\nInhabitat<\/em> writes about a new urban farm installation\u00a0in Shenzen. “Landgrab City,” is a square plot that\u00a0represents a map of\u00a0the city\u00a0and is designed to educate Shenzhen\u00a0residents about how much land is required to feed the city’s population of 4.5 million.\u00a0The urban farm is part of the Shenzhen & Hong Kong Biennale of Urbanism\/Architecture<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Inhabitat<\/em> says the\u00a0plot is\u00a0subdivided into areas for\u00a0different crops,\u00a0and surrounded by\u00a0a map of one of\u00a0Shenzhen’s\u00a0downtown. “The cultivated area is subdivided to represent the amount of food consumed from each food group \u2013 vegetables, cereals, fruit, pasture for livestock, and more.”<\/p>\n

The\u00a0project designers,\u00a0Joseph Grima, Jeffrey Johnson, and Jos\u00e9 Esparza, seek to educate Shenzhen residents about the relationship between food and\u00a0agricultural land-use\u00a0– in\u00a0reality,\u00a0the area’s food production isn’t concentrated in a few areas. “Food production is scattered throughout the country and even beyond its borders. The creators make the point that food scarcity and volatile prices on the international market are pressing concerns, and because of this, vast swathes of land are being ‘grabbed’ for agricultural purposes, hence the name Landgrab City.”<\/p>\n
