Beekeeping vs. garden cities
This past summer there seemed to be a lot of attention paid in the media to urban beekeeping and it was fascinating to learn that bees prosper in high-density urban environments. Very inspiring, and a good example of how the urban world can be a (food) productive place.
If that's the model we're looking at for food production in cities, that'd be wonderful. More food production in cities would be great, so long as we steer clear of the utopian garden cities et. al. that led us to the current sub- and ex-urban blight that fills so much of the modern landscape.

Look Up, Way Up
I've always wondered about the feasiblity of building roof top gardens/greenhouses/green space...don't you think this would work well to provide food for the tenants (although I'm a bit wary of city rain), a great hobby and bonding time between neighbors, increase the O2:CO2 ratio of the air, provide better cooling in summer and conserve heat during winter for the building...I often wonder why there isn't more use of this city space.
