Abstract
The Anthropocene is the proposed geological epoch where
humans have changed some of Earth’s systems. There are many
debates surrounding the Anthropocene from if it is a new geological
epoch, if it is a new epoch when did it begin and the distinction
between nature and human made [1]. Cities have had a major
environmental impact across the world, shaping the physical
geological environment and could be considered monuments of
the Anthropocene. During the Anthropocene, humans have shifted
from nomadic and rural lifestyles towards hunting in the big city.
