Green Lungs and Green Liberty: The Modern City Park and Public Health in an Urban Metabolic Landscape
This paper explores processes of urban park creation from the mid-1800s to show how 'green lungs' and 'green liberty' shaped the health geography of the modern city.

Plotting the hi…

The Nature State: Rethinking the History of Conservation, ed. Wilko Graf von Hardenberg

Philip Dray. The Fair Chase: The Epic Story of Hunting in America
In The Fair Chase: The Epic History of Hunting in America, Philip Dray takes his reader on a breathless whistle-stop tour through the place of hunting in the American historical imagination, journeying through various terrains and elucidating an often polemic subject in a book that deftly engages in a critical interrogating of its theme in past and present. The approach here is chronological, with a veritable trophy cabinet of biographical vignet…

Across Europe and North America, elite spaces were opened to public access and new areas dedicated as 'parks for the people.' This paper offers a brief tour of green spaces across three iconic metropolitan sites - London, Paris and New York - to consider how the axioms of recreation, i…
