Abstract :
The redefinition of European cities has created new opportunities for the greening of public urban spaces. Lucy Bullivant describes how three young practices in particular - West 8, Gross.Max and Mosbach Paysagistes - are leading the way with their highly dynamic and inventive narrative approaches to history, culture and the emergent city.
