Oxymoronically, yes. Otherwise, there is always nature fighting back against urbanism, otherwise known as civilization. Nature in urban settings is always fighting for its life. Watch for it! I love when buildings start to get reclaimed by nature… Once a building is abandoned, the green just starts to consume the toxic brick, cinder, cement and black top… Like you can see in your second pic, sorta!

nature does have a powerful ability to reclaim what it once had.
the weeds quickly break though the cracks, and if we come back in
20, 100 years, what would we see? look at the jungles and how they reclaimed
the meso america structures.
let it be free, it is so contained with in the urban matrix.
