Urban Farming: The Reluctant Utopia

Urban Farm DB summary

This paper notes that the conceptual dichotomy between city and countryside has historically hindered architects and urban planners. While many attempts have been made to integrate cities with nature, often more modest experiments yielded better results than grand-scale ones. Daniele Belleri, a partner at CRA‐Carlo Ratti Associati, and Carlo Ratti, director of the MIT Senseable City Lab, explore contemporary options for urban farming.
