Obviously a simplification/joke but curious how accurate it is and figured there would atleast be one person here who knows lol

This could be a map of London to be honest.
Also Paris.
Really not sure what the criticism is, this seems to be a pretty natural evolution of city development.
tfw no London or Paris People's Square
Nah, European Cities have layers. There's the old city in the center (not just a gate but the entire old city that was enclosed by the medieval fortifications) which is surrounded by 19th century neoclassic quarters with mixed use. Instead of factories there's brownfields where factories used to be. Nail houses don't exist at all. There may be some high rise quarters but not as many, and instead of having that clear break between city and surrounding farms there's scores of suburban single family home developments.
That really doesn't describe London or Paris. Yes there was once an enclosed old city, there are some famous landmarks within it, but that enclosed old city is literally the skyscraper bank/finance-capital zone of London now. In Paris it doesn't exist because the city was and rebuilt by Napoleon. All the other features are mostly correct.
And London has a few nail houses, the problem with finding them is that nail house is not a popular term to use in the UK: https://www.indiatimes.com/trending/wtf/london-nail-house-wickham-spiegelhalters-566867.html
