Phenomenon urban gardening
 Toppi, Maria Luisa
Urbanization and the global population is increasing at a fast pace. Urban gardens have gained popularity as a mean to produce food locally and organically and provide green spaces for urban citizens. This research explores the history, the impact on sustainable development and types of urban gardens and compares four initiatives in Europe and Asia. In the course of the research, primary research was conducted to profile the individual initiatives. The primary research consisted of semi-structured interviews with key individuals of the respective initiative. While the initiatives show a strong diversity in several aspects such as income streams, funding and size, it can be shown that in Europe, the focus is likely on community building and social aspects. Whereas in Asia, the gardens' purpose tends to be food production and the promotion of urban gardening. A common aspect for all the selected initiatives is composting of organic waste and the participation of the general public.
