About this book

Urban gardening and agriculture have become important elements of sustainable urban planning in the context of persistent urbanization amid limited resources. However, a consideration of the cultural-historical dimension has been lacking up to now. The editors present the first comprehensive outline of traditional forms of food production in cities to help preserve this valuable knowledge. On the basis of current research findings, they develop new perspectives and guidelines for recognizing traditional food production systems as an aspect of cultural heritage and for dealing with urban agriculture worldwide.

First interdisciplinary synopsis worldwide on this topic
Contributions from landscape architecture, urban planning, agricultural history, sociology, and geography
Showcases perspectives for recognizing and developing urban agriculture
