Calgary strikes me more as a suburban city more than anything else, but let's see how much that's changed in the Nenshi area.

Calgary does have a very strong downtown core basically hemmed in by the CPR tracks to the south and the Bow River to the north. There are four nearby nodes (Kensington, Bridgeland, Inglewood and the Beltline) that will attract a good number of people to them - some people even consider the Beltline as a part of downtown but these four areas still have a very non-downtown feel to them. The Beltline's increasing height though is where the line starts to blur between itself and downtown - maybe the best defining feature of downtown Calgary's core would be the area that is served by the +15 system.
