Abstract

City farm is an agricultural system developed on the roofs of high-rise buildings or other well-lit and vacant sites in the skyscrapers. The vertical city farm system is becoming more and more popular in the era of urbanization, and it is totally essential for the future development of the metropolis. This article mainly studies city farms and their impact on urban residents. This article firstly describes its advantages in terms of environmental purification (heat island effect, CO2), fresh food supply, economic development and human development. Secondly, the author analyzes the disadvantages of urban farms in terms of high cost and technical difficulty, and based on these factors gives some suggestions for the development of urban farms. Obviously, the benefits of urban farming(Urban purification, food supply, export crops, etc.) will be far greater than the consumption. In the future, this will be a very hot topic, and will continue to explore the structure, advantages and help for the direction of urban development of vertical city farms.
