Information on Urban agriculture can be found at Wikipedia. What's this?

Plants in the city can:

• can reduce temperatures, if planted in sufficient numbers, reducing the need for air conditioning and improving quality of life.
• provide fresh produce, which potentially has requires less resources to grow than produce transported from outside the city, and should be much fresher and thus better tasting - especially in the case of highly perishable produce such as salad greens.
• improve the appearance and feeling of the surroundings
• provide insulation (in the form of a green roof^W).
• be used indoors as living walls^W to help cure sick building syndrome^W

Living walls^W and green roofs^W are space-efficient ways of bringing plants into the city.
