My take: after the fall, humanity could no longer live as a part of "nature," and took to cities. To redeem man is also to redeem the city!

But this is risky business. Virtually every effort to "redeem" cities has backfired horribly. Likewise with efforts to "redeem" humanity!

I think there's an explanation for this though--all these attempts at making a New Man or Healthy City, etc, come from pride.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any particular alternative. I think that's sort of the point though. It isn't by OUR plans that we're saved.
