Designing for urban agriculture has been recently acknowledged as a young discipline (Bohn and Viljoen, 2014), which should require the attention of architects, urban designers, and planners to promote more sustainable urban cities and continuous productive landscapes. However, how to assess such landscape proposals? How can these be evaluated in terms of their social, ecological, and spatial dimensions? Based on the Continuous Productive Urban Landscape tool as proposed by Bohn and Viljoen (2005) this presentation exposes a framework for action which could be applied in Lisbon Metropolitan Area (LMA) in order to evaluate the spatiality of its contemporary food system and promote design solutions to improve it. In order to do so, this presentation is organized into three parts. First, it introduces the problematic under analysis and the LMA case study. Secondly, it introduces the dimensions of the CPUL city actions, which could contribute to assessing LMA as proposed by Bohn and Viljoen (2012): Action U+D; Action VIS; Action IUC and Action R. Finally, it identifies for LMA a preliminary database or repository of identified typologies to assess the application of the CPUL City concept. References
