Understanding Property-Associated Urban Greening: Insights from Urban Political Ecology

Abstract

This article explores the complex interplay between property politics and urban greening interventions, emphasizing their iterative and metabolic relationships. Using bibliographic co-occurrence and content analysis, the study identifies seven key analytic dimensions of “property-associated urban greening”: pro-development greenspace, greenspace under local politics, suburban/exurban greening, nonhuman agency in greening, post-industrial landscapes, green infrastructure, and abolitionist greenspace. Urban political ecology is proposed as a critical framework to bridge the fields of property and environmental planning. By tracing how greening is shaped by and shapes land development, this article advances an interdisciplinary dialogue on the socio-ecological dimensions of urban transformation.
