If the city's ratio of open space to built space is too high, then: - more driving is necessary - you have to live on top of each other
Parks are a welcome asset in cities, to be sure--but they're *part* of a city, not an escape from it.
When you really want to get away from the city and out into nature, you want to *leave the city* itself. Here, again, compact cities help...
...because they make it much easier for unbroken, unspoiled wilderness to begin where the city ends.
this is plausible intuitively, but London's green belt is used very little, whereas internal parks + spaces are used a lot
I don't disagree; this just shows that people don't want to *leave the city* as often as the hype would have us believe
cities are life. All we need is trains to get between them :D
