Yes, they are key. That ring of communities that mostly started as post-war suburbs but became inner-city neighbourhoods in the decades since are the most ripe for densification. Being that they mostly follow the street grid and have rectangular blocks it's much much easier for them to be redeveloped. Unfortunately they have some of the most vociferous opponents to it.
Neighbourhoods like Scarboro and Mount Royal are problematic because of restrictive covenants...
