Abstract

Urban agriculture provides economic, social, and cultural functions that improve human health and well-being for individuals and communities that reside in cities. However, with high land values and densely populated areas, available spaces for urban agricultural development are relatively rare. This research aims to explore feasible ways for residents that live in dense urban apartments to operate urban agriculture within the confines of a limited space. The design strategies for apartment farming will be summarized, which will provide opportunities for urban residents to grow fresh food, despite living in dense urban areas.
