Could this be one of the best areas of Urban terrain, currently unmapped?

(Peterborough - perhaps for LOG?)
Having just cycled through it, kilometres of traffic free paths...

Orton Wistow had been mapped and used by WAOC.
For most of the rest of that area you would need armed guards at each control.

Whitstable in Kent is a pretty interesting area - albeit, it is currently being mapped! (Blatant plug )

The best "unmapped" sprint area I know of is Penhale (and some secret locations of sprintScotland). For urban, Livingston Deans&Elibank (map nearly done!).

There are a few housing estates on the west side of edinburgh that look awesome for orienteering.

Re: Best 'unmapped' urban areas?
I'm still keen to see Peterculter, Portlethen and Cove, three Aberdeen suburbs turned into Urban areas but it's still not a popular format due to the number of good forested areas we have up here.
Peterculter (including some (sub)urban woodland) - https://bit.ly/1Pjcn4J
Portlethen - https://bit.ly/1QrI9vv

Holme Wood in Bradford would be ace, although it's a slightly dodgy area with regards to local residents.

In the same broad area, Findochty where we stayed for Moray 2013 would be fun
