Professor Zhong Fang, who invited me to design and lead this workshop, has been working for nearly 10 years to introduce the topic of food in the design department of Tsinghua University in Beijing. If Fang and I are convinced of urban agriculture in all its forms and of its potential as a vector of social cohesion in neighbourhoods because we have seen it all over the world, the challenge here is significant: the 10 areas mentioned by community collaborators as the starting point for the workshop are emblematic of the highest urban densities in the cities of Beijing and Tianjin. In terms of population, the land potentially available at the bottom of the buildings represents an average of ten to fifteen people for each square metre, therefore in terms of vegetable gardens, a rather limited prospect. And this is without counting the problems between neighbours, which are not without reminding us, as Pierre Desproges humorously said, that \u00ab\u00a0the neighbour is a harmful species quite close to man\u00a0\u00bb. If the Chinese formula for referring to all the inhabitants of the same complex of buildings is to talk about a \u00ab\u00a0community of inhabitants\u00a0\u00bb, life in these large complexes of skyscrapers does not seem to be a matter for the community. <em>\u00ab\u00a0We don&rsquo;t share much except the memory that the neighbours formed before an urban community\u00a0\u00bb<\/em> confirms Yi Liu, co-organizer of the workshop, who came a year ago from ZhenZhou in central China to start a doctorate in Beijing and who plans to settle elsewhere where the climate is better afterwards.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-526\" src=\"http:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive4.jpeg 2000w, https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive4-342x192.jpeg 342w, https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive4-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive4-370x208.jpeg 370w, https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive4-1040x585.jpeg 1040w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It is not easy to build from so many problems and so few opportunities. In organizing the workshop with Fang and Yi, it seems important to me to change the perspective and to engage all participants to look for the assets and not only the problems that these communities of inhabitants could have around urban gardening and, in general, growing fruit and vegetable in the city. In the same way as approaches based on the search for positive points such as the ABCD (Asset Based Community Development) method, the idea is to make a localized inventory of the civic skills of a neighbourhood or a social group and all the other assets present in the surrounding system. The method, in its literal approach, facilitates the emergence of links between individuals and collective initiatives in their different contexts. Here, taken as a state of mind for the workshop, it makes it possible to have a more constructive approach and to make a detour that is often necessary to get out of the risk of being trapped in the treatment of problems <em>stricto-sensu<\/em>, to take into consideration the assets that motivate the populations concerned and on which to leverage indirectly to return to the initial problems. For example, the presence of young children is central to their families. They are a motivation to provide healthy food education, practical nature teaching, reconnecting with plants, generating a sense of community, etc. <em>\u00ab\u00a0My children were born in Beijing<\/em><em> says Wei Xie, <\/em><em>and they have no idea what it&rsquo;s like to live in a neighbourhood, to enjoy the common spaces, to share with neighbours!\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-531\" src=\"http:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive9.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive9.jpeg 2000w, https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive9-342x192.jpeg 342w, https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive9-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive9-370x208.jpeg 370w, https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive9-1040x585.jpeg 1040w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The group identifies multiple indirect assets on which to rebuild the collective through urban gardening: elderly people who have time to care for plants; indigenous gardening knowledge, vegetable and culinary talents from different parts of China, etc. Beyond people there are also material goods to value: seeds to exchange, gardening tools to share, flowerpots to fill, and even vegetable peels and dog droppings to compost&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-532\" src=\"http:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive10.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive10.jpeg 2000w, https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive10-342x192.jpeg 342w, https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive10-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive10-370x208.jpeg 370w, https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive10-1040x585.jpeg 1040w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Finally, participants list assets in the cultural capital such as a calendar of seasons well anchored in everyday life, punctuated by annual festivals, customs related to plantations, harvests, etc. with their corollary of culinary specialities.