Semi-urban areas can be rich environmentally. I saw a story somewhere around that bees are much better off in suburbia because there's less pesticides than in the country side.

Interesting point, but nevertheless you can't grow much crop in semi-urban areas, can you? Then again, maybe you can. Sorry I'm just tying this to my comment above, but your comment is really not about that, so let's just say I'm talking aloud to myself :)
