Continuous Productive Urban Landscapes: Designing Urban Agriculture for Sustainable Cities [75850]

 £33.99
This book provides a design proposal for a new kind of sustainable urban landscape: Urban Agriculture. By growing food within an urban, rather than an exclusively rural environment, urban agriculture would reduce the need for industrialized production, packaging and transportation of foodstuffs to the city dwelling consumers. The impact that this would have on the future shape of cities could be immense. This a pioneering book on urban design which dares to challenge the widely accepted 'compact city' solution