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-535\" src=\"http:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive13.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive13.jpeg 2000w, https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive13-342x192.jpeg 342w, https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive13-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive13-370x208.jpeg 370w, https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive13-1040x585.jpeg 1040w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>BE INSPIRED BY EUROPEAN CITIES AND URBACT NETWORKS?<\/p>\n<p>Can we inspire the protagonists gathered here with the dynamics of urban agriculture and collective gardening in European neighbourhoods? The title bears a question mark: the cases of good practices that I have brought have been collected by working with the city exchange networks within the URBACT programmes<a href=\"applewebdata:\/\/1C5B3682-6D57-46D5-A765-41F318D1544F#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a> and it is not said that they can be activated on the scale of the large Chinese megacities. Pr\u00e9 Senty, a collective vegetable garden at the bottom of social housing in the 8<sup>th<\/sup> arrondissement in Lyon, France, shows that social inclusion can be generated with very small plots of land: around twenty gardeners grow pumpkins and 4 times a year a collective soup is organised for all the inhabitants of the surrounding apartment towers. The \u00ab\u00a0Self maintenance contracts\u00a0\u00bb for public green spaces by the inhabitants of Amersfoort in the Netherlands resonate with the appropriation of the green space by ground floor tenants: the abusive use of public property can become a proven strategy for the maintenance of green spaces by residents. Last but not least, the greening of tree feet by children in the Molenbeek district of Brussels and all symbolic or educational micro-gardening initiatives involving children from families living in the surrounding vertical dwellings are particularly aligned with the concerns of the communities of inhabitants of the major cities of Beijing and Tianjin. After the presentation of 20 of such examples collected from URBACT networks cities, the transfer process can start. The workshop participants smile and start talking to each other as they begin to build their mock-upl. No more English translation for me, they \u00ab\u00a0think with their hands\u00a0\u00bb and on the tables the projects start to develop&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-546\" src=\"http:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Capture-d\u2019\u00e9cran-2019-12-13-\u00e0-08.03.24.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2622\" height=\"1494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Capture-d\u2019\u00e9cran-2019-12-13-\u00e0-08.03.24.png 2622w, https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Capture-d\u2019\u00e9cran-2019-12-13-\u00e0-08.03.24-342x195.png 342w, https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Capture-d\u2019\u00e9cran-2019-12-13-\u00e0-08.03.24-1024x583.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Capture-d\u2019\u00e9cran-2019-12-13-\u00e0-08.03.24-370x211.png 370w, https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Capture-d\u2019\u00e9cran-2019-12-13-\u00e0-08.03.24-1040x593.png 1040w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2622px) 100vw, 2622px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"applewebdata:\/\/1C5B3682-6D57-46D5-A765-41F318D1544F#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a> See for instance URBACT II, <em>Sustainable Food in Urban Communities<\/em>\u00a0: J\u00e9gou, F., Carey, J. 2015. <em>Handbook, Creating Space for Sustainable Food System in Urban Communities, Practical approaches and examples for cities,<\/em> Strategic Design Scenarios Publishing, Brussels http:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/creating-space-for-sustainable-food-systems-in-urban-communities\/<\/p>\n<p>UTOPANG TOOLBOX<\/p>\n<p>This workshop follows a conference organized by Tsinghua University and entitled: <em>Food systems and city making<\/em> or in other words how the construction of cities through the involvement of citizens and the synergies between neighbourhood initiatives such as the constitution of collective vegetable gardens that we have just discussed here, can contribute to the transition towards a more sustainable and equitable organization of food production, distribution and consumption in the territory?

La Professeure Zhong Fang qui m\u2019a invit\u00e9 \u00e0 concevoir et guider cet atelier, travaille depuis pr\u00e8s de 10 ans sur le sujet au sein de d\u00e9partement de design de la grande universit\u00e9 Tsinghua \u00e0 Beijing. Si Fang et moi-m\u00eame sommes convaincu de l\u2019agriculture urbaine sous toutes ses formes et de son potentiel comme vecteur du lien social dans les quartiers pour l\u2019avoir constat\u00e9 partout dans le monde, le d\u00e9fi est ici de taille : les 10 terrains dont font \u00e9tat les m\u00e9diateurs sociaux comme point de d\u00e9part de l\u2019atelier sont embl\u00e9matiques des plus hautes densit\u00e9s urbaines des villes de Beijing et Tianjin. Ramen\u00e9s au nombre d\u2019habitants les terrains potentiellement disponibles en bas des immeubles repr\u00e9sentent en moyenne dix \u00e0 quinze personnes pour chaque m\u00e8tre carr\u00e9 soit en termes de potager, des perspectives plut\u00f4t limit\u00e9es.

