This book asserts that post-industrial urban greenspaces are contested places where different individuals, groups, plants and animals negotiate power and presence. While the most powerful and dominant typically prevail, there are also instances where marginalized groups are able to outcompete and assert their existence in novel and creative ways. This book was published as a special issue of Local Environment.
