The green areas sem to be mostly grass, which while pretty, are bad at providing shade, carbon capture, and use a lot of water. So, better than a parking lot, but not by a lot.
You might not be considering the natural areas that needed to be destroyed to move all of those people and businesses. Density is better than sprawl for the environment for that reason.
Sure, yeah, fuck cars…
But was it supposed to look better in the top picture?
Like the second picture at least has a green space.
Not saying the second looks better… But definitely not worse
