Griffnaut Tracker (Murders at Karlov Manor No. 17, Illus. Svetlin Velinov)

One area of Ravnica worldbuilding that I often find myself wondering about are the city's "outskirts." As far as we know, the plane of Ravnica is entirely covered by city. But even in modernmetropolises, the city limits usually include some parts that are not as built up as the center, or borderline countryside (like the mountainous western part of Tokyo prefecture). So could it be similar on Ravnica?

Most Ravnica sets are set within the tenth district, which is essentially the heart of the city - so the backgrounds are usually filled with buildings. However, there have been some instances where the environment seem less urban. Take this forest from Return to Ravnica, for example. It looks like the central districts are off in the distance, and the part that is shown here is slightly tending towards the "rural" side. This mountain from the same set also seems to show the city center giving way to a low-rise surburbia kind of region.

In MKM, there are another few examples: This forest, this Island, this Plains. Going by how Ravnica is usually portrayed, you'd expect to see a mass of huge spires on the horizon, but the sky is mostly empty here, and the buildings that are there are around four stories tall at their highest point. The art for Tolsimir, Midnight's Light also shows him standing in what seems to be an empty field (although since Vitu-Ghazi is visible in the distance, I suppose this is a smaller area that was leveled during the Phyrexian invasion).

The background on Griffnaut Tracker seems to give us another glimpse at "rural Ravnica." There's a huge spire and some city blocks on the right, but in the left, beyond the Selesnya Guildgate, you can see meadows and natural hills, with a river slowly winding through them. Clouds are obscuring the horizon, so I guess one could argue that this is supposed to show a big park, not the countryside. But it doesn't really look like a Selesnyan park, does it? If that was the case, I'd expect to see a lot more landscaping, trees and groves interwoven with architecture, etc. The background right here just looks like a stretch of not-built-over land that's maybe maintained by a few rangers.

Of course, I don't think Griffnaut Tracker (or any of the basic lands I mentioned) confirm the existence of a "rural Ravnica." It's still fully speculative at this point. However, I do like the idea that there are far-off parts of the city where the plane almost retains some of its original, natural surface. Having fringes like that makes the setting a bit more realistic/diverse. It's something that would be nice to see explored a bit in future visits to the plane - even if it's just in the background like here.
