abstract: For generations green spaces have been part of the consideration in the planning of urban areas. This has traditionally been the responsibility of those that plan the city or that of individuals on their private property. This thesis looks beyond the traditional approach to incorporating green space in the urban landscape and rather looks at the transformation made possible by the socio-ecological practices of guerrilla gardening and urban gardening as well as why and how people get involved in urban greening in the cities of Groningen and London. Green space is only a part of the ever changing, organic entity which is the city and by exploring urban transformation through socio-ecological practices we can come to a better understanding of the urban dynamics significant to contemporary planning.
