The research film „Urban Green” is part of an academic research project on community engagement and place-making processes in public urban spaces. The film portrays the meanings of community garden projects perceived by the involved participants and organizers. It shows why they engage in the creation of green community spaces through appropriating urban spaces and grassroots activity.
