Abstract

The urbanization and the immense increasing population in cities had a stimulating effect on the urban agriculture at recent decades with utmost importance.

The failure in urbanization and the metropolis covered with streets of bitumen evokes the pollution of air, water and soil at the terrain. In addition to that, the misuse of agricultural areas mutilates the quality of urban life. The fertile surroundings at the cities are invaded by industrial facilities and settlements cause the urban sustainability to fade. As a result of the decrement in useful agricultural lands, the food security, hygienic maintenance, the transportation of the crops and complaints about the highly disruptive pollution increase the need of a successful and efficient agricultural production in urban life.

Throughout this workshop, the urban allotment models in the global World and further researches about the benefits of the allotments to the local ecosystem and the negative aspects of climate shifts are revealed. Fort his instance, it is crucial to highlight the utmost importance of the sustainable urban cities for the presence of allotment gardens and further developments in urban agriculture.
