Urban citizens are forced to reside in confined habitats, confronted with extremely limited space provisions that deprive them of any opportunity for gardening activities. Our goal is to create multifunctional green spaces within the city, enabling residents to cultivate personal gardens. This initiative aims to foster a sense of ownership and connection to nature while alleviating urban stress and enhancing mental well-being.
In each unit, residents have their own designated personal production areas, allowing them the freedom to utilize the space as they see fit. The placement of each unit’s garden is determined based on sunlight accessibility.
Within this community, residents benefit from shared spaces for workshops related to gardening, pharmacy, and the creation of personal food sources. These communal areas provide educational opportunities for residents, as well as public spaces where they can both consume and sell the products they cultivate.
