Summary:

"This enlightening book explores how cities can be managed to work with nature and build resilience in a time of rapid environmental and social change. Anna Brdulak proposes that urban green spaces are key settings for public authorities, private actors and communities to cooperate, negotiate and learn, in turn increasing capacity to adapt and respond creatively to uncertainty. Rather than treating resilience as a uniform paradigm, Brdulak explores its plurality, demonstrating how diverse pathways strengthen urban resilience in context-specific situations. Chapters draw on rich qualitative research to illustrate how different cultures of governance shape the ways urban green spaces are designed, managed and used. By applying management theory to urban governance, this book adopts a novel perspective on organising cross-sector collaboration for greener, fairer and more adaptable urban futures. Accessible and illuminating, Managing Urban Green Spaces for Resilience is an excellent resource for scholars and students of urban environmental governance, planning and public management. City managers and public policymakers will likewise benefit from its practical and strategic approach to supporting green transformation"-- Provided by publisher.
