Breathing City

Population shift into and out of the cities is a particularly interesting dynamic. We became an urban species just recently—fifty one percent of us now live in cities and from a green perspective that is not necessarily a bad thing. In 1800 three percent of the world’s population lived in cities. By 2007, it was fifty percent, and by 2050, seventy five percent or more will live in cities. Most of these super cities will border the world’s oceans. Three of the top twenty urban hubs are now in China—a result of the largest human migration in history when peasants moved to the cities for economic opportunity.

The way it should be.

Look how strong formal elements are included in basically naturalistic garden design … Love these long narrow lines of trees in the middle of the jungle … What a brilliant work! s i m i l a r: Private Danish garden by Jørn Møller Jensen / Forest Floor Gardening / Maria Aarts’ garden

"I have always been mad about trees… I get such intense joy from the visual experiences of my surroundings- amazing trees/ birds/ flowers/ landscapes/ seascapes/ buildings- that I want others to experience that joy too." - Gillian Ware s i m i l a r: Through the silent mist / Fog landscapes by Kåre Gade / Landscape photography -365 Project by Liam Grant
