"The urban oasis is becoming increasingly prized for its therapeutics and relaxing qualities, as we rush home after a busy day's work. But there is much to know about how to make the most of any small plot, how to overcome the problems common to all city gardeners and what on earth to grow to achieve the effect you want. Here Ann-Marie Powell inspires and guides us with a collection of some of her best gardens to date, ranging from a courtyard, a family garden and even a secret urban jungle. She presents ideas and low maintenance tips for a variety of sites and conditions, looking at problems and sharing solutions to help create the perfect urban garden. Each garden is presented with design notes, a detailed drawn plan, a discussion of any special features and additional ideas that can be incorporated anywhere. Specially commissioned photographs provide a visual tour of the finished gardens and a selection of the plants needed to achieve the style and effects are provided with individual plant portraits. A season-by-season maintenance guide will help to keep your garden in peak condition, while a helpful list of suppliers gives leads on sourcing materials used in the designs."--Cover.

Showcasing projects and designers from around the world who are forging new paths to the sustainable city through urban agriculture landscapes, it creates a dialogue on the ways to invite food back into the city and pave a path to healthier communities and environments.

Garden designer, lecturer and broadcaster Matt James explores how to design an urban outdoor space, no matter the size or location - from balconies and roof terraces to courtyards, basement areas and front gardens, factoring in areas for relaxation, play and growing your own produce. There are 16 step-by-step projects including creating a 'living' green wall, planting under mature trees and making a gravel garden and 13 case studies showing great design in action, with examples from Tom Stuart-Smith, Charlotte Rowe and Christopher Bradley-Hole. Award-winning photographer Marianne Majerus provides the visual inspiration.

Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Landscape Management, grade: 1,3, , course: City Planning, language: English, abstract: In modern times society in most U.S. cities changed to “bedroom communities” where people stay home, watch television and forget how to live in the cultural, urban or even village sense. At the same time, however, issues such as global warming and sustainability gained attention, which led to the re-emergence of a movement within the city: Community Gardening. The question to be answered is if Community Gardens/Urban Gardens (CG) are planned as a means to other objectives or an end in itself. If it is a means to other ends, the CG is only beneficial until the other aim is achieved. If not, the gardens serve a greater use than only to overcome crisis. This in turn would be an indicator that CG should be more recognized as a city-planning tool instead of decrease in times of peace and wealth. In order to find out what role CG play in today’s urban planning and how it can contribute to improve urban conditions, I first have to illuminate the current problems in today’s cities. After having a general overview on the present urban conditions I than focus on the historical and current development of CG in general and in particular in the United States (U.S.). Later I take a closer look on the general objectives behind the emergence of urban garden movements and the benefits that they contained in the past and present. Looking at recent prime examples of urban gardens in Berlin and San Diego will shed light on the goals behind and particular the benefits CG have on today’s urban environments, communities and its residents. In the end I’ll give some recommendations on how CG should be implemented in the field of city planning to improve the described urban conditions.
