Since their origins, cities and agriculture have evolved in close interdependence, shaping each other’s forms and functions, and revealing a shared history. This book explores the relationships between cities, architecture, and agriculture from the Middle Ages through the end of the 20th century. It draws on an examination of the many interactions between cities and the countryside, as well as the various types of cultivated spaces in urban settings. It highlights the major transformations and significant shifts in these relationships, whether food-related, social, economic, or environmental. This book also invites readers to immerse themselves in the urban atmospheres across the centuries. By adopting this historical perspective, the book brings spatial and temporal depth to what is now referred to as “urban agriculture.” It aims to stimulate reflection among researchers, practitioners, students, and readers interested in this subject regarding the need to reestablish strong ties between cities and their local agriculture. This examination of the continuities and historical changes in intra- and peri-urban agricultural practices provides essential support for inspiring and transforming our contemporary urban landscapes.
