Absolutely, I'm not US and I have no experience with megacities, but I am trying to find ways to build cities that better match our needs going forward. I don't know if the American car dependent suburbia is what is needed either.

As for parks in dense cityscapes, I've listened to clever architects who've discovered statistical regression claim that parks are more valuable per square meter the smaller they are... And while true in and of itself, it asks the question, how small is the minimum for them to be usable? Humans that experience greenery (even arranged) daily are healthier both mentally and physically. Where is the cut off?
