Urban Allotment Gardens and Community Gardens: a strategy to build urban resilience during the Covid 19 pandemic in Global North
Urban allotment gardens and community gardens were always crucial in building urban resilience in periods of crisis. They were critical during the early stages of the Industrial Revolution, the two World Wars, the Great Depression, and more recently in the Covid-19 pandemic. This paper presents a brief synopsis and discussion of the role of these gardens during the Covid-19 pandemic in twelve countries of the Global North.
The method used is a narrative literature review in which scientific and informative materials on the subject were investigated, with a special emphasis on case-studies. Results show that these green spaces provided for food security, food assistance and wellbeing in many of the analyzed countries, regardless the restrictions imposed by the Covid safety measures. In some countries, their supply increased in face of the increasing demand, and some municipalities included them in their food emergency programs. An important outcome of this research is the use of these urban agriculture typologies to increase urban resilience in many cities, given the many ecosystem services they provide.
