Project
AP149.S1.2004.PR01
Description:
The project series documents Minimum Cost Housing Group's project of research, design and construction to demonstrate the benefits of urban agriculture as a permanent feature in housing design and urban planning. A first phase of the project, from 2004 to 2007, the study project took place in developping countries in three diffrent sites: Colombo, Sri Lanka; Rosario, Argentina; and Kampala, Uganda. The project was funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and supported by the ETC-Urban Agriculture Unit in the Netherlands and the Resource centres on Urban Agriculture and Food Security (RUAF). In 2007, a second phase of the project had for objective to implement an urban agriculture production in Montréal. The Minimum Cost Housing Group team created, on McGill Campus, a vegetable garden on the terrace of a parking garage. The project is now known as "Making Edible Campus" and is still on-going. The material in this project series was produced between 2003 and 2010. The project series contains a large collection of working documents and reports submitted to funding institutions, correspondence with collaborators on the three sites, and also photographss of the project in Colombo, Kampala, Rosario sites. Also included are various artefacts related to the sites in the three developping countries and a board game "Gardenpoly" created by the Urban Agriculture seminar students on urban agriculture in Montréal. Promotional panels for the Making Edible Campus are also included.
