- At 90,000 words, this sole-authored book published by Bloomsbury makes the first comprehensive analysis of the ‘green wedge’ concept (pp. 1-304) and presents 7 chapters with introduction and conclusion. It accumulates 7 years of research activities and is informed by archival research (London’s National and Metropolitan Archives, RIBA Library, British National Library), field visits to multiple European cities (London, Harlow, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Milan and Hamburg) and interviews with ‘green wedge’ planning and implementation officials. The book analyses contemporary uses of ‘green wedge’ in city/regional planning and investigates how it can aid cities/regions in sustainability and resilience.
