Should we flee to the Land or revitalize the City? Jacob Hyman and Nathan Bird discuss how the battle between land and city is a false dichotomy. Each is dependent on the other and both are essential to renewal. They also discuss how the modern city has divorced these ways of life: making the land a commodity to extract resources and the modern city a scattered suburban sprawl. Also, the financial cost of these poorly planned cities has led to urban decay and flight to newer cities. But, there is a plan that the Church has for making cities beautiful and connecting with the land.