En organisant le d\u00e9roul\u00e9 de l\u2019atelier avec Fang et Yi, il me semble important de changer de perspective et d\u2019engager d\u2019embl\u00e9e tous les participants \u00e0 chercher les atouts et non plus les probl\u00e8mes que ces communaut\u00e9s d\u2019habitants pourraient avoir autour du jardinage urbain et, en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, de la production de fruits et l\u00e9gumes dans la ville. A la mani\u00e8re des approches bas\u00e9es sur la recherche de points positifs comme la m\u00e9thodes ABCD <em>(Asset Based Community Development)<\/em>, l\u2019id\u00e9e est de faire un inventaire localis\u00e9 des comp\u00e9tences citoyennes d&rsquo;un quartier ou d&rsquo;un groupe social et de tous les autres atouts pr\u00e9sents dans le syst\u00e8me environnant. La m\u00e9thode dans son approche litt\u00e9rale, facilite l&rsquo;\u00e9mergence de liens entre individus et les initiatives collectives dans leurs diff\u00e9rents contextes. Ici, prise comme \u00e9tat d\u2019esprit pour l\u2019atelier, elle permet d\u2019avoir une approche plus constructive et de faire un d\u00e9tour souvent n\u00e9cessaire pour se sortir du risque d\u2019enfermement dans le traitement des probl\u00e8mes <em>stricto-sensu<\/em>, pour prendre en consid\u00e9ration des atouts qui motivent les populations concern\u00e9es et sur lesquels faire levier indirectement pour revenir sur les probl\u00e8mes initiaux. Par exemple, la pr\u00e9sence jeunes enfants occupent une place centrale dans leurs familles. Ils sont une motivation pour fournir une \u00e9ducation alimentaire saine, un enseignement pratique de la nature, retrouver un contact avec le v\u00e9g\u00e9tal, g\u00e9n\u00e9rer un sens de la communaut\u00e9, etc. <em>\u00ab\u00a0Mes enfants sont n\u00e9s \u00e0 Beijing, d\u00e9clare Wei Xie, et ils ne savent pas du tout ce que c\u2019est de vivre dans un quartier, de profiter des espaces en commun, de partager avec les voisins\u00a0! \u00bb<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Le groupe identifie de multiples atouts indirects sur lesquels reconstruire du collectif via le jardinage en milieux urbain : des personnes \u00e2g\u00e9es qui ont du temps pour s\u2019occuper de plantes ; des connaissances autochtones en mati\u00e8re de jardinage, des talents potagers et culinaires en provenance de diff\u00e9rentes parties de la Chine, etc. Au-del\u00e0 des personnes il y a aussi des biens mat\u00e9riels \u00e0 valoriser : des semences \u00e0 \u00e9changer, des outils de jardinages \u00e0 mettre en commun, des pots de fleurs \u00e0 remplir, et m\u00eame des \u00e9pluchures de l\u00e9gumes et des crottes chien \u00e0 composter&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Enfin, les participants listent des atouts dans le capital culturel comme un calendrier des saisons bien ancr\u00e9 dans le quotidien ponctu\u00e9 de f\u00eates annuelles, de coutumes li\u00e9es aux plantations, aux r\u00e9coltes, etc. avec leur corollaire de sp\u00e9cialit\u00e9s culinaires.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-534\" src=\"http:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive12.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive12.jpeg 2000w, https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive12-342x192.jpeg 342w, https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive12-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive12-370x208.jpeg 370w, https:\/\/www.strategicdesignscenarios.net\/lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Diapositive12-1040x585.jpeg 1040w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>S\u2019INSPIRER DES VILLES EUROP\u00c9ENNES DES R\u00c9SEAUX URBACTS\u00a0?<\/p>\n<p>Peut-on inspirer les protagonistes r\u00e9unis ici avec les dynamiques d\u2019agriculture urbaine et de jardinage collectif dans les quartiers en Europe\u00a0?
