问题：都市农业有潜力使城市在社会和生态方面更具可持续性，但规划者没有有效的政策杠杆来鼓励这一点。目的：我们的目标是学习如何使用土地清单来识别具有都市农业潜力的城市土地，以便通过回答两个问题来规划更可持续的社区：土地清单是否能够将都市农业纳入规划和政策制定？土地清单是否促进了当地可持续发展议程的生态和社会层面？方法：我们使用两个太平洋西北城市（俄勒冈州波特兰和不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华）的案例研究，比较他们进行的市政土地清单，以确定具有城市农业潜力的公共土地。我们研究它们是如何发起和实施的，以及它们各自的范围、规模和结果。结果和结论：我们发现波特兰清单既能够将都市农业纳入规划和政策制定，又促进社会和生态的可持续性。温哥华也实现了类似的整合，但努力范围较小，这意味着它对公众参与和社会可持续发展作用不大。实践要点：考虑使用土地清查的其他地方政府应考虑： (a) 利用清查过程本身来提高对都市农业的机构意识和政治支持； (b) 使城市农业与相关的可持续发展目标保持一致； (c) 通过在清单的设计和实施过程中建立参与机制，确保公众参与； (d) 利用包括大学在内的机构伙伴的专业知识。研究支持：多伦多大学城市健康倡议中心为这项研究的撰写提供了财政支持。
Problem: Urban agriculture has potential to make cities more socially and ecologically sustainable, but planners have not had effective policy levers to encourage this. Purpose: We aim to learn how to use land inventories to identify city land with the potential for urban agriculture in order to plan for more sustainable communities by answering two questions: Do land inventories enable integration of urban agriculture into planning and policymaking? Do land inventories advance both ecological and social dimensions of local sustainability agendas? Methods: We use case studies of two Pacific Northwest cities (Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, British Columbia), comparing the municipal land inventories they undertook to identify public lands with potential for urban agriculture. We study how they were initiated and carried out, as well as their respective scopes, scales, and outcomes. Results and conclusions: We find that the Portland inventory both enabled integration of urban agriculture into planning and policymaking and advanced social and ecological sustainability. In Vancouver similar integration was achieved, but the smaller scope of the effort meant it did little for public involvement and social sustainability. Takeaway for practice: Other local governments considering the use of a land inventory should contemplate: (a) using the inventory process itself as a way to increase institutional awareness and political support for urban agriculture; (b) aligning urban agriculture with related sustainability goals; (c) ensuring public involvement by creating participatory mechanisms in the design and implementation of the inventory; (d) drawing on the expertise of institutional partners including universities. Research support: The Centre for Urban Health Initiatives at the University of Toronto provided financial support for writing up this research.
