These background images from JoWi seems particularly appropriate, the rear of tenement buildings rather than a distant view, the effect being sought is that of the back side of the city, rather cramped certainly not rural. 

The height of the SMS backscene is rather useful in this respect and the frequent use of concrete walling only heightens the claustrophobic ambience.
