Seoul Agropolis

Access to cultivable urban land is a rare commodity, as a result productive landscapes are taking over our streets, roofs, walls and undergrounds. These productive urban landscapes can have an impact on people that goes far beyond sustenance, from the creation of new economic opportunities, to the forging of social bonds and the rediscovery of one’s natural and cultural setting. A new type of city is emerging, one where every space and surface can have a different productive potential. In this new continuously productive city (an “agropolis”), production should only be seen as one part of a closed loop that also includes consumption and disposal / decomposition.
