Download or read book The Urban Garden City written by Sandrine Glatron and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an interdisciplinary overview of the role of gardens in cities throughout different historical periods. It shows that, thanks to various forms of spatial and social organisation, gardens are part of the material urban landscape, biodiversity, symbolic and social shape, and assets of our cities, and are increasingly becoming valued as an ‘order’ to follow. Gardens have long been part of the development of cities, serving different purposes through the ages: shaping neighborhoods to promote health or hygiene, introducing aesthetic or biological elements, gathering the citizens around a social purpose, and providing food and diversity in times of crisis. Highlighting examples that can serve as the basis for comparisons, the chapters offer a brief panorama of experiences and models of gardens in the city – in the European context and in various periods of history – while also discussing issues related to garden cities, urban agriculture and community gardens. The contributors are university staff from various disciplines in the human and life sciences, in discourse with other academics but also with practitioners who are interested in experiences with urban gardens and in promoting an awareness of their spatial, social and ‘philosophical’ goals throughout history. The book will appeal to urban geographers, sociologists and historians, but also to urban ecologists dealing with ecosystem services, biodiversity and sustainable development in cities. From a more operational standpoint, landscape planners and architects are sure to find many of the projects enlightening and inspirational.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’agriculture urbaine ne cesse de se développer avec de plus en plus de productions maraîchères, des vignes, des vergers, des ruches et des poulaillers. Mais les agriculteurs urbains d’aujourd’hui et de demain ne sont pas que des professionnels, chaque citadin est à même de participer à ce nouvel essor à titre individuel ou collectif. La vie en ville n’est pas un obstacle pour cultiver et récolter ses propres légumes, ses fruits et ses plantes aromatiques : dans la cave, le parking ou sur le toit, dans le salon ou la cuisine, sur les rebords des fenêtres, le balcon, la terrasse ou dans la cour, contre la façade des immeubles ou des maisons, suspendu à un potelet ou à un lampadaire, sur les trottoirs ou les quais piétonniers, au pied des arbres, sur une péniche et pourquoi pas dans des terrains laissés en friche... le potager urbain arrive toujours à trouver une place ! « Si chacun fait un geste, on change la ville, si on s’y met tous, on change le monde. » proclament les Incroyables Comestibles. Alors, lancez-vous ! A vos potagers, citoyens !

Download or read book Food and Urbanism written by Susan Parham and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities are home to over fifty percent of the world's population, a figure which is expected to increase enormously by 2050. Despite the growing demand on urban resources and infrastructure, food is still often overlooked as a key factor in planning and designing cities. Without incorporating food into the design process – how it is grown, transported, and bought, cooked, eaten and disposed of – it is impossible to create truly resilient and convivial urbanism. Moving from the table and home garden to the town, city, and suburbs, Food and Urbanism explores the connections between food and place in past and present design practices. The book also looks to future methods for extending the 'gastronomic' possibilities of urban space. Supported by examples from places across the world, including the UK, Norway, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Romania, Australia and the USA, the book offers insights into how the interplay of physical design and socio-spatial practices centred around food can help to maintain socially rich, productive and sustainable urban space. Susan Parham brings together the latest research from a number of disciplines – urban planning, food studies, sociology, geography, and design – with her own fieldwork on a range of foodscapes to highlight the fundamental role food has to play in shaping the urban future.

Download or read book Family Urban Agriculture in Russia written by Louiza M. Boukharaeva and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-02-27 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book results from research carried out by the authors since 1999 on urban gardening collectives in Russia, then from the extension of this research towards collective urban gardening in France, with some investigations in other European Union Member States and Brazil. This research was carried out within the framework of Kazan University (currently, the Institute of Administration and Territorial Development of the Federal University of Kazan) and the French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA). It enabled the creation of an international research network entitled Sustainable Development of Cities: the Relationship between City-Dwellers and Nature. This research was developed with help from a three-year research contract (October 2009 – September 2012) with the GESSOL programme of the French Ministry of Ecology, on the theme of the use of urban and peri-urban soils for the sustainable development of cities. The final report of this research contract provides the basis for the book.
