Really like your environment sketches there, the style and feel of the shapes you use in your designs is rather distinctive. The layering in the future Hong Kong works well, so it has more depth than the forest one. A couple of things might be contributing to that closed in feel - for one the placement of the largest tree in the front kind of blocks the viewer's eye from travelling deeper into the scene. There is also not really a very close foreground - whereas the Hong Kong one has the overlapping bush form, which works with the guy on the balcony to sort of frame things.

Hope that helps, and have fun painting!
