The Centre for Interdisciplinary Research on Montreal (CIRM)'s digital notebooks are communication and research dissemination tools intended for the general public as well as researchers and practitioners.
CIRM is pleased to launch this publication series by looking back on the conference-experience DIY Urbanism, with Gordon Douglas (San José State U.). In his text entitled “The Vitality of Participatory Urbanisms, and Some Cautions,” the visiting researcher offers an interdisciplinary perspective on urban agriculture issues, and the inequality that inhabits initiatives of “do-it-yourself” urbanism. This digital notebook further includes an analysis of urban agriculture by Athanasios Tommy Mihou (Paysage solidaire), and a foreword by Jan Doering (CIRM / McGill U.).
