Based on an informal urban agriculture laboratory, it suggests approaches for teaching Architecture and Urbanism that explore the pedagogical potential of action research and experimental research methods to structure living spaces regarding proximity, solidarity, intergenerationality, multifunctionality and sustainability. Aiming at social, biophysical, and ecological integration, the promotion of difference and gender equality, and raising awareness of the importance of active citizenship, collaborative processes of co-planning and co-management are developed in implementing plural green urban spaces.engUrban laboratoryCommunity artistic practicesInformal urban agricultureCo-planningGender equalityActive citizenshipbook part
