Description

This book explores how lessons from past urban planning experiences can inform current debates on urban agriculture. Productive landscapes today have been posited as instruments for the positive transformation related to territorial fragility and abandonment, promoting social cohesion, food security and wider environmental and economic benefits.  The book will re-map the way in which seeming landscape limitations and challenges can be turned into potential, innovation and a new lease of urban-rural life. It does so by drawing on significant past urban agricultural experiences in planning as vectors for new critical reflections relevant to re-igniting ideas for future envisioning of urban scenarios in which productive landscapes play fundamental transformative roles. The focus is on planning ideas and the roles of key individual planners, all of which have designed agricultural strategies for the city at some point in their careers. It intends to help us today reimagine urban-rural relationships, and the transformation of under or mis-used urban open spaces, peri-urban areas, fringe conditions and in-between spaces.

Author Biography:

Dr. Carla Brisotto obtained an architectural degree from the University IUAV of Venice (Italy) and a Ph.D. in Design, Planning, and Construction (DCP) from the University of Florida ( United States) with a dissertation focused on agrarian urbanism. She is currently a post-doctoral associate at the Florida Institute for Built Environment Resilience (FIBER). Her research focuses on the historical and contemporary practice of productive landscapes focusing on resilient and equitable foodshed design. She recently expanded her research to study how community participation can enhance equitable and resilient urban development design processes specifically on issues related to climate change. She has authored and co-authored publications on urban agriculture and resilient design and taught seminars and courses on resilient urbanism and equitable design strategies at the University of Florida. Prof. Fabiano Lemes de Oliveira is an Associate Professor inUrbanism at the Department of Architecture and Urban Studies (DAStU) at Politecnico di Milano, Italy. His research lies at the intersection of urban and landscape planning, with a focus on how ideas for green space systems have been considered in planning thought both from a contemporary and historical perspectives. Recent research areas include green urbanism, sustainable and resilient cities, planning models aimed at balancing urbanisation with nature - in particular related to the green wedge idea, green and blue infrastructure, and planning history and theory. He is the author of the book Green Wedge Urbanism: History, Theory and Contemporary Practice, published by Bloomsbury (London/ New York) and co-editor of the book Planning Cities with Nature: Theories, Strategies and Methods, published by Springer.
