Recently, I've been thinking about "City Country Fingers," a way of integrating urban and agricultural land found in Christopher Alexander's "A Pattern Language." You can read his description of the pattern here: http://iwritewordsgood.com/apl/patterns/apl003.htm http://iwritewordsgood.com/apl/patterns/apl003.htm With the Monks Wood rewilding in mind, I wonder how we could transition urban areas toward a city country finger pattern. Though perhaps there should be three kinds of fingers: city, agriculture, and wilderness. Alexander's "country" is just farmland, though he envisions its recreational use too.
