Keep in mind that Calgary's "footprint" has about 250km2 of land yet to be developed. Calgary maintains at least a 30 year unbuilt land supply. Most other cities on this list are central municipalities (the oldest parts of a metro city) long built out - i.e. downtown and surrounding older communities. Very apples to oranges comparison.
