Switzerland: Food Urbanism – Typologies, Strategies, Case Studies

By Craig Verzone (Author), Cristina Woods (Author)
Birkhäuser; 1st edition (March 7 2021)

Methods and solutions

With an increasing interest in quality of nutrition and health, urban food production has begun to occur inside the growing cities worldwide and risks to compete with other urban needs.

The book introduces typologies, tools, evaluation methods and strategies, and shows the practical applications of the methods. Multiple projects illustrate solutions that augment quality via the insertion of food production entities into the urban realm.

Parc agro-urbain

We are happy to be finalizing the first phase of the creation of an urban ag park of 9 hectares in Geneva. As the park construction comes to an end, the building (shop, restaurant, barn and apartment) begins.

À l’ouest du canton de Genève, Bernex a pour vocation de devenir un centre régional, accueillant de nouveaux habitants, des emplois, ainsi que des équipements publics. Dans un environnement de qualité proche de la campagne, et relié au coeur de la ville par un tramway, un habitat durable sera réalisé aux portes de Genève, faisant cohabiter de manière exemplaire la ville et la campagne.
