What Urban Planners Can Learn From Skaters and Itinerant Marching Bands

Tosha Caston-Smith shared with you:   What Urban Planners Can Learn From Skaters and Itinerant Marching Bands nextcity.org - Mr. Robinson showed me the way he likes to plant his crops. "In a straight line, so we can stay organized and grow as much food for the neighborhood as possible." I had just moved to Brooklyn, and was taking a tour of the community garden down the block that neighbors had founded on an abandoned lot over 40 years ago. Mr. Robinson and the other self-appointed heads of the garden managed the members' dues and distributed keys, and often opened the garden up to BBQs, parties and art shows for neighbors. I was asked to always leave the door open when I was gardening, so that anyone could come by and enjoy this handmade, unsanctioned respite from the city. Available on the App Store.
