Integration of urban agriculture in cities is shaped by available productive spaces, urban morphologies, socio-economic conditions, initiatives of the government and private organizations, and people’s motivations, perceptions, and awareness. The suitability of integrating various urban agriculture typologies such as home, community, rooftop, balcony, and container gardens varies with different densities of urban forms. This chapter will review the urban design and planning approaches and models of food urbanism and analyze the potential of weaving these local productive spaces at low, medium, and high residential density developments using practical case studies. This analysis will comprehend how local food production could guide urban transformation when it is central to designing and planning for built environments and could enable the development of more resilient and liveable urban forms.
