Really interested and excited for the follow up article after this one. What you have said is so true, moving from the Philippines seeing that it is such a centralized country with almost everything business, government departmental associating,historical are mostly in the greater Metro Manila region seeing they’re the only ones with an actual urban rail system in our country. Does not help the country is divided into islands, but political and investment will makes it hard for other cities to have transit options.
I applaud Canada for being diverse and not much decentralized, at a cost that cities are so spread apart due to the land mass. Though it does seem to be on the way there for Toronto, feeling practically the nation’s centre for any development and growth. It does show when all those “Alberta is calling” ads people move to Calgary or to an extent Edmonton, for it’s a bit similar to other subway cities and able to somehow implement car-lite life as well for those who would like to use the LRT systems and still feel like a “big city” without it being that expensive, despite gas is cheaper.
Though some what unpopular but maybe other smaller cities should somewhat take the brunt of the immigrants coming into Canada and have them be planned and built for transit early to cope with the demand and the possible cost being cheaper than bigger cities. Let’s the cities get more development, see more funding from levels of government, and be more enticing for other people to chose them as an option than just the bigger cities. It’s a generational change and somewhat follows the “______ is full”
Yeah, shifting more immigration to other cities with better aids and incentives would be smart, as would be building the infrastructure to support that!
