As a plantsperson this is why I am so supportive of reducing car dependency in our cities. Not to mention the myriad other reasons.
This is really important.
The main thing that makes it hard to achieve nature and green integrated in cities isn’t density of buildings or density of people — it's density of cars. And the more well-designed density of people and buildings that you achieve, the fewer cars you’ll need or want.

I hope the Ontario Government pulls out Toronto bike lanes. We need some examples of poor leadership and incompetent decisions not based on any facts. We have so much research on the other side. It would help prove the point. Says someone that doesn’t live it ON
