Excellent- More about Urban Gardening and the Struggle for Social and Spatial Justice
The book explores urban gardening practices as a means of addressing spatial justice, social cohesion, inclusiveness, social innovations, and equity in cities. It critically examines international case studies to investigate whether gardeners are able to contrast urban spatial arrangements that produce peculiar forms of social organization and structures for inclusion and exclusion, considering pervasive inequalities in access to space, natural resources, and services.

The book delves into an extensive and theoretically-informed examination of the resurgence of urban gardening practices across the globe, serving as emerging avenues for bottom-up socio-political engagement. By complementing scholarly insights with real-life case studies, it specifically focuses on how these practices effectively address a range of critical concerns, including environmental sustainability, urban planning, spatial justice, social cohesion, inclusivity, social innovation, and equity in cities. Through a rigorous analysis of international case studies, this collection explores whether and how gardeners are capable of challenging urban spatial arrangements that perpetuate peculiar forms of social organization and structures that either promote or hinder inclusion and exclusion. It further investigates the extent to which gardeners are aware of and responsive to pervasive inequalities in access to space, natural resources, and services, as well as significant disparities in living conditions.
This book holds significant relevance to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 16, which aims to promote peace, justice, and strong institutions. By highlighting the transformative potential of urban gardening, it contributes to the broader pursuit of sustainable development and the creation of more inclusive and equitable cities.
