I’m always interested in this kind of urban gardening, mainly because my Gryphon Clerks setting has it – but also because I can see it becoming more prevalent in the future.

The world’s largest man-made forest has added vegetation to its iconic skyline. Districts within the City of Johannesburg have used the space on their rooftops to build planters for fruit and vegetables to feed the inner city.
These projects cater to people living in the neighbourhoods. They are community driven and they also help to develop skills of local residents.

The terraced gardens of Bahai Isreal are a superb example of agricultural engineering. The gardens go over highways, buildings, and even on the rock of the mountain frequently have less than 3 feet deep of soil to work with.
