I think the vision for density is not skyscrapers, but more realistic density with attached homes, and a lot more 4-6 level, family-size condos. Think Buenos Aires or Paris. I look at this as livable density where building costs are reasonable, and you get enough density to support having everything you need within a short walk.
And obviously every city has suburbs and exurbs where a garden and more space is available.

I'm not saying it feels similar at all, but I believe Montreal and Calgary metro areas both occupy massive foot prints when considering their population sizes.
