Christina Rosan and Hamil Pearsallâs intriguing and illuminating case study of Philadelphia reveals how growing in the city has become a symbol of urban economic revitalization, sustainability, and â increasingly â gentrification. Their comprehensive research includes interviews with urban farmers, gardeners, and city officials, and reveals that the transition to âsustainabilityâ is marked by a series of tensions along race, class, and generational lines. The book evaluates the role of urban agriculture in sustainability planning and policy by placing it within the context of a large city struggling to manage competing sustainability objectives. They highlight the challenges and opportunities of institutionalizing urban agriculture into formal city policy. Rosan and Pearsall tell the story of change and growing pains as a city attempts to reinvent itself as sustainable, livable, and economically competitive.--AMAZON 650 0 $a Urban agriculture. 650 0 $a Urban agriculture $z Philadelphia $z Philadelphia $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Sustainable agriculture. 650 0 $a Sustainable agriculture $z Philadelphia $z Philadelphia $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Sustainable urban development. 650 0 $a Sustainable urban development $z Philadelphia $z Philadelphia $v Case studies. 650 7 $a Sustainable agriculture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01139712 650 7 $a Sustainable urban development. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01744955 650 7 $a Urban agriculture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01162356 651 7 $a Pennsylvania $z Philadelphia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204170 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 700 1 $a Pearsall, Hamil, $e author. 830 0 $a UTP insights. 941 $a 3 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214025230.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508022601.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190502024515.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8930CDD4961911E8A89F3E0097128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
