I really Doubt it would work for Hamilton. Hamilton's compact built up ares is small. Just outside of downtown reminds me of dreaded parts of Scarborough or North York.
By the early 2000's the inner suburbs of toronto were getting along with "downtown" because the suburbs were becoming more compact with the amount of people streaming into the city. Amalgamated Hamilton is HUGE., its way bigger than Toronto in land area. You have a huge rural township (Flamborough)...it looks like a early 1950's Scarborough, attached to the city .The divide of Urban to rural is too huge.

Hamilton is one of the worst of the amalgamations I have ever seen. It should of been two cities Probably Hamilton and Stony Creek, and the other Dundas and Flamborough, with Ancaster joining one of the two

I see alot of struggles continuing. But hopefully not if Flamborough get some compact urban style housing (like they did in Markham), on the main roads. Greenbelt should be protected, but spacing is running out around The GTA, so some compact small scale building needs to start happening
