EDIBLE CITIES aims to transform the underused spaces of Shanghai into functional green spaces for urban farming where people can grow their own food and participate in the life of their community.

EDIBLE CITIES reinvents Shanghai by building a new relationship between urban residents and nature. It creates opportunities for everybody to creatively engage with technology, farming and urban life.

EDIBLE CITIES transforms a megacity like Shanghai with feasible and integrated solutions. These are: urban farming, green corridors, community-based urban living, food production and the green economy.
 
Three visions are part of Edible Cities:

‘Edible School’ an architectural reinterpretation of a “tree house” with educational programs for children, to be placed in primary schools and playgrounds;

‘Edible Stop’ an  installation of a garden, orchard and food production site in a public open space near the subway stations to engage urban residents with nature;

‘Edible Lane’ a plug-in parasitic architectural “greenhouse” attached to existing buildings in a typical lane house compound, to produce food within and for the compound.
