RE: Research project

H* A*

Carla,

With all due respect to the works of Jane Jacobs and William Whyte, who were
pioneering American urbanists, you need to go to the American Community
Gardening Association website and read through all of the links. You should
understand that urban community gardening is a national movement, and that
there are truly amazing topics for your research to be found in every major
city in the US, and several in Canada - Toronto and Montreal are two fine
examples. The work that has been done in suburban and semi-rural communities
in community gardening has been extremely inspiring ( the community garden
in an Arctic zone in Canada beggars description!) A search thorough the
garden links of the ACGA website should give you a sense of the diversity
that exists in our community.

The publications center should be particularly useful to you:

There is a wealth of NYC community garden information to be found on the
ACGA's mastergardeners listserve archives:

I am working on a research project on community gardens in New York. I will 
be investigating the social implications of the gardens on community and 
community relationships as well as taking a look at the movement in general.

I am investigating the work of Jane Jacobs and William Whyte. If any one has

any other suggestions about important research I should investigate, pls let

me know.

Any and all suggestions would be most welcome.
