Not sure the exact dynamic in downtown Edmonton WRT landowners and whatnot, in most of my visits there it seems like most businesses are slightly more spread across town than in Calgary (probably because their city is split up by a massive river valley), and like Calgary they do have a lot of space to develop as well (most of Alberta east of the mountains is relatively flat). Their economy is a little more diverse in the sense that they have a lot of government officials. It's a nice city but they have bitterly cold winters (even though as I write this there's snow on the ground in Calgary and a snowfall warning for all of southern Alberta) and less tourism than Calgary. The rest of AB is basically smaller agricultural towns, with a few oil towns that are basically glorified work-camps (Grande Prairie and Fort McMurray) and then a few mountain towns that have their own crazy dynamic due to national park regulations.
