Two obvious comparables are Copenhagen and Stockholm, and I'm afraid Ottawa doesn't do particularly well in comparison I have to say, as both have subways (although the Copenhagen metro system is pretty small) and functional (albeit expensive) city cores with lots of green space. Ottawa actually could learn a lot from Copenhagen which spent 40 years deliberately transforming itself.
