On 9 April 2009, Michelle Obama planted the first seedlings of onion, lettuce, peas and peppers in the 102‐square‐metre (1,100‐square‐foot) White House Kitchen Garden. She may have planted the green shoots for a smartcity. CJ Lim, author of Smartcities + Eco‐warriors (Routledge, 2010), describes sustainable urban developments in the form of smartcities – a new urban exuberance reintegrating cultivated land within an urban economic and ecological context system. These verdant edible edifices of urban spatial theatre are aesthetically and culturally engaging. Soliciting an emotional as well as intellectual response they have the potential to connect with the public and involve them in the architectural possibilities of the city.
