It should be called the place with trees and loosely densely population that would be okay if cars weren’t so ubiquitous because some people like space but let’s make sure not to exclude minorities so people don’t end up racist.
This is not true? Lots of urban areas can sprawl, not least because of car centric planning (big car parks between islands of actual land use; roads built to ease the traffic of roads; urban ‘islands’ of tall and dense occupation connected by road with slivers of green in-between that don’t serve to actually offer a natural environment. Kuala Lumpur features all of these, for example) but also as economic centres decline and become disused and new developments in other areas spread.
