A garden for urbanites - to give people with no gardens the chance to nurture a green space, and enhance the appearance for the benefit of the local area; to be placed over the disused Ladies and Gents toilets to take advantage of their unique highly visible loactions.

Grow Your Own by Sam Macalister
This design proposes a vertical garden for the local residents of Clerkenwell. An existing car park is relocated underground and the ground swells up at street level to house a cafe and organic market. The gardens are housed in container sized glass pods which are stacked and staggered to allow light to filter through.

The Heart by Ranjit Matharu and Andrew Kay - University of Greenwich

Proposal to create a linear sequence of verdant sculpture courts using the disused Kingsway tram entrance ramp and subway, with punctured openings connecting to street level.
