One anecdote I can give: in 2016 I was on a flight from Edmonton to Toronto and as we were landing a man and his young son/nephew next to me were looking out the window at the Mississauga skyline and the man said "Look [insert child's name], we're over downtown Toronto... but, I can't find the CN Tower though?!"
This is my photo of Downtown from my condo at Sheppard in North York where I used to live. There is 10 km of suburbia between my place and the 4 km wide Downtown. And, there is 20 km of suburbia behind me.Did dad not notice it was sitting in a sea of suburbia?

Yes, there are some more pockets of urbanity extending from downtown but the vast majority of Toronto and the areas surrounding it are suburban. The point was that Downtown Toronto from far away in the air won't look too different then Mississauga's City Centre besides the obvious difference in size.Some of it is suburban but some is very urban. Urban isn't just tall towers. Yonge Street (and others) are quite urban even if they don't show in that photo.
From their website and this article:So with all the talk about elevators or lack of elevators in other buildings. What is the elevator to unit ratio in these buildings.
