"This volume documents a design competition led by art-design group Land Art Generator Initiative (LAGI) for the 2023 German Federal Horticultural Show in Mannheim. It transformed a former US military base into a clean-energy park benefiting a previously excluded community. . . . The program offers an imaginative template for greening urban areas." – Choice
