Fig. 1: The final illustration representing urban farming.
From: Integrating science and the arts to deglobalise climate change adaptation
This illustration portrays diversity in architecture, vegetation, and transportation and selling of goods. In our project, the inclusion of different street vendors (including fixed and temporary, formal and informal, such as market stalls or street hawkers) achieved the necessary geographical and cultural diversity. Furthermore, the pre-pilot sketch of this illustration depicted people with full features, rather than stick people. We observed, however, that the full features generated an important debate about cultural representation that was not intended on our side. Substituting this with stick figures moved the focus away from the people and onto the practice of urban farming and the importance of green infrastructure. © All rights reserved.
