  0750655437   Andre Viljoen Continuous Productive Urban Landscapes: Designing Urban Agriculture for Sustainable Cities This is an important book that both challenges and contributes to current urban thinking. It is both inspiring and practical, reminding of us that sophisticated high density urban life can benefit from looking to examples from such places as the traditional Chinese city or current practice in Cuba to ways in which we can develop a more ecological and healthy way forward. This is not a grand plan, but one that can be applied to both old and new areas in an incremental manner. It is now up to all of us to apply the lessons learnt with a sense of urgency wherever we may live.'  George Ferguson, President of RIBA, Director of Acanthus Ferguson Mann, UK Pb Jan-05
