| "As
social values shift to a more holistic perception of our relationship
to nature, so will our expectations shift to a greater desire
to complement our urban lifestyle with elements of nature."
(Miller, 24)
"Urban
residents desire urban trees, parks, and forests for a variety
of reasons. We are a species that evolved from the natural
world and find it difficult to live without some contact with
nature. As we become more urban in our ways of living, the
desire for contact with nature will increase rather than decrease.
This desire will manifest itself in an increased demand for
urban tree and forest amenities as we seek to enhance the
quality of life in our cities." (Miller, 25)
