I’ll note that in the US, their urban area definition includes a lot of outlying and substantially unpopulated areas which fall within county boundaries; these areas tend to show up as having long travel times to services.
Vienna has the same issue. There are a bunch of big parks/farmland on the outskirts (but within the city limits).
In the parts where people actually live, it generally is fantastic.
