Faculty Architecture Department Architectural Engineering & Technology Date 2011-04-08 Abstract This "designers' manual" is made during the TIDO-course AR0531 Smart & Bioclimatic Design. By the year 2050, it is projected that the world's population will exceed 9 billion people, with over 70 percent of humans living in cities. The current agricultural practices in rural landscapes lead to several pollution and land use problems. This leads to the importance of growing food in cities to curtail the emissions associated with the transport of food and ansure natural, fresh production while also supporting local economies. The core subject matter of this manual is how to integrate agriculture with buildings within the city.
