This book explores the history and potential of enclosed, almost secretive reserves as local open spaces, connecting them to broader global challenges of cohesion, health, food, and climate change. It will be of interest to a wide readership interested in studying, managing, and improving the quality of all small open spaces in the urban landscape.

Neighborhood open space holds immense importance as a vital component in assessing suburban liveability, originating from the evolution of urban planning as a profession and the proliferation of the garden suburb. Community Green offers a unique perspective on the planning of small open spaces, weaving a narrative that connects the past, present, and future of such spaces. These distinctive planned spaces, often nestled within residential blocks, serve as local pocket parks, reflecting the evolving values of community life from the garden city movement to contemporary new urbanism. This book reclaims the enclosed, almost secretive reserve from history as a distinct type of local open space with its own set of challenges and potentialities, which are relevant to many other green community spaces. By doing so, it fosters broader connections between localism and globalism, the past and the future, and for linking community initiatives to broader global challenges such as cohesion, health, food, and climate change.
This fully illustrated book charts the outcomes and implications of this evolution across several continents, interweaving human stories of civic initiatives, struggles, and triumphs along the way. Community Green appeals to a wide readership, including scholars, practitioners, and enthusiasts interested in studying, managing, and enhancing the quality of all small open spaces within the urban landscape.
