In its own way, each essay raises the same question: What is the nature of nature in the city and how has it changed over the past century?

Parks, gardens, trees, and other plants are an integral part of the urban environment.Often the focal points of social movements and political interests, green spaces represent far more than simply an effort to balance the man-made with the natural.

Our green spaces offer a unique and valuable window on the history of city life.
