How can you talk about cities and  not talk about buildings?

Buildings are essential to any city.

Urban jungles must involve buildings.

[sirs]

Of course they include buildings,     but that's just 1 component, that you wanted to fixate on.  An urban jungle is a laundry list of components that make up a city's urban jungles, which includes buildings.  It also include dense population, streets, alleys, traffic, noise, pollution, higher than the average crime rates & unemployment, just to name some other components. 

But you had some fixation on buidlings, as if that's all that was needed to make some urban jungle.  As I said, only reasons known to you

[Plane]

It is nice to think on alternatives.

Atlanta is built in the forest , such that the trees are thick among the buildings.

Perhaps someday a genetically modified tree will serve as a building.

Seacrete is already a way to grow giant shells in the ocean, we could live in a city of floating seashells.

Or perhaps genetically modified people will be more weather hardened and live in the open sans shelter.

Right now cities seem to be a need, a place to park all the unproductive people.

Who suffer in the surety that they are superfluous.

[Xavier_Onassis]

All cities are certainly not urban jungles. Nor are cities bad places to live. There have been no advanced civilizations that did not include cities. Cities are where culture has taken place. I suppose with the Internet and printers and such, cultural interchanges are now possible without face to face contact, but cities will be where it is happening for a very long time. Every year the o=planet it=s becoming more urban.

[sirs]

Nor did I ever claim "all" cities were urban jungles, professor deflection.  I already gave you an example of some that are.  Try to pay attention

[Xavier_Onassis]

Only some parts of those cities are in any way "urban jungles"

[sirs]

No, Los Angeles is an urban jungle...Detroit is an urban jungle. ... NY city is an urban jungle

[Christians4LessGvt]

cities will be where it is happening for a very long time.

XO another big plus to cities is medical facilities
i have friends that live in remote areas
and I would not want to be that far from elite medical care
of course SIRS being a medical professional knows this!

[sirs]

Indeed

[Plane]

Cities are where culture has taken place.

This is entirely a prejudice on your part.

Rural people are loaded with culture , and sprout poets as often per capata as any city.

Cities demand support from the countryside  , and what do they provide in return?

[Xavier_Onassis]

Cities provide a market for agricultural products. cities provide diversity of thought, cities provide organization and education.
^This country is at least 80% urban by any definition. If rural life was so great, why did it lose out?

[sirs]

It hasn't lost out....that's the point.  In the movie Hunger Games, the Capital couldn't survive without all its rural out-lyers, and only then at gunpoint.  Just because cities are more densely populated doesn't make them "the winners", it simply makes them more populated.  And in many of those cases, those cities becomes precisely the urban jungle, so many wish they could escape from 

[Xavier_Onassis]

Hunger Games is fictional.  It is a fantasy place where mutant jaybirds spy on the people.


If you want to continue with the allegation that  Beverly Hills, Grosse Point and all of LA and Detroit are urban jungles, go ahead.

But it is nonsense.

[sirs]

I know Hunger Games is fictional.....the point was that cities rarely function on their own.  There is some need from outlying districts, be it food, water, logistics, whatever.  And I never said Beverly Hills was an urban jungle.  I clearly said Los Angeles was.  Never said Gross Point was an urban jungle.  I clearly said Detroit was.  Is reading that difficult for you??

[Xavier_Onassis]

Meanwhile, as you quibble about how only SOME of Los Angeles is not an "urban ghetto", innocent little girls in 49 states are being endangered by the phony transsexual child abusers in public lavatories unprotected by the brave and bold NC state government.

I bet some of these abusers are from URBAN GHETTOS and have traveled to wealthy burbs so as to violate a classier type of innocent little girl.
