Agri-urbanism
Design and planning approaches that integrate agricultural production into urban and peri-urban environments.
Agri-urbanism addresses food security and sustainability by embedding farming systems within cities and their peripheries. This practice combines landscape design, architecture, and urban planning to create productive spaces that serve both ecological and social functions.
The community explores vertical farms and rooftop agriculture, adaptive housing models that incorporate food production, and masterplans that treat cities as productive organisms. Work ranges from closed-loop food systems and terraced landscapes to live-work spaces where farming becomes central to urban living.
