چکیده
گسترش و صنعتی شدن شهرها و افزایش روزافزون ساخت وساز در آن ها، موجب شده است تا نیازهای اقتصادی و اکولوژیکی، زیست محیطی و سبزینگی در شهرها به شدت احساس شود؛ اما مسئله اصلی این است که چگونه می توان در شهرهای صنعتی و پرجمعیت نیازهای پیش گفته را پاسخ داد؟ یکی از روش های پاسخ گویی به این مسئله، ورود هدفمند راه حل های مبتنی بر طبیعت در منظر شهری است. استراتژی ادیبل این قابلیت را دارد تا به منظور تأمین بخشی از نیازهای اکولوژیکی و زیست محیطی و غذایی، اجتماعی شهر و ساکنان آن وارد حیطه ی عمل شود و با رویکرد زیرساخت های سبز در لابه لای ساختار شهری تأمین کننده ی بخش وسیعی از نیازها باشد، شش های شهری که تنها کاربری تفرجی داشته اند و اغلب بخش های وسیعی از فضای درون شهر را به خود اختصاص داده اند، اکنون می توانند پاسخ گوی نیازهای مبرم شهرنشینان شوند؛ و فضای سبز صرفاً مصرف کننده، به فضای سبز تولید کننده تبدیل شود. با تداوم و گسترش این استراتژی در شهر، شهر پذیرای سبک جدیدی از زندگی خواهد شد که سبب ایجاد ارتباط نزدیک با طبیعت، افزایش تعامل اجتماعی، بهبود اوضاع اقتصادی و سبب افزایش بهره وری از طبیعت را سبب می شود، این پژوهش با تحلیل جامع مقالات علمی منتشر شده در پایگاه های معتبر اطلاعاتی به بررسی تأثیرات احیای اراضی کشاورزی و احداث ادیبل پارک ها پرداخته است. همچنین از رویکردهای سیستماتیک برای غربالگری و تحلیل مقالات استفاده کرده و بر اساس چندین موضوع که از اهمیت بالایی در ادبیات تحقیق برخوردارند، دسته بندی شده اند. با مرور و تحلیل دقیق ادبیات موجود و شناسایی و ارزیابی نقاط قوت و ضعف مطالعات پیشین به بررسی زیرساخت ها و فرصت ها و ظرفیت های موجود در شهر و ارائه ی راه حل ها و مدل های راهبردی و کاربردی در جهت توسعه ی پایداری شهرها پرداخته است.Urban Agricultural Land Revitalization and the Creation of Edible Parks Toward Sustainable Urban Development
Introduction Rapid population growth and environmental degradation pose significant social and ecological challenges for cities worldwide. The global population is projected to reach 9 billion by 2050, placing increasing pressure on urban systems. Cities are confronting multifaceted challenges, including climate change, social segregation, biodiversity loss, and the absence of healthy, environmentally sustainable food systems. In response, the concept of sustainable urban development has emerged as a holistic framework to address these interconnected issues by integrating environmental, social, and economic dimensions. Sustainable development science emphasizes inclusive participation, engaging non-experts in addressing complex, multidimensional urban problems. One promising strategy is the revitalization of urban agricultural lands through innovative, community-driven approaches. Urban sustainability and growth strategies can thus serve as critical pathways toward resilience, fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration and empowering communities to co-create solutions. Findings Urban agriculture encompasses the cultivation of crops and rearing of livestock within urban and suburban areas, reinforcing the interdependence between urban and rural systems. It responds to diverse food demands, supports various business models, and carries significant social and environmental implications in terms of costs, benefits, and funding mechanisms. This study considers food production across urban and peri-urban landscapes in all its forms, without categorical distinction. Nature-based solutions (NbS) represent innovative approaches for sustainable urban transformation. These strategies enhance urban resilience without necessarily altering the physical fabric of cities, instead optimizing existing structures through ecological integration. By expanding urban green initiatives—from small-scale interventions such as green roofs and indoor farming to large-scale green spaces—nature-based projects can transform urban lifestyles and foster sustainable community development. Edible parks, as a form of nature-based solution, utilize both public and private spaces to build sustainable urban infrastructure and redefine the function of urban open spaces. They promote social interaction, strengthen community bonds, and contribute to the creation of vibrant urban ecosystems. Urban food production often relies on simple, low-tech methods with minimal infrastructure, making it accessible and scalable. Productive green spaces not only enhance food security but also improve environmental quality, stimulate local economies, and provide recreational and aesthetic benefits. The edible park model directly addresses pressing urban challenges, including climate change adaptation, biodiversity conservation, and global food system vulnerabilities. By embedding productive landscapes into the urban fabric, edible parks foster biophilic design principles, creating distinctive, identity-rich environments that reconnect residents with nature. In cities rich with opportunities for ecological restoration, these spaces enable citizens to experience the wonder and regenerative potential of the natural world. As a key model of urban landscape innovation, edible cities play a vital role in advancing ecological sustainability and reconstructing urban green infrastructure—including the rehabilitation of underutilized or degraded agricultural lands. In cities like Tabriz, where nature-based solutions are gaining momentum, edible parks can generate sustainable employment and income opportunities for local communities. Thoughtful, context-sensitive design of these spaces is essential to maximizing their functional efficiency and enhancing overall urban sustainability. Discussion and Conclusion Urban agriculture has gained growing public and institutional attention as cities seek resilient, adaptive infrastructure solutions. This domain includes a wide range of practices led by diverse stakeholders—such as community gardens, allotment plots, transition city initiatives, and commercial urban farms. A central challenge today is the reintegration of productive agriculture into urban planning, despite its historical presence in city landscapes. Land-use changes, particularly soil sealing due to urban expansion, have detrimental effects on soil health, hydrological cycles, and biodiversity. In industrialized nations, agricultural land has declined due to competing demands for urban development, industrial zones, infrastructure, and protected natural areas. Edible parks offer a strategic response by enabling food production within city boundaries while preserving existing urban agricultural lands. In doing so, they reinforce the role of green infrastructure as a cornerstone of sustainable urban development.
