I associate Mission, Kensingten and 17th as part of downtown. If you think of downtown vancouver it is a bunch of different districts connected by tall buildings. Yaletown, Gastown etc. The thing is in Calgary we started with a larger "downtown" footprint and our smaller population hasn't yet reached the point where there has been demand to infill it. We also didn't do a good job of mixing residential with commercial.

Our problem has more to do with building endless suburbs than the size of our population.
