Antonio,
Look into the following books:

A Patch of Eden: America's Inner-City Gardeners 
<http://astore.amazon.com/pctradingpost-20/detail/0930031806/105-5321760-7571619>

City Bountiful: A Century of Community Gardening 
<http://astore.amazon.com/pctradingpost-20/detail/0520243439/105-5321760-7571619>

City Green 
<http://astore.amazon.com/pctradingpost-20/detail/068812786X/105-5321760-7571619> 


Digging Deeper: Integrating Youth Gardens Into Schools & Communities 
<http://astore.amazon.com/pctradingpost-20/detail/188443004X/105-5321760-7571619>

Community Gardening (Brooklyn Botanic Garden All-Region Guide) 
<http://astore.amazon.com/pctradingpost-20/detail/1889538388/105-5321760-7571619>

Sharing the Harvest: A Citizens Guide to Community Supported 
Agriculture, Revised and Expanded 
<http://astore.amazon.com/pctradingpost-20/detail/193339210X/105-5321760-7571619>

Patch of Eden, for example looks at gardens all over the country. I 
imagine you could GoogleEarth them.

I'd also contact BUG (Boston Urban Gardeners), SLUG (San Francisco 
League of Urban Gardeners) <http://www.grass-roots.org/usa/slug.shtml>, 
EBUG (East Bay Urban Gardeners), Bay Area Coalition for Urban 
Agriculture (BACUA) <http://www.cityfarmer.org/CenterSustUA.html>* *.
