Gabriela Adriana Munguía Uribe, Pedro Joaquín Gutiérrez Yurrita
Our objective was to analyze the influence of place attachment at the individual level to build new urban landscapes. We explore the attitudes and social networks built from the voluntary participation in the management of two urban community vegetable gardens installed in Mexico City. The results revealed positive attitudes of the people towards the community gardens, due to the social ties built, the contact with the green spaces, and the activities carried out in them. It is worth noting that the abandoned spaces have been rebuilt through voluntary participation and collaboration with local authorities. We concluded that the participants developed a sense of place that contributed to the redesign of some places in their neighborhood and the preservation of the urban landscape.
