dimensiones humanas

Spanish to English Social Sciences Other
Hi I'd appreciate your help with this term.

Context is:
"La Universidad de La Rioja está ubicada en las afueras de la ciudad, pero a un paso del centro de la ciudad. Logroño es la capital de La Rioja, cuenta con unos 150.000 habitantes en su área metropolitana y todos los servicios de una moderna capital con dimensiones humanas. Logroño se comunica con capitales cercanas como Bilbao o Pamplona, a una hora por carretera; y, en el mismo tiempo, desde su aeropuerto, con Barcelona o Madrid, capital de España, en varios vuelos diarios que permiten enlazar vuelos internacionales."

Thanks :)

[see below]

"On a human scale" is fine, but here's an alternative:
"...combines big-city amenities with a small-town feel".
Peer comment(s):

agree neilmac : Nice take. And I agree that "on-scale" is the best collocation.
