Mapping the climate in the urban fabric. The first step for farming the city

Urban agriculture represents for the city a mix of opportunities from various perspectives. From an environmental point of view, as it uses water, soil and waste (potential nutrients), often urban waste can be part of urban and building metabolism. Furthermore, it can represent a useful piece for the continuity and strengthening of the urban green infrastructure, as it intercepts and enhances dedicated lots - shared community and municipal gardens - but also rooftops and vertical surfaces (Orsini, et al., 2023). From these premises, the BIZE_Urfarm research draws inspiration, introducing among the city's resources that enhance urban agriculture the surfaces of buildings, which was previously considered an impediment to the development of urban agriculture in urbanized contexts.
