Talk:Planting Design 2013 - Working Group 14

Our group found case study B and D as the most interesting ones. The reasons are different because the case studies are different in terms of their context. Case study B, Energy garden Concept reffers on how to use renegerative energies in hormony with the environement. The most important issue that the project rises is the understanding the need to deveope clean energies but respecting and protecting more the nature and the land we live in. Case study D, Garden of Dreams is about the contemporary problem of growth population and how the main objectives become on developing housing building but disregarding the public and green space. The attept to rehabilitate a historical heritage and the public space should be one of the most important strategies on cityscaping. Reclaiming the lost public spaces to new pocket green spaces shows a very good example of the tendency a city should develope towards. There are more similarities despite the different scale of the case studies. Case A and Case B focus on human activities, Case C and D focuses on restoration of the nature in high density areas and wastelands. 3 out of the 4 case studies shows that the food system is an important asptect of urban and landscape planning.

We have a question for Apekshya Dhungel of Case Study D: The possible places for planting design seem too large to be pocket green space. Then what is your strategy for pocket green space? What kind of space can be reconstructed into pocket park? Will there be any obstacle on this way?
