Abstract
This interview with Katrin Bohn accompanies Bohn and Viljoen's article in the issue "Productive Landscapes" of the journal Landscape Architecture China.
In this article, we review the role of productive landscapes within the context of the CPUL City design concept. Whilst this concept concentrates on the European urban model, it draws from international experience and its findings are scalable and adaptable to other urban models, including the Chinese. Continuous Productive Urban Landscape (CPUL) proposes a coherent strategy for the introduction of interlinked productive landscapes into cities thereby creating a new sustainable urban infrastructure and supporting a re-definition of open urban space usages. The paper focuses on urban agriculture as one of the major components of CPUL.
