From Nature to the Built Environment

Steven Vogel is a philosopher, a professor at Denison University, and the author of the book Thinking like a Mall. In this video he discusses an alternative take on our concept of nature and what it encompasses. He talks about our role as agents against climate change and the need to change the view that the decision-making processes are limited to a few. He calls for a recognition of the ways in which humans transform the environment, claiming that there is a need to take responsibility in order to prevent a world in which we can’t live in.
