A forest is a complex biodiverse extended living organism described by
being:
- regenerative,
- sustainable,
- random,
- unregulated,
- resilient,
- community engaged (plants, microbes, invertebrates, birds, animals),
- Productive (as a natural system.)
These words can be used to describe a Forest.
But a forest does not contain infrastructure as people know it. Mortgages,
property boundaries, fear of damage from trees and legal responsibility or
ownership over the human built asset and urban landscape prevail. These
are just some of the ways to describe Urban.
