Abstract
This study is embedded in the framework of urban food system research. Urban food systems are complex networks of production, distribution and consumption. They are also defined as localized food systems where producers and consumers seek alternatives from mainstream globalized food chain which dominate in developed countries (Tregear, 2011).In this paper community gardens are seen as places to practice active citizenship, considering specific areas of study in Gothenburg (Sweden) and Catania (Italy). It aims to relate spaces, practices and imaginaries of foodscapes by analyzing the genesis and the state of art in the two cities. Our research question is: to what extent is it possible to plan and organize the creativity connected to community gardening practices?| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
