Ah yes! I came from a 3rd world country. The urban planning is chaotic and pollution everywhere.

Whenever I travel to a 1st world western country, both city and suburb, I see the clear blue sky and sceneries (buildings, roads, layout) that make me feel like I'm in a 3D FPS or city sim game.

Places that seem like surreal 3D renders have attracted the name "liminal space" if you want some keywords to find similar material, although the aesthetic tends to veer towards solitary and slightly creepy environments

I felt the same the first time I came to Europe (from South America). I thought I was in a Truman Show set. I eventually ended up living here.
