax aerial does has contain scattered developments outside the urban area of course, but I'm not sure the presence of environs like Sackville and Bedford really have much to do with Hfx's development pattern since they're not really Halifax developments - they currently function as suburbs due to their proximity, but they were originally seperate communities. Although it's tough to tell from the images, the aerial of Potland gives the impression of low-density development radiating from the core and functioning as a large, lower-density entity.

Richmond's typical high-rise condo is only 50 metres and this still happens:

Very true. It's a different type of sprawl out there from what you find in Ontario or Alberta, where the sprawl is more plentiful, but organized and methodical by comparison. I just got back from St. John's and witnessed the haphazard developments of Paradise and Conception Bay South. Nice city, but a serious lack of regional planning due to the lack of upper-tier municipalities.

[Cambridgite]

Speaking of St. John's, here are some nighttime shots I got of the city from Signal Hill, using my new tripod.

Here's a panorama I took of Halifax during the holidays. This is only part of it and still has some issues to be corrected but I figured I'd post it anyway:

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4040/4246250218_cec1eb3be0_o.png

It's interesting to follow the construction activity in these photos. On the left you can see seawall developments coming along, then a power plant being renovated for offices. Behind that is some demolition for a condo development. A bit farther over is the crane for the Trillium (which they will be raising eventually - the final building will be something like 19 storeys). There's also some work going on for an office building downtown but it's occluded from this angle by the (not so attractive) law courts. Interestingly enough, you can also see some new buildings going up on Gottingen Street from this angle. At the far right are some recently completed condos on Barrington Street.

There are also lots of landmarks visible from this angle, like the Nova Scotian Hotel, Government House, the Town Clock, Citadel Hill, old post office, Dominion Building with a new copper dome..

Lack of planning is an understatement. Development in the St. John's metro is out of control. Sometimes I think the councils plan by throwing arrows at a map.

It could have something to do with the DLS. Not so much Ontario, but Alberta is divided into square sections of land making it much easier for a developer to purchase a large section of land on the edge of a city and tie into the arterial grid. Further, the ROW exists in 1x1 mile grids surrounding the cities for road development.

[MolsonExport]

Downtown Longueuil is still one of the fugliest satellite downtowns anywhere. Maybe it is just harsh memories from one of my ex's, who lived in St. Hubert (the city, not the chicken joint), which required me to spend eons at that fucking bus terminal outside Longueuil metro....ahhhhheeee, my eyes!!! the skyline could stop a clock on account of it's ugliness.

There are also fewer land constraints in both Ontario and Alberta. It's easy when you have farmland as far as the eye can see...not so much when you're sitting on a giant rock with a bunch of Boreal forest.

You can't drive onto the top of the parkade. I'm not entirely sure why. It was designed so that they could add more levels onto it, so you would think every level including the roof would have parking.

It is Fort William's skyline inasmuch as North York's skyline is North York's skyline. Although unlike Toronto, Thunder Bay's urban areas are still pretty separate.

I don't think so, mind you I also think Niagara Falls blows them both away. NF now has seven buildings and towers over 300 feet tall. I think your local boosterism has really distorted your opinion. Halifax has a decent skyline for a city it's size but NF wins this hands down.

wow, never would have imagined that Prince Albert would have a skyline. But it most certainly does. Very interesting.

I concur. When I saw that pic of Prince Albert, I was like, "Prince Albert?!?!?! WTF?!?!?! You mean that little town in Saskatchewan has that skyline?!?!?!" Holy shit. I guess Brandon, Yellowknife and Moose Jaw aren't the only small Canadian towns with skylines.

I don't think so, mind you I also think Niagara Falls blows them both away. NF now has seven buildings and towers over 300 feet tall. I think your local boosterism has really distorted your opinion. Halifax has a decent skyline for a city it's size but NF wins this hands down.



I concur. When I saw that pic of Prince Albert, I was like, "Prince Albert?!?!?! WTF?!?!?! You mean that little town in Saskatchewan has that skyline?!?!?!" Holy shit. I guess Brandon, Yellowknife and Moose Jaw aren't the only small Canadian towns with skylines.

It's not Prince Albert. It's Saskatoon.

I think Halifax has a way better skyline than London and Niagara Falls, but that's just me.

[Distill3d]

I have to say that Saskatoon and Regina impress me the most for smaller cities in Canada!

Loooove the ignorance. :)

Got it? :tup:

The first pic Ruckus posted was of Prince Albert, at least that's how I and probably every one else read it?

[le calmar]

I thought Prince Albert was in BC?

[harls]

^ you are thinking Prince George or Prince Rupert, probably.

[Yume-sama]

Wow, so I actually looked through every page. Some nice looking places I never knew existed!

[sparky212]

well londons might get a new tower with 150-200 hotel suits with 200+ condos on top. its gonna be one big tower

[koops65]

There is a great deal of difference between the tallest skyline, and the betterskyline. I tend to like the taller ones, but it's clear that not eveybody does.

I prefer Halifax's skyline to that of London's, given the greater density and spectacular setting.

[David1gray]

[-Harlington-]

[Dmajackson]

Those Halifax shots are money. MONEY!

If you were actually talking about mine I have started some of mine up for sale on a couple of photostock websites.

I'm hoping to make a few bucks to delay the unavoidable job search in coming months ... :haha:

-Harlington-, where did those photos come from and who took them?

Until we see a photo like this:

From either Niagara Falls or London, I'm going to have to conclude that Halifax has the best skyline of the three.

[Nouvellecosse]

It's a beautiful picture in the way it shows the natural setting including the harbour, waterfront, etc, but I honestly can't see how it makes the downtown look in any way impressive. Half the downtown buildings are either partially or totally hidden, and on the ground can be seen an ugly parking lot and pedways connecting indoor shopping centres. The picture makes the downtown look unusually spare and empty to me.
