Calgary's skyline is a lot bigger and centralized than Mississauga!

Dubai is clobbering you as far as urban development goes. The Bow will be a nice start, but you need about 100 buildings over 1000 feet if you want to catch up.

Dubai and Calgary are unique in the world in that they both have been blessed with an unparalleled investment boom that may last decades fuelled by massive energy wealth. They are roughly the same size, rich, and growing at break neck speed. Dubai seems to have a clear goal not just to be the middle east's #1 city, but the world's. What is Calgary going to do with this once in a generation opportunity? So far, Dubai has accomplished alot more. Like it or not, history will compare these two cities to see what each did with their wealth and golden opportunity. |

Calgary gets the scrapers, Edmonton gets the factories.
 Edmonton doesn't even have a single office tower under construction yet! |

Calgary's skyline is very big for such a small population.

Calgary really has it's own genre so to say for structure design.
