Added to my summer reading stack: ‘Urban Gardening and the Struggle for Social and Spatial Justice’, edited by Chiara Certoma, Susan Noori and Dr.-Ing. Martin Sondermann (Manchester University Press)
I am really looking forward to this read as I continue to develop knowledge and understanding of the role of gardening in the context of several dimensions of urban resilience including (but not limited to) social, ecological, and environmental.
I’m eager to build this knowledge not only as a cerebral activity but to connect to my own developing gardening practice, which I hope, over the coming years, to continue to develop as an individual and also community practice, with some vision of also integrating such activities into future multidisciplinary urban lab and workshop approaches.
Issues of equity and justice as related to urban gardening are also key, so this book is very welcome in my library. I look forward to sharing thoughts as I read.
