It is essential to give ourselves a space to connect with nature solitarily. A space where you can exist undisturbed, near growing things. A place sheltered from the wind, shadowed over by trees and bushes. Notoriously this is something that most people living in urban environments don't get to experience. General lack of vegetation in cities makes this even harder. 

In the chapter city country fingers (3), the topic of people wanting to leave the city is discussed. The surveys are showing larger and larger percentages of people living in urban environments wanting to leave the city behind, in exchange for a humble county environment. Living in the city you must still uphold you connection to the rural land it is built upon. Losing this connection is proven to be detrimental, from this is where we come from.
