Come preferisci, ma secondo me "l'orribile giungla di cemento del parcheggio" non ha molto senso.

quell'orribile giungla di cemento che chiamano parcheggio


Explanation:

"...davanti alla finestra del tuo ufficio?"

"Giungla di cemento" potrebbe essere un riferimento a "Giungla d'asfalto" (The asphalt jungle), un classico del genere hard boiled.
