Urban Farm DB summary
This chapter explores how urban allotment gardens are or could be integrated into spatial development visions and concepts in Europe. Following 1989, allotment gardens gained attention as a land-use category in spatial and urban planning. The planning of allotment gardens in the contemporary European landscape faces a contradictory situation, with urban development planning largely responsible for future scenarios.
