Did I mention that the National Taiwan University library has a fantastic selection of books on cities in Asia?

Instead of football fans, it is butterflies, plants and gardeners who now inhabit the former EXPO stadium in #Taipei.
One more week of community gardening fieldwork to go:

CASIE arrives to #Taipei!
Although shorter than the fieldwork in #Singapore or #Seoul, the visit will hopefully provide new insights into community gardening as form of social innovation and its impact on neighbourhood resilience.

Jan will present our study on social innovation in participatory climate governance in Singapore at the Pacific Rim Community Design Network conference.

The study also shows that participatory environmental education, together with urban greening, placemaking, and recycling, is an important part of community climate action that contributes to more resilient and sustainable local communities and cities.

Our study shows that social learning and social innovation can make an important contribution to successful participatory environmental education.

Interestingly, most of Korean gardeners have experienced agriculture in their youth. Most of our Singaporean participants have not. This small difference seems to have a big impact on urban gardening in both societies.

More community gardening fieldwork in #Korea. Last week in heavy rain; this time sweating on 36C.🥵
Huimang Community Garden in #Incheon is another good example of how urban agriculture can sustain community capacity building.

Claiming ownership of streets as walkable, temporary, communal space can empower communities to collectively reshape their neighbourhoods. Reclaiming streets is essential to build resilient cities.
