The pictures of the Carrot City project in the exhibition area around room B3, take you on a journey to different urban gardening projects in different cities of North America and Europe from the ground up to the roof of several leveled houses. Joe Nasr opening the Carrot City Exhibition on Tuesday evening Since 20 years, the initiative is visiting and documenting project with a focus on how they are designed. What started with just a few cases had been grown to a collection of more than 100 case studies. But more cases can still be added: the co-curator of the project, Joe Nasr, who came to Stuttgart-Hohenheim to open the exhibition, regrets that there are still only a few cases from cities of the global South. However, when the exhibition had been presented at various locations worldwide, people showed a great interest, so Nasr experience from for example Casablanca. Even though, in the different places, the projects face many different conditions, ranging from climatic, access to resources to legal or constructive frameworks, Nasr sees potential for mutual inspiration. Some ideas are well transferable from one city, community or house to another, and the collection of experiences, good and improvable, can surely make a valuable contribution. So in case, you are picking your tomatoes in a garden with a great view on the city or your children are tilling the local park, get into contact with the Carrot City project and become part of the exhibition and a great knowledge repository. Visit the homepage of the Carrot City Project And by the way, picking tomatoes on the 11th floor is possible in Wuhan (China) and Vancouver (Canada), but there are far more interesting examples of food production within urban settlements, that do not only feed the people but also significantly improve their quality of life and the appearance of empty spaces between the concrete.
