There is no objectively correct answer. Discussing and arguing in this thread is fine but don't be dicks.

Something like the world in A Psalm for the Wild Built and A Prayer for the Crown Shy (Monk and Robot series) by Becky Chambers.

Half the world is left to nature, the other half is used by people in various self-sufficient villages. Walking off the path is strongly discouraged. Beaches are similarly something to be appreciated from afar.

*They all almost died because they were close to completely destroying their planet with unchecked industrialism. This society is after that, having learned from their previous mistakes. They know there must be a balance. It's a reflection on what's happening right now.

Not being able to enjoy nature sounds awful.
