Urban Farm DB summary

An essay arguing that American urban dwellers cohabited with livestock in ecologically diverse cities until the nineteenth century, until late-nineteenth-century urban livestock policies and industrial agricultural transformation displaced livestock to urban fringes and rural areas, shaping present-day food access and food justice issues. Detroit passed its Urban Agriculture Ordinance in 2013, formalizing decades of community-driven urban agricultural practice. Using Detroit as a case, the piece presents a speculative urban design proposal - the Riverbend Farming Cooperative, a courtyard-based cooperative farm incorporating permaculture and animal husbandry within a former residential superblock - to examine the possibilities and challenges of urban development models built around cohabiting with livestock.
