Beschreibung
This book proposes and defends the practice of urban gardening as an ecologically and socially beneficial, culturally innovative, morally appropriate, ethically uplifting, and politically incisive way for individuals and variously networked collectives to contribute to a successful management of some defining challenges of the Anthropocene – this new epoch in which no earthly place, form, entity, process, or system escapes the reach of human activity – including urban resilience and climate change.

Provides an original contribution to environmental philosophy and urban sustainability studies Focuses on global, complex, systemic issues such as climate change in large urban contexts Presents empirical evidence in favor of the ecological and social significance of urban gardening, and philosophical arguments in support of coordinated and networked urban gardening as an “experiment in living” that is fit to the circumstances of the Anthropocene
