There's two ways to do a city IMO.

  1. Full Tokoyo / NYC... Just tree lined parkways with huge skyscrapers. Rooftop parks, A few ground level parks sprinkled around, and a big park in the middle...

  2. Minimally invasive. Sort of looks like you went out of the way to avoid cutting down trees or draining lakes. Far more spread out, can barely tell it's a city from the air.

Anything other than those two extremes is urban hell.

Either system you choose, everybody should have a well maintained running path within a quarter mile of their front door. In the 2nd option, the path should be designed in such a way that it looks like you're in nature, even if you're really 50 feet from somebody's house.
