Synopsis
The study is based on the breaking point of the dependency between species in the modern cities established after the industrial revolution. Mankind have moved away from nature and the species they lived together and dependently for centuries in modern cities. The banishment of animal species in the city and their objectification and commodification in the name of human needs are criticized. This anthropocentric perspective is described as The Troubled Middle. It is widely practiced in modern cities. It is emphasized that The Troubled Middle and the place where the modern city will take humanity will be the Emerocene. It is underlined that the Eremocene is unsustainable.
