ATLAS OF URBAN VINEYARDS

Description

A vineyard on the roof of an office block in Tokyo; the urban vineyard in Catania with Mount Etna in the background; the Clos Montmartre in Paris with its iconic grape harvest festival; the steep slopes of Vienna and Stuttgart; a row of vines facing the famous Hollywood Sign in Los Angeles; vineyards tended by local communities in The Hague and Osaka …

Hidden amidst the concrete of the world’s largest cities, urban vineyards are true living gems: oases of biodiversity, culture and heritage whose value extends far beyond the wine they produce.

This atlas showcases them, demonstrating that urban vineyards are a rare yet widespread phenomenon across the globe: they can be found wherever viticulture exists and thrive in places where few people would expect to see vines.
