Akademgorodok
A town built inside a forest
Novosibirsk, Russia · 54.85 N · 83.10 E · 1:9000
Built from the late 1950s as a town for scientists, in the pine and birch forest south of Novosibirsk, and most of the forest was left standing around it.
So the map is more trees than town: straight streets and institutes along one side, and paths through the woods everywhere else.
