- Green projects for a sustainable urban future is a current topic in
times of climate change and constantly growing cities- The only
illustrated book that combines relevant greening projects and inspiring
city park impressions- With texts by travel and sustainability
journalist Jessica JungbauerIt's probably not just since the pandemic
that city dwellers have realized what a luxury a park nearby is. When
you're not allowed more than a few hundred meters from your own home,
the smallest green space becomes a paradise. But climate change is
threatening these idyllic places in the middle of the noisy,
particularly-polluted big city. Innovative projects and forward-thinking
urban planners are seeking to remedy the situation in order to equip
growing cities for the future and make them liveable. Urban Oasis is
devoted to 20 green projects for better city life, covering topics such
as the slow flower movement, the agricultural use of urban roofs, the
greening of former industrial sites and the restoration of listed parks.
From New York's High Line to Paris's Plein air organic flower farm to
Berlin's neo-baroque Körnerpark, the parks and projects featured in this
visually stunning book are all inspiring.Text in English and German.
