Abstract: Productive urban landscapes (PULs) offer a promising solution to address pressing challenges such as urbanisation, food and water scarcity, and climate change. Despite their potential, PULs have not yet been incorporated into Egypt’s urban planning or upgrading processes. Therefore, this study aims to develop a model that can guide sustainable management decisions for PULs. The model outlines the steps involved in the different phases of PULs and food systems, employing a value chain approach based on a literature review. Furthermore, sustainability indicators are derived based on Orientor’s theory, and their correlation to the model value chain phases is examined through expert interviews. Finally, the study presents recommended strategies to enhance urban sustainability through PUL value chains.
