It points out the hazards as well as the environmental, economic and social problems caused by externalized and globalized food production. The thesis describes the reality of the situation in Polish cities. It analyses the urban agriculture movement and shows theoretical, historical and current examples of attempts to introduce food production in the cities. The project of this work is an intervention in the Polish settlement in Wrocław - Sępolno, which was built according to the principles of Garden City. The thesis analyses the context of Wrocław and proposes an organizational and architectural strategy for the introduction of agricultural cooperatives in neglected or disused areas and privately managed gardens. The aim of the intervention is to ensure at least partial food self-sufficiency, to improve the quality of space, the environment, the social life of the settlement and health of the inhabitants. The architectural intervention is a redesign of the outdoor space and the provision of communal space with small architecture and amenities as well as a building that fulfils residential, social and storage functions.
