The long-term development of public green spaces such as parks,
public gardens, and recreation grounds in London during the
twentieth century is a curiously neglected subject, despite the
fact that various kinds of green spaces cover huge areas in cities
in the UK today. This book explores how and why public green spaces
have been created and used in London, and what actors have been
involved in their evolution, during the course of the twentieth
century. Building on case studies of the contemporary boroughs of
Camden and Southwark and making use of a wealth of archival
material, the author takes us through the planning and creation
stages, to the intended (and actual) uses and ongoing management of
the spaces. By highlighting the rise and fall of municipal
authorities and the impact of neo-liberalism after the 1970s, the
book also deepens our understanding of how London has been
governed, planned and ruled during the twentieth century. It makes
a crucial contribution to academic as well as political discourse
on the history and present role of green space in sustainable
cities.
