Green Spaces in the European City: 1750-2010 follows on the successful publication of European City and Green Space: London, Stockholm, Helsinki and St Petersburg (2006) and Sport, Recreation and Green Space in the European City (2009). Richly illustrated with many useful plates and figures, the essays touch upon a wide variety of subjects, including green spaces, recreation, private gardens, allotments, green activism, immigrants, and women planners. Geographically expansive, this new book ranges over Paris, London, Helsinki, Dublin, Berlin, Antwerp, Zagreb, and cities in Sweden. Concluding chapters examine green space in a globalizing world and transnational/local issues. Each essay offers a fresh approach to a central topic influencing urban growth and development in Europe and beyond.Martin V. Melosi, author of The Sanitary City, University of Texas, USA
