The public policy - private-‘just do it’ dilemma, urbanization trend and densification put pressure on the
quality and quantity of urban green spaces. Green self-governance and proximity to urban green spaces
is crucial for context-sensitive urban green and beautification of the living environment. Focusing on
‘geveltuinen’: green placed on the nexus of private and public, statistical analysis (N=287) on the
governance of citizens revealed the levers and barriers to engage. Conclusion; ‘private geveltuinen’
flourish within an informal public governance structure.
