-During the course of this journey, the researcher has begun to question the proposed duality between rural and urban. Instead of partitioning and segmenting one field or one reality from the other, our true strength lies in synthesising both realities. We need to create a new complex reality. We need to create strong linkages between rural and urban systems. We need to have cities which have 'villages' or rural spaces growing and thriving within them. Can we imagine urban inhabitants looking out their of windows onto rice paddies and vegetable gardens, and beyond to forested and natural resource lands? Can we see migrant birds nesting in our homes(or on the building skins) in a symbiotic manner? How can we learn from the communal get-together patterns of urban wild-life and conciously simulate them in our built fabric? How can the quality of life in Brussels or any other urban settlement start having a more healthy, diverse and holistic character?+During the course of this journey, the researcher began questioning the proposed duality between rural and urban.
