Summary:
This collection brings a unified focus to new research that is expanding the boundaries of our understanding of people's relationship to their built and 'natural' environments. 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? Together, these essays open a new frontier of scholarship."Greening the City" has the potential of rising to a level of seminal influence. The modern city is not only pavement and concrete. 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. A city's history with - and approach to - its parks and gardens reveals much about its workings and the forces acting upon it. Our green spaces offer a unique and valuable window on the history of city life.

This edition is the result of a strange detective story, initiated by photographer Michel Campeau. While clearing out his mother s house, Campeau discovered a strange image amongst her possessions: a piglet in a restaurant, being fed milk by a customer.
