MODERATORS
Which cities do you think handle this well?
Swiss cities are quite small but they tend to be dense and have a quick transition to forest or farmland.
It's not so much as city as a town, but this video on Brattleboro, Vermont makes it sound like quite a nice mix of dense urbanism + surrounding nature.
Basically any major city in Europe has this down already, or is close to it
SĂŁo Paulo is in the top 10 of largest cities in the world, and we have an acceptably decent amount of protected natural spaces, both within the city and around it.
Mostly smaller college towns in rural areas.
