URBAN OASIS | Jessica Jungbauer

Just how important parks and green spaces are is particularly obvious in today’s world. The Climate crisis, sustainable urban planning, and the viability of urban living spaces for the future are topics that hardly anyone is impervious to.

In this book, Jessica Jungbauer pays tribute to modern-day oases that are meeting these challenges. She takes a highly diverse approach, looking at the agricultural use of rooftops just as she does at the revegetation of former industrial sites and the restoration of landmarked parks.

New York’s High Line, Paris’s Plein Air organic flower farm, and Berlin’s Neo-Baroque Körnerpark—the inspiring projects showcased in this stunning book inspire hope for a better urban way of life.

Jessica Jungbauer is a freelance journalist and photographer focusing on food, travel, and sustainability.
