Motor City Green is a history of green spaces in metropolitan Detroit from the late nineteenth- to early twenty-first century. The book focuses primarily on the history of gardens and parks in the city of Detroit and its suburbs in southeast Michigan. Cialdella argues Detroit residents used green space to address problems created by the cityâs industrial rise and decline, and racial segregation and economic inequality. As the cityâs social landscape became increasingly uncontrollable, Detroiters turned to parks, gardens, yards, and other outdoor spaces to relieve the negative social and environmental consequences of industrial capitalism. Motor City Green looks to the past to demonstrate how todayâs urban gardens in Detroit evolved from, but are also distinct from, other urban gardens and green spaces in the cityâs past.   Less
