Author: Carolin Mees (ed.)This book explores the role of add-ons in urban open spaces: specific components for the cultivation of food, water, energy, and material production, as w ell as for economic and social resources. Questioning how these added elements create more resilient and sustainable places, this title provides the work of international experts to determine the connections residents develop with their surrounding urban environments.Commonly used and designed open spaces are anchor points in the city and a possible response to the consequences of urbanisation and climate change, as well as to the presence of social and cultural differences. Scientific texts and opinion papers of international experts provide a unique interdisciplinary discourse depicting the diversity of add-ons from a range of micro- and macro-perspectives, and offering strategies for collaborative, multi-coded urban spaces at the intersection of architecture and open space planning.ISBN 9783868597035.
