    First of all, this…

    dense suburban

    …is an oxymoron.

    Second, in the hierarchy of urban greenspace, golf courses are only one step up from the very bottom (just above private lawns).

        So? Whether it’s North America or elsewhere, if it’s dense it’s “urban,” not “suburban.”

          What if it is slightly less dense than what you call dense? Then it’s still the most dense suburban area possible. Clearly there are still varying levels of density within areas not dense enough to be urban.

      Look at what people in NYC and north east NJ call suburban, then look at what someone in upstate NY calls suburban. Density is very different. Look at it as a scale. Dense Urban, Urban, light urban, dense suburban, suburban, etc. I am specifically pointing at places like in NJ where it would more likely be turned into a mall than a park.
