Abstract

The intent of this design thesis is to examine a sustainable solution for an urban plan in southwest Fargo that includes using urban agriculture as a tool to encourage recycling gray water and promoting a solution to the growing food and water shortage problem. Examining a city’s need for implementing an urban agriculture policy into their city plan will help to create a sustainable and renewable food resource. The design solution for this thesis will include an urban farm as well as a plan for stormwater management in the area surrounding the farm. The design for this urban farm will also create a gathering place for people from a wide spectrum of social and economic statuses to increase community interactions.
