In the old days, human beings made their lives by farming and hunting. They can have fun with insects and respect the climate or god. The spirit was connected with the resource from our mother earth and human life. When the technology start to grow fast and transport system becomes easier and more convenient, we don't need to live in a place with food around. Because of the speed to carry food among different places, it becomes much easier for us to get food from different places, even from the other countries or other continents. Food has lost its regional property. Food, what we eat today, is only the product that can be gotten easily as long as we have money. We keep losing the connection between food and human lives. Nowadays, we see more and more parents spend lots of money to find a place in order to let their kids “experience” what farming is instead of” knowing” how we get our daily food. The life in the modern city is losing the connection between the nature land and human life that we used to have. Now we build "ecological houses" without really understanding what “ecological life” is. We never think about the problem which is about the connection between our life experience and mother earth. If people only keep thinking the city problem or living issue by calculating the value of economics, then we will miss the real answer. We will ignore the real value that the nature can bring to us. We’ll ignore the problem of air quality, food quality, water quality and the protection of environment, etc. They are the key points for us to consider more on the problems of the city. In my point of view that how to use the idea of “micro-develop” to face the city development, and how to get the balance between over development and saving the resource from our mother earth in the city will be the key to the next generation.
