Centered on the 2007 initiative PlaNYC, this account tracks the development of policies that increased sustainability efforts in the city and dedicated more than 00 million dollars to trees via the MillionTreesNYC campaign. Lindsay K. Campbell uses PlaNYC to consider how and why nature is constructed in New York City. Campbell regards sustainability planning as a process that unfolds through the strategic interplay of actors, the deployment of different narrative frames, and the mobilizing and manipulation of the physical environment, which affects nonhuman animals and plants as well as the city's residents.Campbell zeroes in on a core omission in PlaNYC's original conception and funding: Despite NYC having a long tradition of community gardening, particularly since the fiscal crisis of the 1970s, the plan contained no mention of community gardens or urban farms. Campbell charts the change of course that resulted from burgeoning public interest in urban agriculture and local food systems. She shows how civic groups and elected officials crafted a series of visions and plans for local food systems that informed the 2011 update to PlaNYC. City of Forests, City of Farms is a valuable tool that allows us to understand and disentangle the political decisions, popular narratives, and physical practices that shape city greening in New York City and elsewhere.Human ecologyNew York (State)New YorkUrban forestryNew York (State)New YorkUrban agricultureNew York (State)New YorkUrban ecology (Biology)New York (State)New YorkGreen movementNew York (State)New YorkSustainable livingNew York (State)New YorkLand use, UrbanEnvironmental aspectsNew York (State)New YorkCity planningEnvironmental aspectsNew York (State)New YorkEnvironmental policyNew York (State)New YorkHuman ecologyUrban forestryUrban agricultureUrban ecology (Biology)Green movementSustainable livingLand use, UrbanEnvironmental aspectsCity planningEnvironmental aspectsEnvironmental policy333.77Campbell Lindsay K.1103539MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910794982503321City of forests, city of farms3755895UNINA
