Human beings adapt better, unlike animals, which may go extinct and yet growth is a common feature of environments. The similarity between economies and ecosystems is that tend to develop in a similar manner through adaptations, since what is well suited to the physical or economic environment thrives. Organisms tend to maintain diversity and balance, and cities also require this to maintain vital growth. I will focus on the relationship between humans and nature.
Just like the economy requires interdependent relationships, so is nature and the use relationships can explain how developments and co-developments occur. The creative economy is also important to support sustainability where people cooperate to make changes (Bonislawski). Studying ecology and nature can offer insights on how to use self-organization and development as is common in nature (Jacobs 12). Even as human beings alter ecosystems, people have not destroyed everything in nature as would be assumed because there is capacity to expand and even improve production in nature and even the number of living things has increased.
