The biggest issue with St. John's, "growing up", is the amount of buildings and land that are considered historic - it's actually depressing to see the amount of projects that the St. John's City council turns down, while they allow a complete uncontrolled suburbanization of any land around the city.

St Johns looks like a great city to visit, I would love to go there. I'm just really surprised that it's downtown skyline is so stubby. It would look great with a few larger highrises mixed in, especially with the beautiful setting it's in.
Windsor's skyline does indeed need some density and a few more highrises mixed in to make it look less linear. We have a stretch of towers along the riverfront and also a stretch along our mainstreet, with a few highrises scattered around the rest of the core. Just a few more buildings strategically placed would do wonders for the city.
