整个西方社会广泛存在的自然/文化二元论与日益城市化的世界格格不入。基于之前对自然/文化二元性的讨论，提出了一个综合框架，主张拥抱人类景观中发现的“世俗自然”。由于超过一半的人口主要在城市景观中与自然互动，因此提高我们对此类空间的认识对于理解我们的生态意识至关重要。在此背景下，研究了多伦多市最近的屋顶绿化附例的例子以及城市园艺的社会影响。
The dualism of nature/culture widely present within Western society at large is out of step with an increasingly urbanising world. Building on previous discussions of nature/culture duality, an integrative framework is presented that argues for the embracing of the ‘mundane nature’ found within human landscapes. As over half of the human population interacts with nature primarily within urban landscapes, increasing our awareness of such spaces is critical to understanding our ecological consciousness. The examples of a recent rooftop greening bylaw in the city of Toronto and the social impacts of urban gardening are examined in this context.
