ABSTRACT
Cities versus forests “Much of unconscious life of the individual is rooted in interaction with otherness that goes beyond our own kind, interacting with it very early in personal growth, not as an alternative to human socialization, but as an adjunct to it Identity formation grows from the subjective separation of self from non-self, living from non-living, human from nonhuman, and proceeds in a speech to employ plant and animal taxonomy as a means of conceptual thought and as a model of relatedness”. During the history of civilization, the human species acquire triumph over the inhospitable environment, and such human supremacy leads to the idea of dualism between “civilized” and “wilderness”. Civilized World or cities became the natural habitat of civis, and wilderness became the resource for civis.
