Through a comparative examination of UA projects in four cities across the Americas ? Rosario, Argentina; Toronto, Canada; Medellín, Colombia; and Charlotte, USA ? the book illustrates local manifestations of the socio-ecological dimensions of the global food system, and traces theoretical and empirical explanations for the impact of global political economic structures (sustainable neoliberalism) on local efforts to promote social and environmental goals through UA. The study contributes to literature on UA, sustainability, and urban geography through examining the ability of marginalized communities to compete for land on which to grow produce in contribution to their food security, livelihoods, communities, and environments, and will be of interest to UA practitioners, students, and scholars of geography, sociology, sustainability studies, environmental studies, and food studies. This project is distinctive for its global - local orientation that uses local cases to shed light on global phenomena relating to sustainability, neoliberalism, and policy mobilities. It is also important for its qualitative approach to understanding the perceived value of UA. Throughout the research, stakeholders emphasized the qualitative values of UA (such as social integration for new immigrants) that are not easily captured in statistical representations of the economic value of a given piece of urban land. As such, this book seeks to contribute to understanding about the contributions UA makes to a city beyond the food produced, and fill gaps in literature regarding the local manifestations of global policy in UA projects seeking to address both sustainability and social justice objectives. 410 0$aHistory Series 606 $aGeography 606 $aUrban ecology (Biology) 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aEnvironmental sciences$xSocial aspects 606 $aRegional Geography 606 $aUrban Ecology 606 $aHuman Rights 606 $aEnvironmental Social Sciences 615 0$aGeography. 615 0$aUrban ecology (Biology) 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences$xSocial aspects. 615 14$aRegional Geography. 615 24$aUrban Ecology. 615 24$aHuman Rights. 615 24$aEnvironmental Social Sciences. 676 $a363.738746 676 $a630.91732 700 $aHammelman$b Colleen$01079444 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910523743603321 996 $aGreening Cities by Growing Food$92591904 997 $aUNINA
