Urbant landbruk og retten til byen: et veikart for utøvere

Arild Eriksen, Deni Ruggeri, Esben Slaatrem Titland

Urban Farm DB summary

This essay examines urban agriculture from the perspective of an architect and urban farmer/beekeeper practicing bottom-up, participatory design in Oslo. Critical dimensions of urban agriculture in public space include private and corporate claims on these landscapes, and its current aesthetics of impermanence are critiqued. The essay questions the notion that the joy and freedom urban agriculture brings to a community should be built upon and enriched by future development and policy.
