Urban GArdens for the Social INtegration of Migrants

Abstract

This work has been co-funded by the Erasmus+ program of the European Union. The twelve-authored project report book is edited by Meike Rombach (TUM), Vivienne Whitaker (SF&G), and Iacopo Benedetti (OnP). In the study, immigrant communities, their social participation and education opportunities in intercultural urban gardens in five European countries (Germany, Spain, Austria, Sweden, England) and the effect of those gardens on immigrants were examined. A mixed research approach was applied, combining qualitative and quantitative methods where both survey and interview techniques were used. This book review, where the study is summarized, will continue with the assessment of the project and its applicability to Turkey.
