Chile and Canada aren't exactly outside of America though
I can't fairly judge as I haven't been to most of these cities. I can vouch for London, a lot of green space and parks.. very beautiful.
I can also vouch for Amsterdam.. although it was freezing cold when I went, there are also some lovely parks there and I had a great time there
