The book investigates the development of community gardens with self-built structures, which have existed as a shared public open space land use form in New York City’s low-come neighborhoods like the South Bronx since the 1970s. These gardens have continued to be part of the urban landscape until today, despite conflicting land use interests, changing residents groups and contradictory city planning. Both community gardens and self-built structures are created in a participatory design and self-built effort by urban residents and are an expression of the individual gardeners’ preferences, their cultural background and the decisions made by the managing residents’ group in regards to the needs of their neighborhood. Ultimately community gardens with self-built structures are an expression of the people’s will to commonly use this land for open and enclosed structures next to their homes in the city and need to be included in future urban planning.

Urbane Gemeinschaftsgärten sind aus der Stadt nicht mehr wegzudenken. Aus vereinzelten Pionierprojekten entstand im Laufe der vergangenen zwei Jahrzehnte ein Netzwerk von rund 1000 Initiativen. Als erdverbundene Orte haben sie das Potenzial, Stadt wie Gesellschaft grundlegend zu verändern. Doch was ist das Besondere an urbanen Gärten und warum sind sie unverzichtbar? Gemeinsam mit Autor*innen aus Wissenschaft, Forschung und Aktivismus beleuchten wir die unterschiedlichen Dimensionen der neuen urbanen Gartenbewegung - und loten ihre Rolle bei der Mitgestaltung einer menschen- und naturgerechten Stadt der Zukunft aus.
