I live in a city with a population of around 1.2 million people. We’ve got maybe three or four parks that are somewhat larger, most of which are at the edges of the city. Two of them consist of a lot of grass and few trees. The city center has no big parks at all despite having a population of ±150k. It’s the definition of a concrete jungle.

When it gets warm outside you can actually feel yourself melting. There’s no place to cool down. You can cut through the smog on the worst days. There’s concrete and density everywhere around you. Sure, the buildings look nice but they’re still buildings.

That’s urban hell if you ask me. Not this city with greenery and some tall buildings.
