Landscape urbanism and informal space-making: insights from a guerrilla gardening case in Montreal, Canada

Journal of Urban Design, 2020, vol. 25, issue 6, 794-811

Abstract: The present article follows the inception and the development of an unauthorized community garden that emerged out of a re-appropriated composting site in a municipal park in Montreal, Canada. The article identifies the principal reasons and mechanisms that account for how the guerrilla garden was able to remain in a high-profile location for a period of time. The article explores the intertwined combination of the guerrilla garden and the spaces it affected vis-à-vis landscape urbanism and its pursuit of a new urban development paradigm.
