Abstract
Around the world, Pocket Parks are taking root in many forms, functions and
collaborations. This guide offers a perspective on these small but powerful
spaces showcasing how cities are reshaping streets, courtyards and
forgotten corners into high-impact green spaces such as gardens, rest
stops, small-scale forests, playgrounds and so much more.
The transformation of these spaces are not just limited to their small
footprints. When done thoughtfully, Pocket Parks can be scaled into a
network of green infrastructure across cities that strengthen climate
response, build resilience and improve wellbeing.
