Landscape design of urban agricultural Spaces: spatial and artistic integration

Abstract

Urban agricultural landscapes are becoming a key element of sustainable city planning, providing both environmental and social benefits. However, their integration into urban environments poses challenges in harmonizing productivity with aesthetic and spatial coherence. This paper examines the spatial composition, materiality, and artistic solutions in modern urban farms, evaluating their role in enhancing urban environments beyond ecological benefits. The study categorizes various typologies of urban agricultural spaces and explores how design principles such as form, texture, and color contribute to their successful integration into cityscapes. Through case studies, effective design strategies that balance functionality and visual appeal are identified, demonstrating how urban farms can serve as both productive and engaging public spaces.
