...so it's worth bearing in mind that it wasn't as much of a leap for some of our major cities.

Worth noting though that Cdn cities tend to be more dense, on average, than many American cities (or even global ones!). This data is from 2018, but at that point Vancouver was more dense than Amsterdam. Montreal was more dense than Chicago or Philly...

Much like @maxdubler.com, I have a lot of respect for Strong Towns. I can only speak to the Canadian context but there's much more in common than in difference. At the end of the day though, transformative change has mostly come from individual provinces (i.e., BC) or federal action.

Some of our largest cities had already enacted major reforms, but this was necessary to drag some of our more intransigent medium-sized cities into twenty-first century urban planning. Some even refused! But the overall effect is that thanks to a centralized government's action, we got big changes.
