The green (r)evolution

The image of the city is changing. The urban space is going through a mayor transformation. And the way in which we perceive and use the city is changing too. We recognize how the city changes in ways that imitate natural landscape patterns more than actual build structures. The city is going green. Moving through the streets of megacities like New York City for instance which we normally recognize for its iconic skyline and high-speed expansion, we now register the solid structures change. The concrete jungle is transforming into living green.

Miniature versions of Eden’s Garden; fruit trees; flowers; and wild grasses grow in between the bricked building envelopes where you least expect it. From street level to mile high rooftop terraces all kinds of aromatic herbs, sweet berries, vegetables and colorful flowers grow. It really doesn’t matter whether you live in New York City, London, Copenhagen or Berlin – the green (r)evolution has begun.

The execution of urban gardening takes place at all levels, scales and spans of the city - from sidewalk to rooftop - vertically and horizontally. You can easily grow herbs and flowers even small trees in small boxes hanging from your window or in pots situated on the walkway. Lets bridge the gap between nature and culture. Lets support pioneering initiatives as well as professionals in the field of urban gardening, urban farming and landscape urbanism all aiming to blur the edge between ‘city as architecture’ and ‘city as landscape’.
