This book provides comprehensive information on the rapidly
developing field of urban horticulture for sustainable use of land
resources and creating a better environment. It presents
peer-reviewed chapters from leading international researchers in
the field of horticulture technologies, environmental issues, urban
horticulture, and landscaping and its role in society. It covers a
wide array of topics on this subject and constitutes a valuable
reference guide for students, professors, researchers, builders,
and agriculturists concerned with urban horticulture, city
planning, biodiversity, and the sustainable development of
horticultural resources. Urban horticultural technologies
facilitate the efficient use of available land in urban and
residential areas, helping meet the demand for fresh fruits and
vegetables to feed ever-growing urban populations. The amount of
green space in urban areas is dwindling due to rising land prices,
while the climbing numbers of multi-story buildings are producing
various environmental and health issues. Technological advances
provide tools and techniques for high-density and vertical cropping
in small areas, promoting efficient and sustainable resource
utilization. As such, urban horticulture is gaining importance in
city planning - not only to bolster the food supply but also to
improve the aesthetic value, environmental conditions, landscape,
and business environment, while also reducing the consumption of
fossil fuel in transportation.
