Keywords: revitalization, metropolis, land regeneration, urban agriculture, urban farms, greenery integrated with buildings
Abstract:

Modern cities introduce revitalization programs that enable more rational and sustainable use of ecosystem
resources. The revitalization activities in modern metropolises, understood as the process of making grow
and develop, linked to implementing of novel technological solutions integrating buildings with nature as
a significant building development equipment and public space areas have been analysed. The research
was focused on the analysis of designs and implementations of city urban farms, which serve as modern
examples of investments with social functions, namely public utility and plants production or farming for
nutritional needs for the local community. The study presents the research on interdisciplinary discussion
regarding the issues of urban regeneration by the implementation of urban farms in the modern 21st century
metropolis. Treating buildings as a biotope could increase the biologically active area. Looking for
the possibility of introducing and increasing agricultural production in the modern metropolis, it turns out
that the roofs and elevations have a lot of potential. The article presents the analysis of diversity of crops
for the last 20 years on architectural surfaces in order to show the possibility of using them as an important
element of city revitalization.
