As urban populations rise rapidly and concerns about food security
increase, interest in urban agriculture has been renewed in both
developed and developing countries. This book focuses on the
sustainable development of urban agriculture and its relationship
to food planning in cities. It brings together the best revised and
updated papers from the Sixth Association of European Schools of
Planning (AESOP) conference on Sustainable Food Planning. The main
emphasis is on the latest research and thinking on spatial planning
and design, showing how urban agriculture provides opportunities to
develop and enhance the spatial quality of urban environments.
Chapters address various topics such as a new theoretical model for
understanding urban agriculture, how urban agriculture contributes
to restoring our connections to nature, and the limitations of the
garden city concept to food security. Case studies are included
from several European countries, including Bulgaria, France,
Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Romania, Spain, Turkey and the UK, as
well as Australia, Canada, Cameroon, Ethiopia and the United States
(New York and Los Angeles).
