Spotting tensions in urban greening experiments: Insights from Barcelona

In: Conflicts in urban future-making: Governance, institutions, and transformative change, Editors: Monika Grubbauer, Alessandra Manganelli, Louis Volont

Manganelli seeks to unravel the politics of translating a transformative idea into a potentially disruptive urban intervention. Analysing Superblock and green axis ‘experiments’ in Barcelona, the author uncovers tensions around governance, participation, power, politics, and socioecological justice, showing how tensions generate constraints but also opportunities to exercise transformative action.
