1. Which 'green' spaces do exist in cities, Europe?
2. Which 'green' spaces exist according to a typology system?
To start with question 2.
On page 23, ' The European city and green space. London, Stockholm, Helsinki and St. Petersburg, 1850-2000, ed. P. Clark, 2006, the figure ' preliminairy typology of green spaces in the four cities' has been printed. The figure shows a distinction between natural green space and planned green space, along the vertical bar.
-What is natural and what is planned still has the status of 'debate'/ discussion/ discours-
Time demarcation between 1850 -1990 , patterned with seven times 20 years, along the horizontal bar.
Although the figure suggests eightteen types. According to me, nine types can be distinguished: forest, greenery, common, park, cemetary, garden, ground, cityfarm and marina.( marina? Can be left out, I think )
Seven variations on the park type are typed down, knowing: people's park, major park, local park, park of culture and recreation, victory park, forest park and national urban park.
Five variations of the garden type are typed down, knowing: hospital garden, planned garden, school garden, company garden, allotment garden.
Or is it a case of name- giving? Timebased name - giving?
And why are guerillagarden, public garden, private garden, roofgarden, vertical garden, university garden, campusground, dog ground, tiergarten, backyard, vegetable garden, balcony garden, herbgarden, flowergarden, museumgarden, flowerbeds, green spot, grass zones, 'grotto' (a building covered with plants), treestreet or treelane not included?
Is it what P. Clark notices: .....and almost no attempt to relate different ideas and initiatives together to provide a coherent discussion of the evolution of urban green space as a whole, whether from a national or comparative perspective. 'The European city and green space', ed. P. Clark, 2006, p.6
Although I do not believe in 'evolution', in same book P. Clark warns us on page 8, writing:'Even the basic concepts of 'urban space', 'urban nature', 'urban culture', 'public space', or 'green space' are not exactly the same in all cities.'
As a warming up for the figure twentytwo pages of text are produced, containing a lot of information.
In other fields an infographic can be created, based on such a quantitaty of information. Maybe this is an idea for doing history as well and for sharing it with you on this blog. I am not going to write the 22 pages down here, as you will understand.
Shoot media makes graphically nice infographics. Shall I ask them?

O,oh. What a coincidence! 'Terrible' Maarten has adopted this idea, earlier than me! Smart a......(just joking)
In the meantime I will read again, for my personal well being, in 'Hoe erger h hoe beter', by Jeffrey Wijnberg, 2013. Because I like the comics by Peter van Straten about Sigmund, so much. My favoriet: chapter four, 'Je hoeft je niet slecht te voelen'. Bye.
