[edit] Need for references
This article is interesting and well-written, IMO. However, it relies on a certain interpretation of the word "wilderness." It needs one or more references to support this point of view. Please add citations from a reliable source. Sunray 17:31, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] A vote AGAINST merger
From what I can see, "urban wilderness" qualifies as a movement, while urban forestry is a practice or profession that may draw inspiration from a number of ethics or aesthetics movements related to architectural or landscaping. Now if the intent is to merge all articles dealing with specific ethical or aesthetic movements with articles on associated practices or professions, that might make sense. But I don't see what is gained thereby, especially if today's one-paragraph article becomes a multi-page production over time. This one already has a link to "New Urbanism" & "Gentrification" -- I'm sure other legit links and elaborations will occur to participants. But we're more likely to see such contributions and elaborations if movements are allowed some logistical independence from larger articles they might otherwise be included under merely for the sake of tidiness.

Agreed. Urban wilderness is a wider movement of which urban forestry is only a small but significant element. By the way: I added some See Also links to the bottom. Tell me if they're not appropiate/conform to standards. --Egregius 15:33, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
