Canadian Cities: population living in tall buildings (5 storey+) - Page 2

Toronto will likely top a million very soon... and 40-45% of all population growth will likely come from High rise development.

According to those numbers and percentages in the first post, Greater Vancouver only has 1,846k people. Where are the other 400k at?

Victoria would be higher, but most apartments and condos are limited to 4-storeys!

Considering how old the population figures are here, and how much the city and highrises have grown, it already has.

These numbers are pretty damn low. I imagine Cobourg would be around 5%. I have no idea really.

Interesting stats.

I wonder why apartment living even in smaller Canadian centres is still higher then comparable places in the USA?

Wonder why Canadian imbrace apartment/condo living more.

While we haven't fully embraced the American Dream, we certainly aren't Europe. We're somewhere between the two.

yeah, i was wondering that too....all the cities seem a bit short....this is what it lists as the communities included in vancouver's numbers....total population 'living in households' was 1,963,645...maybe the rest are homeless.

it shows that there are almost 15 000 people in 'moveable dwellings' in edmonton....way more than most cities....weird.

The Quebec side of Ottawa-Gatineau brings the Ottawa CMA's % down since slab apartments are not as common in Quebec as they are in Ontario.

eemy · #32 Posted **Dec 3, 2006, 3:47 PM**

^ If anyone has access to the 2001 Census, it should be fairly straight forward to obtain the count for just Ottawa. Statscan always provides the data for Ottawa and Gatineau separately and jointly. Since this is just by CMA, they don't have the data listed separately. As far as I can tell, the data available on the Community Profile part of the Statscan website is only from the shortform, and possibly select parts of the longform. This data isn't available for free though.

No surprised Hamilton is at the top 3. Considering Hamilton still has the tallest residental tower in Canada outside of the GTA.

got any stats to prove your fact?
How tall is this residential tower?

SteelTown · #35 Posted **Dec 3, 2006, 6:42 PM**

Landmark Place which is that skyscraper with the Christmas lights on the top of it is 43 storey. It's not a mixed used building it's completely a residential building.

its 5 meter taller than Le port royal in mtl maybe because of the christmas tree?

SteelTown · #37 Posted **Dec 3, 2006, 6:58 PM**

No there's a pole on top of that tower so during Christmas they decorate it by throwing some Christmas lights around it to make it look like a gaint Christmas tree. That constant flashing red light at the top of the pole is the star of the Christmas tree lol.

Tone · #38 Posted **Dec 3, 2006, 6:59 PM**

(just kidding)nice Christmas look for sure

MolsonExport · #39 Posted **Dec 4, 2006, 7:10 PM**
