In many cases ~50 years ago they would put 4-6 storey appartment buildings right on the farm land, with school and grocery shop all together. (At least in East Germany) My old city (30K) had 2 of those 3K-5K micro districts put up in the 80s. Now half of that is demolished because a few years later nobody wanted to live in those anymore :( And instead single family houses (often with just 2m green on the side each ) are build there now. Talk about wasteful. There will actually be less green (that also is not open, so no soccer playing etc) but also not even half the amount of people.

@Homer-OJ-Simpson For a long time many cities had a very strict urbon growth boundary - a wall. Nobody wanted to live outside. If those towns didn't grow after the walls were becoming meaningles, they are still very packed.
