Abstract:

More than a passing trend, urban agriculture has become a part of modern cities. According to some authors, it provides some ecosystem services (well-being, food, water catchment, biodiversity…) contributing to the climate resilience of cities. Although these functions are recognised, not all municipalities integrate those functions into urban planning. The survey conducted in the Ile-de-France Region on 240 land-use local plans and their integration of urban agriculture (UA) and Urban Domestic Gardens (UDG) functions and issues reveal that the most expected functions are environmental, landscape management and social. Based on empirical findings, the paper identifies the characteristics and shortcomings of integrating urban agriculture into urban planning in France, therefore proposing policy recommendations for integrating urban agriculture into climate resilience-oriented urban planning in China.
