Protecting urban greenspace: Policies, programs and partnerships
Abstract
Community-based approaches to
naturalizing urban landscapes represent a rapidly
growing movement in Canada and around the
world. In cities large and small, community groups
are seizing opportunities to restore their local
environment. And it's not just occurring in parks:
Spaces such as rooftops, alleyways, utility corridors
and even street planters are sites of creative urban
greening projects.
