Agropolis – part II. A modern city farm
Journal Title: Architectus - Year 2014, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
In the article the types of spatial scale urban farms which appear in urban renewal projects are disscussed. Regeneration method for creating agricultural zones in cities is an innovative, future-oriented urban redevelopment model transformation based on the principles of sustainable development. The use of different variations of this strategy in urban regeneration programs will depend on the progress in agricultural production technology in an urban environment, and in particular their self-sufficiency in raw materials and energy and on optimization of the costs of construction and operation of urban farms.
