For this Special Issue, we welcome conceptual and empirical studies, as well as theoretical or realized projects, that propose concrete actions to promote landscape and urban horticulture in modern cities, highlighting scopes and benefits that they could provide both to the urban food system and urban regeneration.
Papers can be submitted in the broader research area of landscape and urban horticulture. However, articles that focus on the below topics are encouraged:
- Ecosystem services provided by urban agriculture practices;
- Urban horticulture as new green infrastructure;
- Climate change mitigation and adaptation through landscape and urban horticulture practices;
- Water and waste management;
- Circular design processes;
- Integration of agricultural practices in and on buildings;
- Social, environmental, and economic innovations achieved through urban farming initiatives.
