From Exeter to London
By Miranda Kincade
Research comparisons:
The last few weeks we have spent in England. For a while we were in Exeter, then we moved to Bristol and then finally we ended up in London. That was an amazing experience. The contrast of English priorities as discovered by our research is quite different than Danish priorities. We discovered that the Danes have community gardens more for the social connections as well as the enjoyment of being in a green space. The English on the other hand have a strong history of food producing allotments and that is the main function of their urban agriculture. Both ideals increase resilience of the cities as well as the citizens.
