Parks, gardens, trees, and other plants are an integral part of the urban environment. Often the focal points of social movements and political interests, green spaces represent far more than simply an effort to balance the man-made with the natural. A city's history with--and approach to--its parks and gardens reveals much about its workings and the forces acting upon it. Our green spaces offer a unique and valuable window on the history of city life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essays in \u003ci\u003eGreening the City\u003c\/i\u003e span over a century of urban history, moving from fin-de-si cle Sofia to green efforts in urban Seattle. The authors present a wide array of cases that speak to global concerns through the local and specific, with topics that include green-space planning in Barcelona and Mexico City, the distinction between public and private nature in Los Angeles, the ecological diversity of West Berlin, and the historical and cultural significance of hybrid spaces designed for sports. The essays collected here will make us think differently about how we study cities, as well as how we live in them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eContributors\u003c\/i\u003e Dorothee Brantz, Technische Universit t Berlin * Peter Clark, University of Helsinki * Lawrence Culver, Utah State University * Konstanze Sylva Domhardt, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich * Sonja D mpelmann, University of Maryland * Zachary J.
