Although urban allotment gardening dates back to the nineteenth century, it has recently undergone a renaissance of interest and popularity. This is the result of greater concern over urban greenspace, food security and quality of life. This book presents a comprehensive, research-based overview of the various features, benefits and values associated with urban allotment gardening in Europe.The book is based on a European COST Action project, which brings together researchers and practitioners from all over Europe for the first detailed exploration of the subject on a continent-wide scale. It assesses the policy, planning and design aspects, as well as the social and ecological benefits of urban allotment gardening. Through an examination of the wide range of different traditions and practices across Europe, it brings together the most recent research to discuss the latest evolutions of urban allotment gardening and to help raise awareness and fill knowledge gaps.The book provides a multidisciplinary perspective, including insights from horticulture and soil science, ecology, sociology, urban geography, landscape, planning and design. The themes are underpinned by case studies from a number of European countries which supply a wide range of examples to illustrate different key issues.

This edition of the book 'Urban green-blue grids for sustainable and dynamic cities' is a revised and updated reprint of the handbook by Hiltrud Pötz en Pierre Bleuzé. 'Urban green-blue grids for sustainable and dynamic cities' is a visionary, practical and inspiring book for education and practice. Useful for developers, urban planners, landscape architects, ecologists, civil engineers and all those interested in making cities more sustainable and liveable. Half of the earths’ inhabitants live in cities, and urbanisation is only increasing. The quality of our future thus depends on the quality of our cities. Our challenge is to keep our cities and our planet liveable, safe, healthy and attractive throughout this century. Due to climate change, increasing urbanisation and the depletion of fossil fuels, cities will need to undergo a more or less gradual transition from being primarily consumers of food toward producing their own. One attractive and efficient way to guide this necessary transformation is by developing green-blue urban grids that will mitigate the effects of climate change and the energy and food shortages in urban areas. Our cities need to become more resilient to be able to tackle these challenges, as a lack of resilience will not only lead to a deficiency in technical infrastructural functioning but will also have consequences for a city’s social and economic well-being. Furthermore, green-blue urban planning will offer more room for the development of biodiversity and a healthier, more attractive living environment. This book shows the principles of sustainable urban planning and many substantial measures. About forty realized and international example projects in green-blue and sustainable urban planning demonstrate the feasibility of the principles and measures.

SAMENVATTING: "Uitzicht op beton, uitdijende voorsteden, mensen die steeds dichter op elkaar wonen: nooit eerder hadden we meer behoefte aan groen in de stad. De kleine parken, verticale begroeiing of daktuin die je af en toe tegenkomt, zijn niet voldoende. In dit boek vind je honderd projecten uit de hele wereld - sommige al helemaal aangelegd, andere nog onder constructie - en ook bijzondere plannen voor de toekomst. Dit boek biedt inspiratie voor toepassing op nieuwe en aanpassing van al bestaande gebouwen. Zo zijn er kantoren die stedelijke boerderijen herbergen waar de CO2-uitstoot van mensen omgezet wordt in zuurstof geproduceerd door planten. Ook is er aandacht voor lichtgewicht systemen om planten op verticale oppervlaktes te laten groeien, voor 'boomhuizen' ter grootte van een heel stadsblok en nog veel meer. De groene stad belicht de steeds inventievere ideeën van architecten en designers om de natuur in ons stadsleven de rol te geven die het verdient. Zo verandert de stad stukje bij beetje steeds meer op een positieve manier." Beschrijving in tekst en vooral beeld van futoristische groenontwerpen in de stedelijke architectuur.

Roadside "weeds" and other routinely overlooked aspects to urban nature provide a fascinating glimpse into complex global ecologies and new cultures of nature emerging across the world. This unique collection of essays explores the botanical dimensions of urban space, ranging from scientific efforts to understand the distinctive dynamics of urban flora to the way spontaneous vegetation has inspired artists and writers.The book comprises five thematic sections: "Histories and taxonomies," "Botanizing the asphalt," "The art of urban flora," "Experiments in non-design," and "Cartographic imaginations". The essays explore developments in Berlin, London, Lahore, Tokyo, and many other cities, as well as more philosophical reflections on the meaning of urban nature under the putative shift to the Anthropocene.
