Abstract

Escape is an enticing idea in contemporary cities across the world. Austerity, climate breakdown and spatial stigma have led to retreatist behaviours such as gated communities, enclave urbanism and white flight. By contrast, urban community growing projects are often considered by practitioners and commentators as communal havens in a stressful cityscape. Drawing on ethnographic research in urban growing projects in Glasgow, this book explores the spatial politics and dynamics of community, asking who benefits from such projects and how they relate to the wider city. A timely consideration of localism and community empowerment, the book sheds light on key issues of urban land use, the right to the city and the value of social connection.Escape is an enticing idea in contemporary cities across the world.

Abstract

This book provides an insightful exploration of community gardening near the A6 highway in the northern suburbs of Lyon. Through engaging monologues from Antoine, Fi/f_i, and Riton, the narrative delves into the art of cultivating a garden in an associative setting. The authors, Agnès Hardy and Frédéric Chagnard, who have previously produced films on similar topics, offer a colorful portrait of these family gardens and the dynamics within the community. The work is both a practical guide and a reflection on the personal stories and relationships that form around shared gardening spaces, appealing to enthusiasts of urban agriculture and community development.

Abstract

Si les jardins partagés peuvent être perçus comme un phénomène de mode pour un public urbain en manque de verdure, ils sont issus d’une longue histoire de réappropriation des terres, en réaction à leur privatisation ou à leur abandon. Au-delà du simple territoire à cultiver, ils soulèvent de nombreuses interrogations sur l’organisation sociale telle que nous la connaissons.Gérés en communauté, ces espaces interrogent d’une part la démocratie comme mode d’organisation. Victoria Sachsé, grâce à une ethnographie à Strasbourg et à Rome, montre comment le jardin peut être un lieu de participation citoyenne et devenir un vecteur d’émancipation et de politisation.D’autre part, l’autrice fait ressortir les enjeux de l’implication au jardin, qui modifie le rapport à la terre et à l’alimentation, bouleversant la perception des rôles de consommateur et de producteur, et ce, jusqu’à la remise en cause du modèle agricole conventionnel.Enfin, l’ouvrage montre comment les associations de jardiniers deviennent légitimes pour penser la coproduction de l’espace public aux côtés des institutions, redéfinissent la propriété et introduisent la notion de « communs » en réponse à la crise sociale et environnementale.

Abstract

One of the more welcome changes in Boston's urban landscape has been the recent transformation of abandoned lots in to flourishing community gardens. In To Dwell Is to Garden, a distinguished scholar and a veteran photographer join forces to provide a history and a celebration of these urban oases and of the people who have made them possible. Sam Bass Warner, Jr., traces the origins of Boston's urban community gardens back to the English allotment gardens created to keep country folk from starving during the first great wave of urbanization. Warner suggests that today's urban community gardens owe their existence not to philanthropy or patriotism but to an activist impulse stemming from the civil rights movement, which emphasized self-help, local autonomy, and personal dignity to combat the problems of urban decay. The spirit of today's urban community gardens is captured in Hansi Durlach's compelling photographs of those individuals, young and old, who have worked together to clear the rubble and till the soil. From China and Chile, from Italy and Arkansas, from the suburbs and from next door, their comments, recorded by Durlach, linger in the mind and in the heart. Originally published by Northeastern University Press in 1987. With a new foreword by Jill Eshelman.
