I thank Theodore Evans and Joanna Coleman for giving me the opportunity to take their urban ecology course, which provided the inspiration for this paper. I am grateful to an anonymous reviewer for encouraging me to extend my theoretical boundaries. I also thank Lin Shuyan and Shirlena Huang for productive comments that helped enhanced the clarity of the paper. That said, I take responsibility for, what hopefully is, an improved version of the original submission.
