Continuous Productive Urban Landscapes: Designing Urban Agriculture for Sustainable Cities Tapa blanda - 2005

Joe Howe wishes to acknowledge the support of the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) for funding research undertaken during 2000-2001, which was concerned with urban agriculture and land-use regulation in metropolitan areas of the UK. This research has fed into the book.

Within her urban design research, she has developed several architectural and landscape proposals, mostly centred around CPULs. Recent live projects relating to landscape and ecological building include the CUE Eco House in London (with the Low Energy Architecture Research Unit at London Metropolitan University) and proposals for community landscapes in Southwark, London.
Andr Viljoen is an architect and senior lecturer at the School of Architecture and Design at the University of Brighton, where he is undergraduate architecture course leader and runs a design studio with Katrin Bohn. Previously he was Deputy Director of the Low Energy Architecture Research Unit, based in the School of Architecture and Spatial Design at London Metropolitan University. He has participated in a number of European research studies for low energy buildings and his work in urban agriculture and urban design stems from an interest in architecture and environmental issues. Recent research and practice has concentrated on the design implications of the integration of urban agriculture into urban landscape strategies.
