"The belief that the city is an entity apart from nature and even antithetical to it has dominated the way in which the city is perceived and continues to affect how it is built. The city, the suburbs, and the countryside must be viewed as a single, evolving system within nature."

-- Anne Whiston Spirn, The Granite Garden, Urban Nature and Human Design, 1984
