Manufacturing of products in urban production sites is connected to unique potentials, yet also to specific challenges. Urban factories can provide functional diversity and contribute positive impacts to a city. The concept of urban production receives rising attention in research and industry and it is recognized in its interdisciplinary nature. With a holistic approach from both the urban perspective and the factory perspective, negative impacts can be minimized, positive effects enabled and mutually beneficial, symbiotic combinations created. The presented framework and methods for the evaluation and implementation of sustainable urban production systems allow the assessment of impacts and provide the means to control and utilize the unique strengths of urban factories for cities and industry. This will allow a structured derivation of methods and measures from the concept of urban production for producing enterprises and the urban stakeholders.

As urban populations rise rapidly and concerns about food security increase, interest in urban agriculture has been renewed in both developed and developing countries. This book focuses on the sustainable development of urban agriculture and its relationship to food planning in cities. It brings together the best revised and updated papers from the Sixth Association of European Schools of Planning (AESOP) conference on Sustainable Food Planning. The main emphasis is on the latest research and thinking on spatial planning and design, showing how urban agriculture provides opportunities to develop and enhance the spatial quality of urban environments. Chapters address various topics such as a new theoretical model for understanding urban agriculture, how urban agriculture contributes to restoring our connections to nature, and the limitations of the garden city concept to food security. Case studies are included from several European countries, including Bulgaria, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Romania, Spain, Turkey and the UK, as well as Australia, Canada, Cameroon, Ethiopia and the United States (New York and Los Angeles).

This book gives an overview of frameworks, methods, and case studies useful for the analysis of the relations between agriculture and the city, in Europe and the Mediterranean. Its originality lies in the analysis of urban food systems sustainability from an actors’ perspective. All the chapters consider the key role of actors in the definition of innovations and pathways, which enhance sustainability, seen as an ongoing process. Part 1 presents systemic approaches of agricultural-urban interactions at the city-region scale in France, Egypt, Italy and Morocco. Part 2 deals with methods and tools for urban planning and local development, utilized to design and assess sustainable food systems. The Part 3 inventories the recent changes in urban agriculture and the new forms of governance which are emerging in European cities (Athens, Berlin, Lisbon, Montpellier, Paris and Zurich). These results are useful for students, academics and activists involved in local policies and projects.

In the heated debate over the meaning of sustainability in a globalizing world, a growing body of scholars and practitioners argue for localization and regionalization as appropriate strategies to achieve sustainability. In parallel, as rapidly globalizing food systems raise questions of environmental degradation, food security, health and nutrition, the local food movement has been arguing for localization and regionalization of the food system as a strategy to counteract the risks and ills of a globalized food system, and to promote sustainability. However, confusion abounds of what constitutes local food systems, and little evidence exists of the capacity of local food systems to significantly support the dietary requirements of major metropolitan areas. Drawing on the fields of sustainability, ecological economics, spatial analysis, regional studies, urban agriculture and social justice, this dissertation is an attempt to address questions of capacity and structure of the local food system in Philadelphia. For this, a conceptual framework for the analysis of local food systems as a strategy for sustainability is developed. The conceptual framework builds on the ecological economics theory argument that there is a fundamental need to acknowledge the natural resource limit for human development and achieve a steady state, or equilibrium in resource consumption and re-generation. Concepts of localization and regionalization in geography, planning, regional and sustainability studies suggest that achieving this type of equilibrium is unlikely at the global scale. Therefore, a more refined study of place and context is required if we are to pursue strategies for sustainability in general and in the case of food systems. In this dissertation the city of Philadelphia is studied to further the knowledge base on local food systems and their potential to promote sustainability in major urban areas. First, socio-spatial analysis is used to study formal and informal components of the local food system and the relationships among them. These include food producing community gardens, institutional gardens, urban farms, educational farms, farmer markets and the farms who supply them, Community Supported Agriculture, local food processing and distribution companies, food retailers and buying clubs that serve the city of Philadelphia. Institutions include city and state government organizations addressing food policy, non-profit organizations and associations dealing with hunger, nutrition, food security, health, education and more. Data is gathered using field research, interviews, and internet resources, analyzed and mapped using ArcGIS. Results define, categorize and map the local food system in Philadelphia as conceptualized and viewed by its participants, and indicate that their interactions in ways of cooperation, sharing of knowledge and resources, and the new economic and social models that arise from their actions, not only define and improve the city's food system, but fundamentally contribute to the sustainability of the city. Next, statistical data and spatial analysis methods are used to calculate the potential for food production in the city and region. Within the urban sphere, infrared aerial photography and other spatial and socio-economic data are utilized, combining remote sensing and GIS techniques to establish land availability and potential for growing food within the city boundaries. At the regional level an ecological economics framework is utilized, analyzing statistical data of land use and agriculture production compared to current food consumption practices and federal dietary guidelines, to evaluate the potential for a semi-closed regional food system to satisfy the dietary requirements of the city. Results show the agriculture hinterland in most of the defined foodshed regions produce enough food to satisfy the dietary requirements of the city. Nonetheless, issues of overlapping foodsheds, competition over local resources and structural social issues complicate the development of a localized food system around major metropolitan areas. Still, while more study is needed, my findings indicate that local food systems are posed to support the development of more sound environmental, social and economic interactions within the urban and food systems, thus positively impacting the sustainability of both the urban and regional sphere.

As people increasingly migrate to urban settings and more than half of the world's population now lives in cities, it is vital to plan and provide for sustainable and resilient food systems which reflect this challenge. This volume presents experience and evidence-based "state of the art" chapters on the key dimensions of urban food challenges and types of intra- and peri-urban agriculture. The book provides urban planners, local policy makers and urban development practitioners with an overview of crucial aspects of urban food systems based on an up to date review of research results and practical experiences in both developed and developing countries. By doing so, the international team of authors provides a balanced textbook for students of the growing number of courses on sustainable agriculture, food and urban studies, as well as a solid basis for well-informed policy making, planning and implementation regarding the development of sustainable, resilient and just urban food systems.

Urban agriculture offers promising solutions to many different urban problems, such as blighted vacant lots, food insecurity, storm water runoff, and unemployment. These objectives connect to many cities' broader goal of "sustainability," but tensions among stakeholders have started to emerge in cities as urban agriculture is incorporated into the policymaking framework. Growing a Sustainable City? offers a critical analysis of the development of urban agriculture policies and their role in making post-industrial cities more sustainable. Christina Rosan and Hamil Pearsall's intriguing and illuminating case study of Philadelphia reveals how growing in the city has become a symbol of urban economic revitalization, sustainability, and - increasingly - gentrification. Their comprehensive research includes interviews with urban farmers, gardeners, and city officials, and reveals that the transition to "sustainability" is marked by a series of tensions along race, class, and generational lines. The book evaluates the role of urban agriculture in sustainability planning and policy by placing it within the context of a large city struggling to manage competing sustainability objectives. They highlight the challenges and opportunities of institutionalizing urban agriculture into formal city policy. Rosan and Pearsall tell the story of change and growing pains as a city attempts to reinvent itself as sustainable, livable, and economically competitive.
