Joseph Stanhope Cialdella argues that generations of residents and communities in the region turned to these outdoor spaces to relieve problems created by the city's industrial rise and decline, racial segregation, and economic inequality. As Detroit continues toward a green future, \u003ci\u003eMotor City Green\u003c\/i\u003e looks to the past to demonstrate how the city's urban gardens of today evolved from, but are also distinct from, the urban green spaces that came before them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Stanhope Cialdella\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822968088\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822968085\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/17\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Joseph Stanhope Cialdella","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450352382207,"sku":"9780822968085","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3f4d8b5b-4bb1-40d1-b484-53a2fff9c552.jpg?v=1777267297","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/motor-city-green-joseph-stanhope-cialdella-9780822968085","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
