I mean I dunno, I think if you actually confined the global human population to that level of extreme density, it might be more environmentally friendly. I'm not quite sure of that really because the portrayals in all of the different kinds of media are so vastly different. Obviously the actual environment itself is kind of a 90's cocaine hellscape, but I dunno. I guess my point is maybe just that I find the architecture of cyberpunk landscapes to really be way too impressive and imaginative for the level of dystopia it's supposed to be. A more cynical vision of humanity is one that's not even capable of large built infrastructure projects, and just covers the earth in asphalt and concrete because they're so consistently chasing short term gains.
