An innovative response to unchecked city growth, the research is presented through a series of international case studies, some commissioned by government organisations, others speculative and polemic. This new urban paradigm focuses on the ecological symbiosis between nature, society and the built form, questions whether we can re-cast the city from first principles, with its inhabitants at the forefront. The holistic reintegration of agriculture in the built environment can cultivate new spatial practices and social cohesion in addition to food for our tables.
