| dc.description.abstract | This project examines the potential for urban agriculture to address different barriers to settlement for newcomers (recent immigrants and refugees) living in Winnipeg's inner city. This project utilizes a geographical information systems (GIS) mapping analysis to identify under-utilized parcels of land in Winnipeg's inner city that could be developed into suitable urban agriculture sites. A focus group has provided recommendations for site selection and the elements needed on the site. This information is incorporated into a conceptual site plan for one of the recommended sites, which addresses questions of how such a site could be implemented in a Canadian context. The practicum concludes with reflections on the project and directions for future research. | en_US |
