When I was doing a writeup on Teshnos for a long ago project, I took the opposite view. Teshnos was one huge urban sprawl with swathes of jungles and hsunchen reservations where the locals go to see the plants and animals. The density of humans per building is quite low as most of the buildings are empty and overrun with weeds and jungle looking like Mayan pyramids or Angkor Wat.
