社区花园的发展已成为许多关于其在当代城市社区赋权中的作用的学术争论的根源。在本文中，我们以格拉斯哥的园艺作为案例研究，重点关注社区花园中正在进行的工作。我们认为，虽然社区园艺不能脱离新自由主义紧缩政策所伴随的更为倒退的潜在经济和社会进程，但它确实为满足社会需求和促进社区赋权的重要工作形式提供了空间。在阐述这一论点时，我们使用了最近的地理学学术成果，涉及地点在将个人和社区聚集到新的集体工作形式中的生成作用。社区花园是促进个人能动性的恢复、新的知识和参与形式的构建以及反思性和主动性社区更新的地方，为在城市中建立更先进的工作形式提供更广泛的经验教训。
The growth of community gardens has become the source of much academic debate regarding their role in community empowerment in the contemporary city. In this article, we focus upon the work being done in community gardens, using gardening in Glasgow as a case study. We argue that while community gardening cannot be divorced from more regressive underlying economic and social processes accompanying neoliberal austerity policies, it does provide space for important forms of work that address social needs and advance community empowerment. In developing this argument we use recent geographical scholarship concerning the generative role of place in bringing together individuals and communities in new collective forms of working. Community gardens are places that facilitate the recovery of individual agency, construction of new forms of knowledge and participation, and renewal of reflexive and proactive communities that provide broader lessons for building more progressive forms of work in cities.
