I feel like I'm camping even in lovely cities if I'm in a detached house set back from the sidewalk, so my nightmare is basically any of the Russian cities that are 99.9% concrete apartment blocks. Enormously wide streets, HUGE setbacks and green areas. It's how I imagine a lunar base should look, not a city.

I mean... just kill me.

If I had to follow the formula...

Murmansk (or any of the other's) urban form
Edinburgh's colours and nightlife
Halifax's attitude
Old Quebec City's ratio of locals/tourists
Belfast's ease of movement
Branson's arts scene
Oymyakon's climate
