Answer:
Carolyn Steel is a british architect and writer who is famous for her describing the tight relationship that exists between food and cities.
Explanation:
Steel argues that modern people are as dependent on the natural world as their ancestors, even if they might be unaware of that.
The majority of people in the west live currently in cities that are secluded from nature, and most of them do not know exactly were their food comes from.
Steel argues that this is because developments in transporation technology such as the train and cars made it possible to grow, transport, and produce the food in places outside from the main dwelling areas. Before trains and cars for example, animals had to be walked to the meat markets in the middle of cities and be slaughtered there, so people were fully aware where their meat came from.
Even if modern people have access to advanced technology, they, like their ancestors, are animals that need food, shelter and oxygen, and for this basic need, both of them are dependent on the natural world.
