• Resumen

  • As this collection’s introduction highlights, heavy expectations are placed on urban gardens’ ability to advance social and spatial justice. Community is central to these: as outcomes of garden practices, it is taken as evidence of social inclusion as people form relationships of trust and mutual-dependence. As both mode of garden activity and mechanism of its achievements, community is seen to represent an inclusive approach to addressing injustice, hence much attention to whether urban gardens form communities.
