Opis

Drawing on qualitative and quantitative data collected in twenty-nine European cities from all four European geographic regions, this book examines the governance of urban green spaces and urban food production, focussing on the contribution of citizen-driven activities. Over the course of the book, Schicklinski identifies best practice examples of successful collaboration between citizens and local government. The book concludes with policy recommendations with great practical value for local governance in European cities in times of growth.
