Organised in three parts—Discourse, Process, and Engagement—the book ranges from theory to field practice. Essays examine self-build housing manuals in Mexico; tactics of market curation and participation; artistic interventions in Chinatown; gardening as reparative practice; mud and ruins as co-authors of landscape; sidewalk vernaculars; and maintenance as creative care. Engagement chapters consider sanitation knowledge transfer in Haiti, solidarity clinics in Athens, civic commons on private parking lots (plazaPOPS), and Taipei’s Nanji Rice as commoning infrastructure. Together, these chapters foreground situated knowledge, minor tactics, and claims to spatial agency.
This book is written for scholars, practitioners, and advanced students in landscape architecture, urban design and planning, architecture, geography, and visual culture, as well as civic leaders, NGOs, and community organisers seeking low-cost, high-impact approaches to equitable place-making.
Liska Chan is an Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture at the University of Oregon. Her research explores the invisible forces that shape landscapes—ecological, cultural, and historical—through critical cartography, sensory practice, and vernacular adaptation. Chan’s work includes writing, land art, and collaborative projects that interrogate perception, spatial justice, and environmental change. Elizabeth Stapleton is a designer, scholar, and educator whose work focuses on engaging underrepresented communities in public landscapes. With a background in ecology, her interdisciplinary work explores urban landscapes as social-ecological systems. Her years of experience on applied, community-focused parks planning projects informs and inspires her academic practice.
