The Garden of Urban Delights: Rewilding, Elizabeth Kent’s Flora Domestica, and the longing for a greener city

Master thesis | Media Studies (MA)
The main goal of this thesis is to question in what way the concept of urban rewilding can be redefined, based on its inherent narrative, aesthetic goals, and location-bound desires. This thesis will attempt to show how both projects of urban rewilding and Elizabeth Kent’s Flora Domestica can be exemplary of a right way to interact with nature in city environments: one that should inspire not just a change in policy, but an ethical and cultural change of heart.
