Urbant landbruk i det offentlige rom: erfaringer fra Oslo

Katinka H. Evensen, Vebjørn Egner Stafseng

Urban Farm DB summary

This chapter presents case studies from Oslo (2018–2020), exploring urban agriculture integration in public spaces through interviews with initiators and managers of eight projects. The projects are motivated by creating social meeting places and learning arenas for cultivation and ecological knowledge, and are used as a tool for local urban space development. Findings suggest that perceived publicness of spaces can be increased through deliberate design to ensure accessibility for diverse urban populations.
