Pathways towards equity: Solutions-focused workshops with urban greening professionals
Urban green governance refers to the complex network of actors working across sectors to manage urban vegetation. While recent research has identified barriers to addressing green space inequities, there has been much less focus on how these barriers interact as self-reinforcing systems or on potential solutions. This study explores how urban greening professionals understand and operationalize pathways toward more equitable governance, applying …
Learning on the Go: Experiences Researching Urban Stewardship Practices Through Walking Interview
The following paper offers an in-depth, experiential analysis of the walking interview, applied within a participatory action research context. I share both reflection and critique, analyzing my experience conducting two walking interviews with stewards of urban green spaces in Vancouver, Canada and Medellín, Colombia that explored practices of care in urban nature as well as relationships to local urban ecologies. Discussion is oriented towards …
Greening the gentrification process: Insights and engagements from practitioners
Green gentrification implicates urban greening as a driver of neighbourhood 'upgrading' and subsequent displacement. However, it is unclear whether the concept resonates with, or supports the work of, those responsible for much of the greening occurring in cities - urban green planners/practitioners. We interviewed 33 planners/practitioners in Canada to refine our understanding of the relationships between urban greening and gentrification. We fo…
Expelled from the garden? Understanding the dynamics of green gentrification in Vancouver, British Columbia
There is substantial evidence detailing the ecological and social benefits provided through urban greening. However, research in the field of urban green equity has revealed that these benefits are not enjoyed equitably by all residents; existing disparities in the distribution, accessibility, and experience of urban greening disproportionately affect historically marginalized communities and residents. Furthermore, green gentrification scholarsh…
Improvement, not displacement: A framework for urban green gentrification research and practice
As researchers have continued to expand the bounds of green gentrification scholarship, understanding of what green gentrification is and how to identify the phenomenon on the ground has grown obscured. In an attempt to bring clarity to this conversation, our research presents an urban green gentrification framework, based on findings from a scoping review and dimensional analysis conducted across green gentrification, urban greening, and related…
The Power behind Peronism
Charles II, a royal martyr
Charles 1 of England is usually referred to as the ‘Royal Martyr’. He died for his religious and political principles. However, his son Charles II has an equally good claim to the same title since his death was probably due to his devotion to science. Charles II ascended to the throne in 1660. In the same year he granted a charter to the Royal Society of London under whose auspices experimental science became the popular rage. Many a perfumed dan…
