RE: (no subject)/Urban Empty LOt Policy

H* A*

Jack,

1) This link from the American Community Gardening Association Master
Gardener's list server was originally compiled by Lenny Librizzi and
formatted by Anna Wasecha. 
http://hort.net/lists/community_garden/jan01/msg00096.html

2) There is a magisterial article in Vol. 3/ 1999-2000/ Number 2 of the New
York University Journal of Legislation and Public Policy (by University of
Baltimore Law School  Professor Jane E. Schokose) entitled, "Community
Development Through Gardening: State and Local Policies Transforming Urban
Open Space." You may be able to get a copy of the article by writing to the
University of Baltimore law school library or access it through a good
research library near you. 

The ACGA has been very active in promoting community gardens in many US
municipalities, nation-wide, advocating their definition as an accepted Land
Use. This is has been an uphill struggle. At some point, all serious
community gardeners and open space advocates should consider joining the
ACGA; http://www.communitygarden.org/

Happy gardening,
Adam Honigman
