Exploring urban gardens in France and Italy as spaces of citizen participation, and food systems globally to study transformations and collective practices.

About me
I am working on urban gardens in France (Paris and Strasbourg) and in Italy (Rome and Bologna) as places of citizen/inhabitant participation, exploring the dynamics at work in the public space, and how the questions of the commons as a vision and/or praxis is shaped in these experiences. I also explore the potentiality of urban informality in creating new ways of planning the city.
In my later work, I broadened my focus to include food systems on a more global scale, in order to observe the transformations taking place at different levels and the contribution of the various players (farmers, citizens, businesses, local authorities, etc.) to these changes.
