Nah, it's a thing that has a clear number that works. If they said 'more urban' or 'better skyline' or something subjective it would never end.

I wonder seeing that same shot, only ten years ago. The change has been remarkable.

Wikipedia has Toronto at 10,750/sq mi, Chicago at 11,868/sq mi. I'm sure those numbers fluctuate often from source to source though.

The most recent city proper population estimates have them at pretty much identical overall density.

Anyway, lets's see the rest of those pics!

What a great pic! Can't wait for more.

Toronto and Chicago..Who cares which is denser blah blah.. Both are classic examples of North American alpha cities overlooking the Great Lakes.
And ya, Toronto and Chicago kinda roll the same way..Both are lake front financial centres etc...Same MO..Toronto is very much Chicagoesque it seems.

Not even. I would posit 1500', considering it seems to be at about the same height as the space pod.
