Description

Explore the complex realities of community gardens and urban agriculture with Urban Gardening as Politics. Part of the Routledge Equity, Justice and the Sustainable City series, this collection moves beyond simple advocacy or dismissive views. Instead, it provides a deep investigation into how food growing initiatives function within modern cities. This book examines the contradictions found in urban farming, questioning how these projects address social inequality and injustice. It looks at these initiatives as forms of political agency that can contest and transform the concept of the urban environment. Readers will find a rigorous interrogation of land access claims and the ways in which self-help and voluntarism interact with neoliberal agendas. Perfect for students, researchers, and professionals interested in landscape architecture, urban planning, and social justice, this text offers a necessary perspective on how growing food can re-signify city spaces. It provides a critical look at the tension between community-led movements and larger economic structures, making it a valuable resource for understanding the changing landscape of our cities.
