Research on the Development Status and Strategy of Productive Rooftop Gardens on Commercial Complexes

Urban Farm DB summary

This paper assessed the development status of productive rooftop gardens on urban commercial complexes in China using methods including ArcGIS, field research, and questionnaire interviews. Results indicated an uneven spatial distribution of productive rooftop gardens in mainland China, with 84.21% located in the southeast coast and Sichuan region. While the number of rooftop gardens has increased since 2013, operators still experience challenges in policies, funds, and planting knowledge.
