This article examines urban agriculture practices in Cleveland, Detroit, and Philadelphia, focusing on urban agriculture as both a community-generated urban form in post-industrial urban landscapes and as a planning process and policy problem or opportunity. The authors identify urban agriculture practices as an intersection of community development, food systems planning, and land use planning and analyze the role of local governments' policies and ordinances in addressing the practice.
