Depending on how the outskirts of the city are managed, it can be fine for inhabitants. Too small living quarters are the problem, not the density.

- c00lio 3y agoNonsense. The inner city being a concrete hellscape isn't being helped by nicer parts on the outskirts. How would you improve density if you aren't shrinking the space people live in?
- throw0101b 3y ago> Nonsense. The inner city being a concrete hellscape isn't being helped by nicer parts on the outskirts. Why would the inner city need to be a "concrete hellscape"? You can have decent density without 'concrete hellscapes'.

- c00lio 3y agoThe examples you've shown are north american. For almost all European cities to arrive at the density of those examples, you have do lower it. By a lot.
