In the US, that would be considered urban, not suburban.

This is a US suburb:

Far less density of people.

Right (I grew up in US suburbia) but to people who visit us it feels suburban. Which I hope can help sell the idea that you can have the upsides of suburban life without living in a sea of asphalt.

From that lede photo, far less communal open space for walking, running, kicking a ball, etc.

Leading to a car centric less active and less communal lifestyle.
