dc.description.abstractThis article explores how bottom-up, citizen-led initiatives based on community gardening and depaving practices are transforming public space and promoting socio-ecological transition in Montreal, Canada. More specifically, the article looks at how community organisations reclaim asphalt-covered, underused, and abandoned spaces in order to create urban gardens. Drawing on the literature of the right to the city and socio-ecological transition, and based on a qualitative methodology including interviews and participatory observation, the article discusses how these initiatives contribute to the emergence of a ‘right to the ecological city’. The article argues that they do so by transforming urban spaces, empowering residents, building social ties, and implementing alternative modes of urban governance.
