The "we are not the same" meme template, but here it says, "You want dense, walkable, transit-oriented cities because you love the vibrancy and convenience of urban life.

Which cities do you think handle this well?
Swiss cities are quite small but they tend to be dense and have a quick transition to forest or farmland.
It's not so much as city as a town, but this video on Brattleboro, Vermont makes it sound like quite a nice mix of dense urbanism + surrounding nature.
SĂŁo Paulo is in the top 10 of largest cities in the world, and we have an acceptably decent amount of protected natural spaces, both within the city and around it.
Basically any major city in Europe has this down already, or is close to it
