Live aus dem Gartensaal: How Green Became Good
Based on a historical study of Germany’s Ruhr Valley, a polycentric industrial region that has been recurrently “greened” despite its ample open space, this talk offers a sociological explanation of urban greening as a global, contemporary phenomenon. It argues that greening is a social practice made possible by a social imaginary of nature as an indirect or moral good, called urbanized nature; that urban processes, rather than city form, explain greening’s appearance; and that contemporary greening is best understood as fundamentally continuous with past practices. It then highlights the same logics of urban nature at work in contemporary climate adaptation and mitigation efforts in the United States, and explores their consequences, particularly regarding conceptions of climate justice and equity.

Hillary Angelo, University of California Santa Cruz
