对全球城市快速城市化和粮食不安全的日益关注重新引起了学术界对城市园艺和城市农业的兴趣。城市菜园，包括社区菜园和分配菜园，是当地粮食生产的场所，为当地社区带来许多其他好处，如改善健康、社会网络和凝聚力、社区发展和公民积极性。本文试图全面回顾了大量的文献对城市园林的地理位置，学科和方法，在每一个检查文件中应用。审查的目的是找出现有知识的差距，并为未来的研究方向提出建议。共审查了2000年至2017年期间发表的27篇英文学术文章。数据分析的结果表明，城市园艺研究论文的地理分布不均匀，有大量的文献涉及北美和西欧的背景。研究领域多种多样，分为规划和社会研究（37%），健康和社区发展（26%），政治和公民参与（26%）和食品生产（11%）。研究结果建议未来对粮食产量，城市园艺对健康和营养的影响以及社区和分配花园的社会方面进行更严格的研究。还需要将研究的地理范围扩大到发达国家的城市以外，以丰富我们对各种背景下的城市园艺的理解。
Growing concerns about rapid urbanization and food insecurity in cities worldwide have renewed interest of academic community in urban gardening and urban agriculture. Urban gardens, including community and allotment gardens, are places of local food production that bring many other benefits to local communities, such as improved health, social networking and cohesion, community development and citizen activation. The paper attempts to comprehensively review the extensive body of literature on urban gardens by looking into geographic locations, disciplines and methods applied in each of the examined papers. The aim of the review is to identify gaps in existing knowledge and to suggest research directions for the future. A total of 27 academic articles in English published between 2000 and 2017 have been reviewed. The results of the data analysis point to uneven geographic distribution of research papers on urban gardening, having large body of literature coping with the North American and Western European context. Fields of research are diverse and fall into categories of planning and social studies (37%), health and community development (26%), politics and citizen participation (26%), and food production (11%). The findings recommend future more rigorous research on quantities of food production, effects of urban gardening on health and nutrition, and social aspects of community and allotment gardens. There is also a need to expand geographic scope of the research beyond the cities in developed countries in order to enrich our understanding of urban gardening in various contexts.
