This project aims to develop flora as a civic resource available for people and non-human users of Liverpool city.

With urban sprawl and densification, the original vitality of urban green space is slowly degenerating under the compact city's epidermis. Liverpool's mostly urban city centre has the city’s lowest plant cover. Even while original green spaces remain, the urban densification often reduces accessibility. As a result, poor weather conditions almost always affect regular commuters. As these harmful and uncomfortable urban issues become commonplace, we must learn to see flora as a civic resource – one to be shared and accessed by all. This project is inspired by Dutch architect Aldo van Eyck's City as Playground project, which developed hundreds of public playgrounds interspersed in Amsterdam’s city blocks so that residents could access them at any time. This project proposes building a city-wide plant nursery system that starts to grow in the city’s gaps and then expands into a network through the transportation system and by engaging users. The project considers the scale of the individual, the community, and the civic government, and ultimately forms a self-propagating model, making the city a veritable ‘city green nursery’.
