Abstract: Since the early 2000s urban and peri-urban agriculture (UPA) has gained attention in urban policy discourse. This increased interest prompts questions about the best tools to support UPA development. By analyzing UPA practices around the world, questionnaires and interviews, this paper aims to collect and analyse the specific policies and planning tools to develop and manage UPA. The authors discuss the integration of UPA in land use systems and reflect on what these new practices bring to the planning discourse. Finally, the paper identifies the main obstacles limiting the development of UPA and proposes a typology of policy tools and some recommendations for cities and city regions.
