Garden City Gruene Geniessbare GartenStadt (Humane Architecture)
How agriculture feeds Honolulu from within. Gundula Proksch’s research, professional work and teaching explores interdisciplinary practices in the built environment, novel approaches in sustainable design, and their potential to positively shape the futures of cities like our tropical coastline metropolis of Honolulu Hawaii.
Gundula’s research investigates sustainable infrastructure for cities, especially those that apply living systems to manage flows of water, energy, and waste. Her book Creating Urban Agricultural Systems: An Integrated Approach to Design (Routledge) is the first source book on how to approach urban agriculture from a systems perspective. It explores how urban farms provide integrated environmental systems, innovative operational strategies and design approaches to create environmentally sound and economically viable urban agricultural operations.
