Więcej o książce

The book explores the evolution and significance of urban green spaces, revealing their role in social improvement as perceived by city planners. Focusing on Germany's Ruhr valley, it examines three pivotal historical moments—industrialization, the democratic ideals of the 1960s, and industrial decline in the 1990s—that spurred the development of parks and gardens. Angelo argues that the creation of these spaces reflects societal aspirations rather than solely environmental benefits, emphasizing a belief in their transformative power for citizens and society.
