The integration of green spaces into urban environments is well established in mainstream planning history. However, normative histories often present an exclusionary and homogenised narrative of the evolution of green-space planning. This chapter explores how a diverse range of voices, including those of women, non-whites, Indigenous people, immigrants and non-Western perspectives, have been marginalised in historical accounts. In the context of pressing global challenges, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and public health crises, emphasising these overlooked voices presents an opportunity to rethink the relationship between cities and nature, while fostering a more inclusive and equitable approach to urban green-space planning.
