Small-scale urban greening : creating places of health, creativity, and ecological sustainability / Angela Loder. - xii, 250 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 26 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
"Small-scale urban greening projects are changing the urban landscape, shifting our experience and understanding of green spaces in our cities. This book argues that including power dynamics, symbolism, and aesthetics in our understanding of the human relationship to urban nature can help us create places that nurture ecological and human health and promote successful and equitable urban communities.
