Deep in the heart of Texas: analyzing spatial contestation using perspectives on urban farming in Austin

Urban Farm DB summary

This thesis analyzes spatial contestation in Austin, Texas, by examining perspectives on urban farming. It applies Henri Lefebvre's spatial theories, which classify space production as a continuous process of social development involving material and mental space. The study explores how urban pride and community bonds, fostered by amenities like urban farms, contribute to residents' desire to stay in the city and their sense of ownership.
