Room for Urban Agriculture in Rotterdam

By Paul de Graaf
2011

Since 2007 a group of Rotterdam citizens has been active under the name Eetbaar Rotterdam (Edible Rotterdam). Coming from different disciplines this expert group has been stimulating and initiating urban agriculture in Rotterdam, because they believe urban agriculture can greatly benefit the city.

The research “Room for Urban Agriculture in Rotterdam” is founded in the vision of Eetbaar Rotterdam. At its center is a mapping of opportunities for urban agriculture in Rotterdam. The resulting opportunity map is tested by a number of design case studies that show how to realise the mapped potential. The approach developed in this research is suitable for wider application and can be translated to
other cities.
