I do not know how many of you have read in the PHB the size of Ottawa for ACM but when I did I was almost set off my feet a little. For ACM there are 10 million people in Ottawa. That is over 10 times more people than are currently living in Ottawa 870,000 (According to City of Ottawa.) Now for me I see these numbers and go, right if I want to try and get a grip on this I look at any location in the city and say that there is about 10 times more poeple there. Yes there are exceptions but I am just talking generalities. So our intrepid ST team, I have a question. Given the population of Ottawa for the game has the area that Ottawa takes up grown in accordance to the population?

Less green space/parks than the real world. Smaller homes, more high rises. Helps to jam more humans into the city.

The population difference in our version of Ottawa is mostly symbolic in nature, but Ottawa's housing would be denser, and downtown and other areas would be "taller". Ottawa's green space is also more occupied, so less parks and whatnot (what a shame). Despite this population difference, you can still feel very isolated in Ottawa. Either you are at a location that is jam packed with people, or you're on a lonely street where you can only hear your own footsteps. Tev

Similar climates, similar size, etc. I'd be interested to explore reasons why Capital Ottawa has so many people, but the OOC narrative necessity probably sums to "so a boatload of vampires don't stick out".

Cities are bigger. As the STs said, the city grew upwards as well as outwards. That lovely greenbelt? Well it got tightened. Less midsize housing, more condos/apartments.

Carleton University has some projections. Could be handy. I wonder how transit would work... No wait. Thinking to hard.
