Event description
16 March - ‘Environmentally illiterate? Societal disconnection from nature in the city’, Mathew Frith. Cities are for people not for nature, but there is a disconnection from the natural world – not only a physical distance, but a metaphorical and psychological distance. Urban communities are connected to information, seeking to protect us from the outside world, but emulating the more attractive parts of it virtually with consequences for the values we place on nature, and how we choose to relate to it. What does this mean for our future relationship with nature?
