Urban Agriculture as Low-Carbon Strategy for Cities

Abstract:

Integrating agriculture into urban environment and architectural space, which connects with production, life and ecological systems, will be an integrative strategy for low-carbon city and architecture. This acts as an alternative and even better which amends some missing links of the existing low-carbon strategy. This essay analyzes the necessity and possibility of developing urban agriculture for low-carbon cities and explores low-carbon architectural project, so as to discuss further in the possibility of integrating urban agriculture into cities and buildings.
