The book focuses primarily on the history of gardens and parks in the city of Detroit and its suburbs in southeast Michigan. Cialdella argues Detroit residents used green space to address problems created by the city's industrial rise and decline, and racial segregation and economic inequality. As the city's social landscape became increasingly uncontrollable, Detroiters turned to parks, gardens, yards, and other outdoor spaces to relieve the negative social and environmental consequences of industrial capitalism. Motor City Green looks to the past to demonstrate how today's urban gardens in Detroit evolved from, but are also distinct from, other urban gardens and green spaces in the city's past"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Urban landscape architecture $z Detroit $z Detroit $x History. 650 0 $a Urban parks $z Detroit $z Detroit $x History. 650 0 $a Urban gardens $z Detroit $z Detroit $x History. 650 0 $a Urban renewal $z Detroit $z Detroit $x History. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240403011631.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=53A48B828E9811EAB83BD64B97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
