DescriptionUrban agriculture is becoming increasingly important in developed and developing countries that are experiencing serious environmental and social problems. As a developing country, Turkey has faced some environmental, social and economic issues in urban areas with typically irregular industrialization and urbanization processes since the 1950s. In this study, community gardening, as one of the urban agriculture practices, was evaluated as a tool for sustainable urban development in the Izmir Metropolitan area in Turkey. The potential of existing community gardens was investigated with two case study sites in Bornova and Buca regarding social, economic and environmental qualities of the region. A mixed method approach incorporates historical research, interviews, and diagramming. After the evaluation of findings from site observations, open discussions and interviews, the data was used to illustrate conceptual community garden network in Izmir.
