The book investigates the development of community gardens with self-built structures, which have existed as a shared public open space land use form in New York City's low-come neighborhoods like the South Bronx since the 1970s. These gardens have continued to be part of the urban landscape until today, despite conflicting land use interests, changing residents groups and contradictory city planning. Both community gardens and self-built structures are created in a participatory design and self-built effort by urban residents and are an expression of the individual gardeners' preferences, their cultural background and the decisions made by the managing residents' group in regards to the needs of their neighborhood. Ultimately community gardens with self-built structures are an expression of the people's will to commonly use this land for open and enclosed structures next to their homes in the city and need to be included in future urban planning.

Gemeinschaftlich genutzte und gestaltete Freiraume sind Ankerpunkte in der Stadt und eine moegliche Antwort auf die Folgen von Urbanisierung und Klimawandel sowie auf soziale und kulturelle Unterschiede. Das Buch untersucht die Rolle von Add-ons in urbanen Freiraumen: spezifischen Nutzungskomponenten zur Produktion von Nahrungsmitteln, Wasser, Energie und Materialien sowie von wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Ressourcen. Es fragt, inwieweit diese hinzugefugten Bestandteile urbane Raume resilienter und nachhaltiger machen koennen, indem sie auf die Bedurfnisse und Vorlieben der Nachbarschaft reagieren und mit dem umgebenden Stadtraum Verknupfungen eingehen. Wissenschaftliche Texte und Stellungnahmen internationaler Expert*innen bilden einen einzigartigen interdisziplinaren Diskurs ab, der die Vielfalt an Add-ons in unterschiedliche Mikro- und Makroperspektiven darstellt und Strategien fur kollaborative, multicodierte Stadtraume an der Schnittstelle von Architektur und Freiraumplanung aufzeigt.
