Definitely not. The former is easily an oppressive 1984-esque metropolis while the latter easily feels nice.
Another key parameter is density. Low density with plenty of greenery and people will feel and be happy even if they may need a car.
- pc86 3y agoIsn't low density by definition not a city?
- mytailorisrich 3y ago"Low density" is a relative term and there are ranges in everything. You can have a city mostly made of huge, packed tower blocks, or a city mostly made of small buildings with some space in between.
- kiba 3y agoCars will easily make a place feel like a 1984 metropolis. They need space intensive infrastructure to drive on, which is asphalt and concrete.
