About us
The project aims to address inclusivity gaps (related to, for example, ethnicity, age, gender, and accessibility) in Urban Community Gardens (UCGs), which play a key role in fostering social cohesion, improving health, and supporting sustainability. Drawing on case studies in Vancouver, the project will develop practical tools to support urban planners and policymakers in creating more inclusive and equitable green spaces that align with global sustainability goals.
