Inner city encompasses much more than downtown and adjacent neighborhoods. Parkdale and Riverdale for instance are clearly inner neighborhoods but they certainly aren't downtown.
It's true that there's a smooth rather than abrupt transition from downtown to inner neighborhoods (i.e. think of say, Queen St. between University Ave. and say, Trinity Bellwoods Park) but I don't think you can conclude from that therefore it's hard to say whether Parkdale is downtown or not.
