Note from asker:
This is generally cité-jardin in the texts I work on. Perhaps I should just put park city. |

Comment: "I went garden city, since it is in my view the closest to the actual concept. I didn't feel that it was right to refer to park city, which may have mislead the reader."

Interesting idea |
In other contexts this could well have worked. I will keep it in reserve. |

green belt
This might fit the bill, although I know that "ceinture verte" also exists, and I'm not sure how well the two concepts mesh. But I thought I'd suggest it anyway...
Note from asker:
My understanding of Green belt is that it is land that is not used for development (although this changes depending on urban policy and the politicians in power). In the texts I'm doing at the moment, most of these open spaces are being sized up for future developments in the context of the Grand Paris Express. |

metro-park
Conjures up images of Megamind and Metroman, lol... for those who haven't seen the movie, do yourself a favour and head out to your nearest DVD store. "And I love you, random citizen..." :-)
On a more (ahem) serious note, this may be an opportunity to either coin a new word or, in my case, give a new meaning to an existing one.

Example sentence:
Open spaces...become the foundation for metro-parks.
Note from asker:
The problem with the word 'metro' in Paris is that you could confuse it with the transport system. Thanks all the same. |

Wiki : Émile Aillaud dessine une cité-parc : un immeuble sinueux de plus d’un kilomètre de long qui enclot comme un rempart un parc d’un seul tenant, d’environ 4 ha planté de 1 500 arbres avec des pelouses de jeux, des pistes de patinage.

Here concept of a "forest city": Milton Keynes (city and not town)
"City in the forest"
The original Development Corporation design concept aimed[15] for a "forest city" and its foresters planted millions of trees from its own nursery in Newlands in the following years. As of 2006, the urban area has 20 million trees. Following the winding up of the Development Corporation the lavish landscapes of the Grid Roads and of the major parks were transferred to The Parks Trust, a charity which is independent from the municipal authority and which was intended to resist pressures to build on the parks over time. The Parks Trust is endowed with a portfolio of commercial properties, the income of which pay for the upkeep of the green spaces, a maintenance model which has attracted international attention.[23]
Its huge park:
...
Finally, five "third-generation" towns were launched in the late 1960s: these were larger, some of them based on substantial existing settlements such as Peterborough. The most famous (and to some, notorious) was probably Milton Keynes, roughly midway between London and the West Midlands, on account of its Brutalist architectural ambitions, reflecting the thinking of Alison and Peter Smithson and other British architectural idealists. Milton Keynes is known for its huge central park and shopping centre, designed from the outset as a new city – though in law it is a 'New Town'...
