This paper discusses the role of agriculture in urban regeneration, with a focus on the action-research project OrtiAlti in Turin (Italy). Similarly to other experiences currently running in cites like Paris, OrtiAlti is set up to revitalize abandoned or under-utilized urban buildings through rooftop community gardens. Rooftop food gardens can play a role as urban regeneration devices, by combining environmental and social benefits, levering on food production as a mediating function, and including new economic and social actors as subjects able to produce values of collective interest for the community.

Abstract

This paper discusses the role of agriculture in urban regeneration, with a focus on the action-research project OrtiAlti in Turin (Italy). Similarly to other experiences currently running in cites like Paris, OrtiAlti is set up to revitalize abandoned or under-utilized urban buildings through rooftop community gardens. Rooftop food gardens can play a role as urban regeneration devices, by combining environmental and social benefits, levering on food production as a mediating function, and including new economic and social actors as subjects able to produce values of collective interest for the community.
