In Britain after WWII there was a severe housing shortage and the solution they came up with was “row houses” basically large apartment blocks. The genius part of this was along with this you also got an allotment. A small parcel of land where you could garden and enjoy the outdoors.

    My grandparents had a council house in the UK, thankfully the allotmemt was just an extended back garden/yard. It was affordable housing for a family of 8.
