Abstract
This chapter sharpens the relevant notions of gardens and urban gardening. It conceptualizes urban gardens as elements of a city’s green infrastructure, and highlights their importance as site of food production and tools of climate adaptation. The chapter also collects and presents empirical research on real-life experiments in urban gardening in different cities, and considers several ecological and social benefits that have been proven or can be reasonably expected to be delivered by the practice.
