Greening by Self-organised Urban Farming: A Productive Paradigm for Urban Green Space in China
ChinaFarmingisUrban green space currently urbanising the largest agricultural population to turn areas of cultivatable land into the urban territoryUrban territory. This has led to many urban issues such as dense community, lack of food securityFood security, and limited access to green spaces. Chinese urban dwellers, especially the older generations who lived in rural areas, often deal with the problems in their ways by planting flowers, fruits, and vegetables on any possible grounds within their communities. Such bottom-upBottom-up, dispersive, and non-institutional activity is defined as self-organised urban farmingFarming and is a common—yet overlooked phenomenon—in Chinese cities. The study assumes that urban farmingFarming will have great social and ecological potentials if properly guided by designers and will become a new paradigm for urban greeningUrban greening. By investigating BeijingBeijing's self-organised urban farmingFarming activities, this chapter aims to provide regulatoryRegulatory recommendations and planning strategies to turn self-organised urban farmingFarming into a new urban greeningUrban greening paradigm that engenders more benefits. Three major questions were addressed: What is self-organised urban farmingFarming? Why can self-organised farmingFarming have the potential to be a productive greening approach? How could self-organised farmingFarming green the city by integrating it into current urban greeningUrban greening?
