Every city’s arrangement of space is a contradiction to nature, since it creates an environment where people live in fear of their space being violated. Peoples personal ego-space is not extended to include nature. It does not provide the psychological space for human growth in relation to nature. Or a value of its inherent potential for psychic life. The value of being a person becomes diminished because of the absence of nature. We never get to fill our concrete space with the dimension of nature and of infinate life.
With city life, we risk our operating value of being humans. Our practical necessities make people dependent without experiencing a relation to a significant part of our world that is the space of the person that nature enters and fills with presence.
