Urban Oasis shows Berlin's Tempelhof Airport, now a thriving public space, to the former landfill transformed into Cairo's Al-Azhar Park, across Bangkok's Thammasat University Urban Farm, the largest organic rooftop farm in Asia.

Urban Oasis includes interviews with leading figures in their fields, such as the pioneer of today's guerrilla gardening movement, Ron Finley, landscape architect, Kotchakorn Voraakhom of the futuristic studio, Landprocess, and arguably the world's most renowned landscape gardener, Piet Oudolf.

The book is written by German freelance journalist and photographer Jessica Jungbauer.
