I’m not sure about Barcelona but San Francisco is pretty much like Paris in that way (just way leas dense).
It’s really not a fair comparison.

If they're going to just build another The Woodlands (x2, they have twice this much land too) this isn't a very ambitious and transformative project, it's just a big fancy housing development with a Mayor and City Council instead of an HOA. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Woodlands,_Texas https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Woodlands,_Texas
