Public Gardens and Livable Cities changes the paradigm for how we
conceive of the role of urban public gardens. Donald A. Rakow,
Meghan Z. Gough, and Sharon A. Lee advocate for public gardens as
community outreach agents that can, and should, partner with local
organizations to support positive local agendas. Safe
neighborhoods, quality science education, access to fresh and
healthy foods, substantial training opportunities, and
environmental health are the key initiative areas the authors
explore as they highlight model successes and instructive failures
that can guide future practices. Public Gardens and Livable Cities
uses a prescriptive approach to synthesize a range of public,
private, and nonprofit initiatives from municipalities throughout
the country. In doing so, the authors examine the initiatives from
a practical perspective to identify how they were implemented,
their sustainability, the obstacles they encountered, the impact of
the initiatives on their populations, and how they dealt with the
communities' underlying social problems. By emphasizing the
knowledge and skills that public gardens can bring to partnerships
seeking to improve the quality of life in cities, this book offers
a deeper understanding of the urban public garden as a key resource
for sustainable community development.
