Urban Farm DB summary

Focused on cities such as Detroit, Seattle, San Francisco, London, and Paris that have undergone regeneration since the 2007 economic crisis, this paper proposes planning methods for an organized, multifunctional "agro-urban system" incorporating urban agriculture (UA). It presents a "deliberative monetary appraisal" methodology combining economic valuation based on hypothetical scenarios with direct, inclusive, dialogic approaches, offering an overview of UA's characteristics and problems, methodological elements for planning an agro-urban system, and guidelines for a deliberative appraisal procedure; the paper does not report an empirical application of the method.
